last night i had one of those dreams where all my teeth were actively falling out except this time, i was like, “oh wait, this can’t be real. this must be a dream.” but instead of me gaining control, it just kept feeling real so i got gaslit back into believing the bad dream. sigh
after four years of avoiding COVID in our household, my partner had a faint positive test this morning 😭 she’s isolating in our basement, i tested negative, and i’m taking all the precautions i can (opened a bunch of windows for a while, running air purifiers now, etc) really hoping the faint test meant her viral load has been low enough that i can keep avoiding it myself. my anxiety is SPIKING tho
a movie i wanted to watch is a roku channel exclusive. roku channel. who’s out here subscribing to ROKU CHANNEL??? this post-cable future has jumped the shark. i’m not going to subscribe to a dozen streaming services that all charge $15+ for their ad free tiers! i’ve finally been broken. i’m cancelling every streaming service i subscribe to and getting back into torrenting. fuck this. most of the shit on streaming services is garbage now anyway and i just scroll endlessly and get bored

ME: … well, fuck.
got sick for the first time since the pandemic hit and i would just like to express renewed appreciation for masking because i used to get sick 1-2 times every year and being sick is the worst. thankfully i’ve been testing negative so i feel pretty sure that it’s just a cold 😮💨
