crazy how you can get used to working around problems that have very easy fixes. for like 6 months we used a hand towel to jam a kitchen cabinet closed because the hinges were broken and it turns out fixing it took me like $5 and 20 minutes. bedroom door has been squeaky for years and all it needed was a lil wd40. im sure this can apply to mental health too but i wouldnt know about all that.

I woke up feeling slightly less shit today, and I'm still testing negative for COVID, so here's hoping I picked up a regular cold from the kids and that's why the last two days have felt like swallowing razor blades.

Also negative for flu A and B, though I don't have any at-home tests for the weird hybrid thing going around, so I'm continuing to isolate and rest to avoid any potential complications from PEM.

Hey, um...what weird hybrid thing? I'm wondering if that's what my kid caught about a month ago that tested negative for strep, both types of flu, and covid, but made her miserable for a week.

My SIL who is a nurse was saying there’s a different variant of influenza type A (subclade k) going around. Some people are calling it “super flu”

Apparently a lot of hospitals in the US are seeing double the number of flu related hospitalizations, with symptoms much worse than usual, and it’s hit or a miss if the basic testing is confirming it. (Edit: just looked it up and I guess the subclade k needs special testing so yeah, that tracks with her telling me I couldn’t test for it at home.)

It’s a real fucker of a variant too because I guess the vaccine is less effective. But everyone who is able should still get vaccinated to protect themselves and lessen the risk of complications.

My anaphylactic ass isn’t allowed to get the flu shot anymore, otherwise I’d have been first in line. As it is I’m begging everyone around me to get it.

keep seeing stuff about this and am wondering if that's what my fiance and I just suffered through and if so I could not imagine what it would have been like without the flu vaccine jfc please get vaccinated y'all
