doing things that improve the current situation
still seems to be the best antidote to
*being generally stuck in life and we don't even know where to start*
no, in fact we already know where to start. we already did a couple of important (yet easy to overlook) steps into the right direction. there are people in our life who keep encouraging us to go more steps, even tho taking steps and taking agency for ourselves seems scary at times.
a brain fog poem
so we are on our own, again
like always it has been
nonsense, not on our own
for we have found each other
we are gathered to struggle
against a common enemy
they don't heal us
they have only ruined us
trust has to be earned
but it is too late for that
at least they can't hurt us any more
every step we do from now on
is a strategic one to claim
what is righteously ours
maybe some doctors' a bit better
but they are all gatekeepers
conflict in an evil system
they can not take from us
our wish to stay alive, so
we cheat the system
in order to survive
together we lie
brains fogged
minds mad
bed bound
we prevail

On a scale between "not helpful" to "outright malicious", how would you describe your experience with the medical system
Today was a good day. they just didn't do anything, yay 🥳
/s
so it's the day again!
perfect time for popular daytime activity, lying in bed all the day
as opposed to the popular nightime activity, lying in bed all the night 
re: question about acute + long covid
ah, forgot to mention, the symptoms are milder compared to our initial infection in summer 2020, but our vaccination was outdated (last one was in last winter -- our doctor refused to give another vaccination, with the stated reason being that there will be an updated vaccination in autumn)
re: covid update; health---
this is really scary, it's not "milder" at all, but different.
this time it makes realllly scary things to our mind.
already had full amnesia last night, but luckily friends where around in chat to remind us who we are
the brainfog is bad
only our little ones are able to stay at the front
also fatigue, but we already had worse fatigue
remembered it is important to pace
someone will come today to help, and on Wednesday someone else

little goobers can have ✨

the colours as a treats :3
this goober just claimed brown for gobself 🤎
question about acute + long covid
can someone remind me what i need to get asap after positive covid test, so that the long covid symptoms don't worsen again?
already ordered parlovid prescription from our doctor.
(if she doesn't prescribe it, well then bye bye doctor, we will go somewhere else
)
also got reminded of pacing.
we should have people around that could support us. already wrote to our social worker, and i think there should be at least two friends here who could help us with grocery etc.

chores live thread; health-
we had to stop after writing the above post, because exhausted. after some hours we still had enough energy to go for walkies, reading a few pages in a light book, and cook & eat food.
took us some while to see and recognise the symptoms, but we might be sick actually
. we have this weird but familiar kind of dizziness, and also fatigue and headache. will make quick antigen tests tomorrow, and take things more slowly again. (might have to cancel our re-schedulled social work appointment, again,,,)
but now for sleepies 
Health update; bad news
Triple RAT results, as of today, 12:10 UTC+2:
- COVID 19: Positive 😭
- RSV: Negative
- Influenza {A,B}: Negative
Notified the one contact that we had last week, who was coughing a bit. We're masked in all other enclosed spaces (hope it was properly tho; we should really stop wearing the worse quality masks, and consistently use the (also comfy) FFP3 masks, or our MSA Advance 900.)
