Still Sick

Added 2024-10-29 18:35:56 +0000 UTC

Hi, yeah, I'm still sick. The cat scratch disease that I mentioned getting in the previous Friday Update came back after the first round of antibiotics, and it's worse than before. While I've started a second treatment on a much stronger antibiotic, I've got itchy blisters, swollen lymph nodes on my neck, heavy fatigue, a slight headache, no appetite, a sore throat from how hard it is to swallow with my neck's swollen lymph nodes, joint pain, and general malaise. With managing my symptoms, doing the bare minimum to make sure my cats and I are functioning, and being vigilant for fleas by cleaning and re-cleaning everything, giving my cats frequent flea baths, and washing every article of clothing I have in borax (even the folded stuff in my drawer), I've had next to no energy left to do anything but zone out and watch the World Series (fuck da Yankees, yeah! A fuck Aaron Judge, who is choking in the postseason once again!)

I know for a fact that even as sick as I am, I could push myself to get writing done, but it'd be sloppy and rather poor writing; if I've learned anything on this project, it's that planning things out and bringing my best effort is invaluable, because it's so much easier to do things the right way the first time to meet the quality I know I can deliver than to churn out crap that I have to fix later.

Uh... Happy Halloween, I guess?
