The good news is that my vaccine seems to be doing a good job of keeping my case less severe. I don't feel too bad really, and the "test" line on my at home test got really really dark right away, which apparently means there were lots of antigens in my sample.

The bad news is I was supposed to play board games with my friends this weekend and now I can't go. :deeper-sadness:

ETA: When I made this post I was mostly just whining and not really expecting anyone to respond, but you guys responded with so much good advice and encouragement. This truly is the best place on the internet. I wish I could give you all a great big hug. :meow-hug:

And if this is all an elaborate prank by one fed with 1,000 alts, don’t tell me, I don’t wanna know. :comfy:

    board games with friends

    Is video chatting in an option? I did that for my IRL D&D group back when the pandemic started, it's a little awkward but it works.

      Yeah, that's a solid suggestion, but we did that during lockdown too, and honestly, I hate it. It was worth it when we were all losing our minds from staying inside too long, but I'm not that desperate now. I don't know what it is, but I just can't connect with people or focus on what's going on when it's not irl. I guess I'll blame it on being an old lady, lol. Thanks for the suggestion though!
