Jan. 5th, 2026 05:30 pmajI took today off then proceeded to review if I REALLY needed it.
Today I:
Woke up disoriented
Called in and did some work book keeping
Slept from 8am-1:30pm
Woke up and sorted picking up wfh equipment
The Chicago traffic gods were ON MY SIDE. Made it to/from work +stopping to buy cat food in less than the regular time it takes to get TO work.
Ate a banana
Slept for 1.5 more hours
Coughed so hard I almost vomited the banana
I feel my day has answered my question.

I hesitate to speak anything into the universe.
Jan. 4th, 2026 09:38 pmajMy health has just fucking TANKED in the last two weeks. COVID. Likely psoriasis freak out, or allergic reaction or unknown thing. Woke up today and suddenly my lower back decided to be a fuckshit. Like, I will soon be in excruciating level 8 pain soon fuckshit. I go back to work tomorrow.
I also have other stuff in the background, plus my surgery on the 19th. Which whotf knows if the incoming severe back pain will prevent/push that off.
I am so fucking tired. And I KNOW the reason my back is being a fuckshit is because I have not been moving around but I. HAD. COVID. I was ASLEEP for 15+ hours a day! I finally got to go outside TODAY. I bought groceries! ARGH.
Christ.

Привет! LiveJournal imports may be slow

dw_maintenanceПривет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)
Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.
I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!
С Новым Годом, and welcome home!
EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!
Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️
