The Waiting Is the Hardest Part

[pshaw_raven]

I just saw that I wrote an entire post last week and never sent it. I've deleted it now, but I feel a bit dense, LOL. We got home with head colds - probably head colds, anyway - and they seem to be relentless. I've been sick since the first of May. This sucks, I'm tired of being tired, and I'm annoyed that I'm missing the last few cool mornings until November. I'm used to being able to push myself, but I'm not sure what to push or in which direction. "Listen to your body"? The signals change every few hours. I just want this over with.

Anyway. The only thing I've felt much like doing besides reading is gaming. I'm almost through Environmental Station Alpha. I'm in the post-game where things get both more challenging and more unhinged. There's a spike maze that you get through by using your dash, and I haven't managed that yet. It's not quite as bad as the cannon challenge in Owlboy but it's testing my button mashing abilities.

I also bought a Kingdom Hearts bundle on sale, which apparently has the first two games and a set of ... is it DLC? There may actually be seven games here. Fox wanted this series as well, and I decided to get it when I found Disney hadn't made any dick moves like "family sharing disabled." I'm literally just starting out with this franchise, though I've been curious about it for ... omg two decades. I've made it to the Olympic Coliseum, and the Deep Jungle. I noticed I've been picking up special moves I can swap out, and I wonder if I'll earn move slots for those, and for equipment.

The Zucchini Singularity has begun here, and I have a grocery bag of squash to turn into bread, muffins, and stir fry. The cherry tomato plant in my garden that randomly started up Leeroy Jenkins style in a cinder block has flowers on it now. We've gotten almost three inches of rain this month, so the sand road is much better, which I would enjoy a great deal if I felt well enough to go for a run.

I managed to tidy up my writing space, so perhaps when my brain isn't clogged with mucus I can do some of that. Dhhieofjkdnjdkfslfl

I've been mildly sick with some mild respiratory nonsense since about then, too. Maybe something's going around.

Could be RSV - that respiratory virus that infants get. When adults catch it, it's more like a nasty cold. I'm inclined to think it's what I have, because a cold would have resolved itself by now, but I'm always worried about someone finding a new, awful virus to spread around. Some people are real plague enthusiasts.

I'm starting to think I might have two things. Had what seemed a very mild cold that suddenly got worse just as it was getting better and now I get the occasional hacky, wheezy cough. How am I to use my CPAP?

I hope you get to feeling better very soon!

[pshaw_raven]

Thanks! I already feel better, but I can tell I'm still recovering.

Good to hear you're feeling better! Slow & steady wins the race - but I know you're itching to be back to normal :)
