Good morning Marci. New information is coming in about these shots. Booster shots are now available but they're now saying that not everyone needs them. I don't know the particulars but I don't blame anyone for any decision they choose to make. Each person has they're own reasons, it's complicated, and some are very valid...like your mom in her frail condition.

the doc won't let her get them because of her RA and all of her meds she takes and the lengthy list of stuff she's allergic to. otherwise she would.
 

Hello! How is everyone doing? How was your day?

I spent half of it sleeping. The other half playing video games. I have the early shift all this week except for one day when I'm in the cafeteria IF no one calls in sick.

Finding some nice people to play Fortnite with and gradually getting a little better at the game. I still can't shoot for crap. LOL! I will just continue to tweak the settings till I find what works for me. I try not to make anymore noise than I have to. It helps me last longer and this evening I was able to sneak up on someone. Had I used my in game pistol I might have had him. *Cracks up laughing* I guess the stealthier I am the more difficult the lobbies I get placed in to play in. Oh goodie. *Rolls eyes*

I restarted my Animal Crossing game because there's some pretty cool things coming in the last free update we get. So I'm looking forward to that.

Payday is coming and I think I have a couple more bills coming in this month yet. I think I'm gonna try to go to the grocery store next weekend. We'll see.

Fall is slowly creeping in. Won't be long and winter will be slapping us in the face here. LMBO! I hope it won't be as bad as predicted. It's difficult enough to get around in the winter. All the ice we usually get is a real hassle.

I received my Pfizer booster the 7th of Oct. and my arm hurt a little that evening. On Friday I had a mild fever off and on all day. Arm kinda sore all day. By evening my fever got a little worse and went to 100. An hour or so later I was chilled and aching and it had gone to 102. That was the worst of it. Arm hurt for 3 days. I did notice upon returning to work that things tasted kinda funny. I assumed it was from the vaccine. I do however think my taste buds may be changing though too.

Have a great week!

Glad you found some folks to enjoy til ur game with and that your skills are improving. When my boys were teens, they tried to teach me some simple games and finally gave up, lol. I couldn’t even figure out how to make the man turn a corner …. He just kept walking into the wall 😜

I hope you have a lovely fall … enjoy the beautiful weather!
 
You sound so happy Marci when sharing about the games you play and new friends 😄
It was a fascinating read because I hear bits and pieces of these games but have never heard as much as you shared and in detail. Your reaction to the Pfizer Booster got scary but I'm glad you're okay now. Have your tastebuds returned to normal yet?

My video games and my time I spend listening to my church services are the only escape I get from this awful life right now.

I've had a 102 fever before. Don't care for them. But to me that's minor compared to what could happen. It's not that big of a deal really. The taste buds are still a bit off but otherwise ok. It left a metallic taste in my mouth the first few days.

Alright I gotta get going to work. Have a good one all!
 
Open enrollment for our health insurance at work is just around the corner. And it's going up $3.00 every pay period. So it will be taking our raises we just recently got. I don't even know why we bother getting excited about raises when they always take it away with higher costs on something else. We're basically no better off.

That is what will happen when my Social Security goes up in January. My rent will go up nearly the same amount as the increase.
 
I find it both amusing and irritating that folks here are still fighting over Covid and masks and distancing and vaccines after 2 years. LOL! My God! Grow the hell up.

Many many many times they've stated that these vaccines weren't a cure just simply a way to keep it from being so severe that one needed to be hospitalized or risk absolute death. The vaccines have done what was expected. And yes...some have had terrible reactions to them just like any other vaccine and they've gotten terribly sick or died. It happens. You have a choice...either take the damn shot and risk dying or don't take the damn shot and die anyway. But for the love of God, must you people argue this crap into the ground? WTH is wrong with everyone? Nothin but a bunch of whiny ass babies naggin and nitpickin all the way to the grave. Good luck to you all. Peace out!

@MrPants I'll be watching your thread. Feel free to email whenever.

To the rest of y'all...this is actually it. I won't be back. If you guys want my email ask Pecos for it.

Katlupe I will contintue to read your blog and your diary.

Pecos...I love you. You and Helen are amazing. See you in email.

@drifter I'm gonna message you my email if you wanna talk about what happens when we die. love ya!

I haven't lost all my marbles yet but there's a small hole in the bag somewhere. With some help from another gamer I was able to get the sound restored on my gaming laptop. I donated my van to Wheels for Wishes for the Make a Wish kids. And I made the decision to eliminate as much negativity in my life as possible. I'm not interested in people or things that make me feel bad and I'm no longer willing to tolerate it. I have enough going on in my life right now that I'm not allowing anything else in. If that means ignoring people a little more aggressively then so be it. I don't think anyone should have to be forced to put up with unkindness.

I'm also done discussing anything Covid related. I get enough of it at work. It's a subject that has caused so much fighting that I just don't wanna participate anymore. I will leave everyone to their opinions and their notions and just hope for the best I guess.

I had a few days off. I go back to work tomorrow. We still have no applicants for cooks. I've pondered looking at other departments to see if there was anything I could do that might interest me. Not sure if anything is available at this time. I've pondered quitting too but, not sure what I would do for work. I don't have enough qualifications for any of the work at home jobs so that's out. I'm just working on mustering up the strength each day to keep showing up. *Shrugs*

Have an awesome day.

Hello, Thanks for letting me post on your diary in order to get enough posts to private message people.
 
I know many of the members here love to fight about the ins and outs of Covid and everything related. I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that no matter how you feel about the vaccines, the masks, and the distancing...none of it will matter when you get it or someone you love gets it and dies suddenly. Mom was only on the ventilator for a couple days before she left us. She was unable to get the vaccines or the antibody infusion. And the medications they had to use to try to save her life were things she couldn't really take anyway.

The odds were stacked against her from the get go. Dad is irritated with me because I didn't come around more. If I had, he could be mourning 2 deaths right now. I'm not sorry for that. If people choose to "live their lives" because they feel they have to then so be it. I have a life but it doesn't require going out into the world and collecting virus germs as much as I possibly can. I do what I can to protect myself and others around me because it is the sensible thing to do.

I have to walk past patients in the halls at work that have been brought in with Covid. That in itself is terrifying enough. I see the average 3 deaths a week that go by our dept to and from the morgue down the hall. I have to be surrounded by co-workers who've been God knows where doing God knows what when they're not at work and I am at risk of exposure all day every day. I feel it is my duty to help stop the spread as best I can by following the safety measures put into place. For myself as well as staff and patients and anyone else I come in contact with. I only wish others would do the same. I wish they could see it as a good thing...a life saving thing. You can't live your life if your dead. I wouldn't want to know that because of a choice I made that I caused someone's inadvertent death.

I wish people could understand that these vaccines are here as an aide to save lives. Not to make us into guinea pigs. What happens when this thing continues to mutate to the point where there's no saving us? Then what? Will everyone cry out about it then? Then it will be too late. No vaccine is perfect. No vaccine is a cure all. All vaccines have side effects. This one is no different than any other. My father told me that back in 2001 when the SARS thing was here they were working on these vaccines back then. They simply put a rush on it now because it was a matter of life and death. They were trying to do what needed done to save our lives. I am thankful for that. Otherwise I might not be here today.

Not everything that happens in life is some big pharma or political conspiracy. Sometimes things are just what they are. I myself don't know how anyone can feel safe going out in public unvaxxed and unmasked. To me that's far more risky than a little shot. I think the media blows stuff out of proportion on purpose just for the sake of selling it. Why else would none of the media match up?

Anyway, do yourselves a favor, give some thought to what kind of life you want for yourselves and for your loved ones. There's a special on Hulu right now called The First Wave. If you want some idea of what you'd hafta go through in the hospital if they had to vent you and you were dying. I don't want that for me if I can help it. This is as always JMO. Take it or leave it. I only ask that you think it over before you go marching out the door to go have dinner with friends or go to see a movie or travel.
