It’s Covid. Im glad it’s not the flu though.
I’m better than I was last night. Now it’s the nose dripping that is driving me up a wall. I’ve been walking around with a bunched up tissue in my right nostril. The coughing is bad too, and that mostly came on today. I’m taking the antivirals, I really hope they work like they’re supposed to.
I just realized I can’t play SH2 yet because I have no internet and can’t download the game to my pc via Steam. 🙁
Just preordered SH2 remake!! It will be playable on the 8th! I am looking forward to this.
I finally MADE myself get up and take a shower which made me feel ten times better. I definitely don’t feel great though. I was about to call 911 because the pain in my head and neck was so great. It scared me. I don’t have any Aleve, only Tylenol which doesn’t really affect me. I then took a Naproxen which seems to have worked. Good thing I have more.
I wonder when my WiFi will come back. I have some sites I need to work on. Luckily I have cellular data on my phone, but that doesn’t really help much. I never want to hear the word “hurricane“ again. For real reals.
Oh my gosh I am sick as hell. 🙁
I think it might be Covid. It never got me this bad before. My whole body hurts so bad. I don’t know that it’s Covid and I’m really hoping it’s just a 48 hour virus or something. I hope it’s not the flu either. I’m going to my doctor probably tomorrow in the morning and I hope she will give me an antibiotic.
Edit: you know, I’ve been wondering…what if the water made us sick? The city says we no longer have to boil before using it…I don’t know. I don’t really trust anything anymore. Maybe I’ll go back to boiling.

Oh no, mom is sick! I hope she feels better soon and I hope me and dad don’t catch it. Today was crappy, mom was sick so we didn’t go anywhere, just visited for a few minutes with a kn95 mask on. I have slept all day. I’m using the CPAP but I’m not feeling any better yet. Still tired as shit.
I saw the pulmonologist and she deferred the Provigil prescription to my psychiatrist which is honestly a relief because I know her well and I think she will prescribe it to me. I see her in person next month because there’s a lot I need to discuss. She has the results of my genesight test and has had plenty of time to go over it. I hope for a big change.
Edit: oh crap…I feel kinda weird. I’m gonna wake up sick, I guarantee it. I feel it in my throat.
Edit again: yup. Sick.
It gets worse and worse…there’s a strip of land close to the lake that belongs to some of our cousins. They all live on this stretch of land, which is right on the river. We just heard that all but one or two of their homes were literally swept away. The water was up to the roofs. The one that didn’t float away was a brick house, but another house ran into it and cracked the foundation. Me and mom are going up there tomorrow to see it. Good lord.
Mom and dad have electricity again, finally! I’m super happy for them, because my mom was sooo miserable. Dad handled it better, all he wanted was his ceiling fan. I still can’t believe my electricity came after one day, on last Saturday. I think the universe knew I couldn’t handle it. Really.
Asheville had a bunch of mudslides and no one knows how many people died. FEMA isn’t doing shit, last time I heard. More like hindering the process. They might even give people who lost EVERYTHING $750! Wow! Even though they have to apply for it online…and there’s no internet…the fuck? This is how they treated those poor people in Lahaina, HI after the fires. While they’re spending disaster relief money on other shit… Dolly Parton has done much more than the federal government. Thank the gods for people like that. And for all the civilians who go in to help. I hear FEMA was blocking them from helping. You can’t depend on the government. They will let you languish for as long as they can get away with it and maybe drop a pittance on you if they’re feeling benevolent (read: shamed into it). They will let you die. Can you tell how I feel about the government…lol
Anyhow more things are open now so we got to eat Chinese tonight. I overdid it. Severely.
My parents power still hasn’t come back on and it’s going on seven days. I told her it would definitely come back on tomorrow. Friday was what the city said.
The maintenance guy hooked up my washer & dryer that have been sitting there for four years unused. Mom did some laundry and we left. I should mention that the washer/dryer are on either side of Oscar’s litter box. We came back to find that he shat on the floor D: I can only assume the noises scared him or something. It’s stupid though because he shat right in front of the box.
I got the Criterion Collection dvd/blu ray of Onibaba and Kuroneko. They’re gorgeous films and I wanted to own them. Highly recommended.
The waters have receded in some places. You can see how high it was because everything that was under water is discolored. It was HIGH. Mom and dad still don’t have power, they have water though. Still can’t drink it without boiling. I wonder how long that’s going to last…I think I might have accidentally drank some before I got that notification and it made me sick. 🤢 My stomach is super messed up. I’ve quite literally been chugging pepto bismol.
It’s bad and I don’t want to get into it anymore because it’s so depressing. People are missing.
I’m just scared the water will suddenly stop. I don’t think the power will but the water situation is sketchy at best.
