Coronavirus – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning XLV

Today my family and I needed to wake up and prepare early so we can get our 2nd COVID-19 booster shot early. And man… I want to go back to bed. I only have 5 hours of sleep. But I need to get the booster shot, so I drank some strong coffee to wake myself up.

Fast-forward to checking my blood pressure (BP) before getting the booster shot, the assigned doctor noticed that my BP is high and I need to wait for 10 minutes to calm myself and then have my BP checked again. I suddenly regret drinking that cup of black coffee. Stupid DW.

I would like to expound on what happened to my COVID-19 vaccination today, but right now I want to sleep more than 5 hours.

Until next time.

10-Minute Warning XIV

So, what can I type here in under 10 minutes?

Oh, yes. Because I have been coughing for a week, I went to see the doctor yesterday. And thank goodness I did. The good news: I don’t have COVID-19. The not-so-good news: I have to drink 5 medicines for my cough and cold plus asthma. (It’s official: my asthma is back after so many years.) I know that’s a lot of medication, but at least I know what to do to get rid of my sickness. I hate being sick.

Father and Younger Brother also went to see the doctor because they have been coughing like hell as well. They were given fewer prescriptions than I did. I’m envious somehow, but at least they don’t have to deal with many meds like I do. And thank goodness they don’t have the coronavirus.

As for Mother, she doesn’t have coughs or colds. Thank goodness. I hope I don’t infect her or anyone else in the coming days. I’m currently wearing a face mask at home to be safe.

Also, I printed a lot of documents while dealing with a shitty Internet connection. I had to reset the modem, connect my laptop to the printer wirelessly, print the documents, and then do it all over again. And I did the process 5 times. Damn.

And here’s some other good news: the 11×17 print I ordered from my favorite cosplayer, Riki “Riddle” LeCotey, will arrive at home in just a few weeks. I ordered them last December 2022 as a birthday gift to myself and a “peace offering” to Ms. Riki because I greeted her with a happy birthday way too late. Then I had the prints shipped to my ShippingCart storage account, saved a bit of money for the item shipping from ShippingCart to my house for 2 months, and then finally had the item shipped to my house. I’m so excited to get my prints! Now I need to avoid death in the coming weeks.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning XII

So, what can I type in here in under 10 minutes?

Unfortunately, 10 minutes is all I have. I feel lazy to work, do chores or even write this post. But I must because I don’t want to ruin my blogging streak that started last February 6. So, I’m writing about my laziness to write here.

I don’t know why I became so lazy after weeks of blogging frequently. Maybe it’s the summer heat sucking my energy. Maybe it’s because I got used to eating and sleeping more during my week-long vacation in Cagayan. Or maybe it’s both. All I know is that I’m so fucking lazy. I hope I can eliminate this laziness in the next post due Wednesday.

Now that’s said, what happened in my life today? Nothing much. I did a bit of work, then I joined Mother and Younger Brother in running errands. After that, I had my favorite affogato at Satchmi even if I have a bit of a cold. (Don’t worry. I don’t have COVID-19. According to 2 rapid tests, I tested negative.) It feels good to be back in my favorite cafe after a week away from the city, even for just a few minutes.

And time’s up.
