Covid
How has it affected you?
I'll start: I'm home all the time and depressed. Yay! (not in a condescending way, I am truly thrilled that depression is the only consequence).

Besides being sick of having to wear masks and stay home and junk, my parents in law (who are both elderly) are currently in the hospital with the mess. They're going home tomorrow, but I'm still very concerned about them and praying like crazy! (We both are!)
Just wish this mess would subside already. SOOOOO sick of it!

I'm still breaking up with Corona Chan.
headache, dry throat, sweating then my nose and throat started bleeding (ugly upper respiratory system infection), then drowning in sweat every night...
My whole family kind of runs a bit cold, so for us, normal body temperature is a high fever - the electronic scanner things didn't pick it up - then there was the coughing.
Mostly better now - still a bit sick, the sore whole everything, headache and constant exhaustion hasn't left me yet.
In my country there's a funky new heigth of fashion variant - it is far more contagious and far worse for younger people. This means my 60yr old mom got sick for a week and was back to doing mom stuff while I emo'd out and am still not well.
Yay, go Corona Chan
PS: who the fuck died and made me a "younger person" - I'm like a MIIIIILIOOOONNN!

It took my beautiful sister Maggie away from me in April, to quote one of my favourite songs, life will never be the same again.
Oh, and my wedding got postponed twice, 21st June, 21st December. Fingers crossed for 29th January. Have to wear masks, can't have flowers, can't have music, and only 2 witnesses allowed, so the best man and one bridesmaid, no relatives friends or neighbours. So when lockdown ends we hope to have a very small socially distanced blessing down in the dockyard where our boat is moored.

For what they are worth, my blessings for your wedding and sentiments of solidarity for what your family went through.
I hope that if your sister has a form of metaphysical essence (I respect the beliefs of those who say that they do not), that it is in a state of peace and I wish you and yours well.
No morbid comments here this time, bless you.

thank you, very sweet of you.
Oh, Maggie LIVED. Celebrating her life, very much so! She spent as much time as possible on her trike, in the goth pubs in Camden London, smoking cigars, swilling gin and going to live gigs etc, wearing leather and lace... she was my biggest role model and I feel so so glad we had the 60 years we did. No regrets. Just smiles and giggles.

Huuuuuuuuuuge hugs to you guys, hoping this all goes away soon and does no more harm to anyone here!
For me it hasn't changed things much...I don't work and hardly ever go out due to mental health issues and I have no family left to the best of my knowledge...

Even though I'm not in the risk group, covid really hit me hard. 6 of my 28 neighbors had died due to (caused by covid) pneumonia. Goddamn, they died just because. How's come in 21 century you struggle to live the proper life to die in a few days from the out-of-nowhere virus.

Using masks and gloves is my daily routine. Fuck it. I won't risk it anymore. I even buy them from online stores, such as https://harmonycr.com, to avoid any unnecessary contacts. I've heard we got a new covid mutation named omicron, which is much more dangerous than previous ones. Awesome...

Man, my already pliable and volatile mind fell for arguments and causes made by those who are deceitful, believing in these causes I did many things I regret.

If there is one thing assured with life it is death, but the soul goes on. I am sure your sister is waiting on the other side waiting to see you one again, and was with you in spirit at your wedding. How did the wedding go by the way?

Isolation leaves our brains to only critique itself if you can't keep busy, I am sure you know how this affects thought patterns, I am sorry you had to experience this. Not to be harsh, but do you think Discord has filled the void of lack of message boards for the youth?

so sorry to hear about everyones covid struggles,
hope things improve for us all soon
our wedding went ok thanks to those who asked,
bit strange with masks on and hand gel asked for
no crowd to wish us well and so on
but we had our little celebration by ourselves when we got home again
first anniversary last month went in much the same way,
quiet celebration at home just the two of us
planning a short visit to Ireland when it's ok to go
have new inlaws to meet for the first time
and respects to pay to my new husbands parents who lie at rest in the family vault over there.
I guess life will take a while to get back to any sort of normal level for some of us, if, indeed, it ever does.
Life for many is just different now, and we have to make the best of it we can.
