~General Life Updates~

Okay, well, I ended up testing negative twice for covid. However, my other coworker that got sick also said she tested negative and has my same symptoms, I think? So, I'm going to assume I'm positive, and the strain I have isn't detectable by the tests. I already cancelled the plans I had going on this morning which sucks, and I was going to go check out a little pride thing, but obviously not anymore. I called out sick an hour ago. I only have a sore throat, a slight cough, and fatigue, thankfully.

Capitalism and the USA Brand Hustle Culture is stupid as hell. Because why am I feeling bad about calling in sick? If I'm sick, I need to stay home. I shouldn't feel any shame in calling in sick, especially when I have the sick time to do it. But I feel like I'm letting my coworkers down! I know times are tough right now with what we have going on at work, but I'm disappointed I can't help everyone.

Also, like, can I be petty for a second? It's good that, like, my ex is involved with community and all that, but goddamn, they are everywhere on my local little feed for this class they teach. And it's like, yeah, I get it, nobody knows what happened between me and this person, and I don't blame anyone that goes to these classes. But because I've realized I've been traumatized by this relationship, it's hard to keep seeing this just as "relationship drama" that needs to stay between a few people. I won't say anything because I'm not about to rock the boat, and I don't think it'll help anything. But like goddamn, get the hell off of my feed. There's just part of me that really wants to just scream to the world what happened, so that everyone knows.

Perhaps it's because I'm still not over how upset I am at them. I still hold rage towards them for doing that to me. For making me feel less superior than them just because they think they're more "mature" than me for no reason other than they think they're healed mentally when that's not at all the case. For fuck's sake, they even, like, almost convinced me to go off my meds. But I think that was more of a me thing. Idk, I'm stil incredibly upset with them. And to see them everywhere while they go around telling people I'm an asshole when they were manipulative is crazy.

ALSO! My ears and tail finally came in the mail. I ordered it from the Etsy store NekoShopFam I got the green and black puppy ears and tail. I'm a fan of pup play and cringe culture is dead. I was looking at that set for months before biting the bullet and buying them. It took two months to get it, but that was because they're all handmade. The wait was so worth it. I feel so cute, and I will incorporate it into an outfit as soon as I feel better (I will be masking ofc).

~Cajun Struggle Meal~

Have you ever wanted to taste Cajun food, but seeing those recipes are just daunting and/or you're trying to save money? Great. This is for you. I am Cajun, and this is how I've been cooking for years as a means of cooking while still respecting my limits as a disabled person. In fact the food is cooking as I type this. It's super easy. You need: premade roux (or if you don't have access to some, you can make your own), rice, tony's, other seasonings of choice, and your protien of choice. That's it.
