Using social media to try to find ways to heal from long COVID. And learning things in general.
Don’t know anything about basketball? Great! Neither do I! But it was so fun to be a part of last year! 😀
📣It’s time for the Long Covid Madness Bracket Bash!🏀💙

No basketball knowledge? No problem! This is all about fun, community, and Long Covid awareness. Anything goes!

Everyone’s welcome! #LongCovidMadness

Hosted by @samnorpel.bsky.social, @justkim.bsky.social, and me.

Someone I know went to the doctors office the other day and said most all the front desk people and nurses and doctors were wearing masks that day. Which isn’t the norm anymore. So if you need to go to the doctors, that should be enough to tell you that now is a good time to wear a mask….

I thought that was the bottom. But the basement apparently has another basement….

Just finished the book “Remarkably Bright Creatures” and really loved the book. I had zero idea what it was about going in. It was recommended to me by a friend, and it was really great.

I didn't know how much I needed to see a donkey snacking on oranges until now 🖤

Having Labs all my life, this made me laugh. All of them were great and wonderful dogs and all of them at one time or another were smart enough to get themselves some delicious people food. This is the first holiday season for decades that I don’t have a Lab. This brought up funny memories…
apparently the instruction "leave meat to rest after cooking" was invented by pets to increase their chances

I have only had crème brûlée once that I liked. It happened to be a chocolate crème brûlée. Today I was lucky enough to have gingerbread crème brûlée and it was amazing. Are there other flavors? Do I just not like vanilla? Have others been having all these amazing flavors and I just missed them? 😂

One of the kiddos asked for a mask chain for Christmas so this was my first attempt at making one. Will show it to her and see what she thinks and if she wants to make any changes. Also these pics made me order some black n95 masks after solely using auras for years.

Getting ready to go to a blood draw. And I know I will probably be the only one wearing a mask. Just talked to one of the kiddos about how it is exhausting to be one of the few masking. But the alternative is so much worse. So a-masking we will go….

One of the kids came to the house to pick something up and get their car tires filled. I thought it was going to be a quick stop, but they ended up staying for almost two hours. It was a lovely, unexpected surprise.

Feeling a bit “what if” today. The plan b4 the pandemic was after my youngest graduated, I would go back to school and start working after being home for 20 years. What if Long Covid had not happened after a March ‘20 Covid infection. What if I didn’t have fatigue and feel sick everyday. What if…🫥

It wasn’t my original plan (which was to see Wicked in a few weeks when the theaters were less crowded) But I ended up going to a full theater today. I loved the movie. I had on an N95. While I miss the old theater experience of snacks, it isn’t worth it to me, w/Long Covid, to catch Covid again. 😷

So thankful that even while still struggling with Long Covid, I am well enough to do a lot of the cooking and having our small family together for the day. I have to plan better, not procrastinate as much, and I am now exhausted, but I did it. And I am thankful. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have oatmeal for breakfast with some kind of fruit. And I haven’t had apple with it for quite awhile. As I was cutting up an apple this morning it made me sad/happy because our Lab at the end of her almost fourteen years suddenly liked fruit and would wait for me to give her some apple each day.

This is not a good start to lowering the cost of groceries, right…🤨

There is no way around it. I slept late because I was so tired. And I have to go to Costco mid day on a Saturday. Before Thanksgiving. Along with the total population of the surrounding suburbs…😱😬

Hoping I make it back by dark….

So my kiddo’s partner is a big movie person. And they watch classics and “older” movies as well. I thought it might be fun to have a movie night watching Gosford Park. It is long and subtle, but I think it would be fun. What are other “older” movies that would be fun to introduce them too I wonder?

So proud of one of my kiddos. Did their first spay and neuter surgery at vet school. They were so nervous the day before and worked through the nervousness. Even though I feel like my wings have been clipped from Long Covid, I am so happy to see them begin to soar. 🙂

Sometimes you have to appreciate the little things. This time of year I see cute seasonal sheets but they tend to be flannel, which I don’t like. At Target today and saw these regular sheets in a cute seasonal print. I needed this little pick me up today.

I am at that point where I think I have enough wrapping paper, but I absolutely don’t want to risk not having enough when I am wrapping things last minute. So I bought an extra roll. I wouldn’t have done this when younger. So I am calling this maturity….😂

Had dizziness all week and wasn’t able to do much. Yesterday with the help of meds the dizziness is much better but my wearable is telling me I need to slow down. Which is hard when you are trying to make up for not functioning last week…
Long Covid is not being able to plan ahead at all.

LC confuses even those of us with LC. I tried going off one antihistamine a bit ago. I was doing fine. Then last week I would turn my head in bed and get the spins, nausea, all the things. Back on the 2nd antihistamine. Do I know for sure that is the reason? No. It is a guess like everything else. 🫤

I enjoy group chats. I learn from some, some are just fun, and some are community building. I hope they become a reality here quickly.
Petition to quickly add group chats to #bsky🙏.

Reason: They are very important for community building, to have a bit more private space to connect & discuss issues.

Pls like/reskeet (repost) if you agree or add your own reasons💛.

First very small (tiny) change. Moved Bluesky to my front page and the dying bird to the third or forth page of my phone. Here’s to getting used to the new first page configuration…😂
