3 years. I spent 3 years dodging that gods-forsaken virus as best as I could and last weekend i got the worst luck and caught it from my brother who caught it from going to the gym (geeze thnx broski, VERY cool... = n=)

let me tell you, it sucked. like majorly sucked, I'd rather eat a years worth of half-rotten durians than go through that bullshit again. at least with durians i'd be able to adapt to their rancid taste/smell and i'd get whatever benefits there are to eating them. but the virus?? nah I lost a weeks worth of work, i almost lost my sense of smell, my taste buds got fucked sideways to the point anything remotely strawberry banana tastes like ass, i've become an even bigger air-head than i usually am, it sucked to move around a lot, and some foods trigger my nausea something fierce. I'm honestly thankful that I got the two shots and the booster cuz i do not think i would have survived the full strength virus if i didn't have the shots which is kinda scary to think about ngl.

the only good thing i can say about being stuck at home is that i got to burn through some of my back catalogue of games when death wasn't trying to make a booty call (and i got to play the dead space remake when i dropped so that was a good distraction)

ffs do your best to try and avoid catching it, its not fun and its something i would think twice about wishing upon my worst/hated of enemies and not something i'd want to spread around to folks that don't deserve it.

I'm covid free rn, but I'm gonna work harder to ensure i don't catch it again :s
