What's Bothering You?

Why. Is. Booking. My. Covid. Vaccine. So. Complicated!!

“You can book online using the provincial system!” I go online to the provincial system and because we’ve decided to move out vaccine hub (for the third time) it’s not showing up on the provincial system.

“You can book online using the local system!” The local system has never worked. It’s never shown an open date and it’s so frustrating.

They’re hosting a bunch of walk ins now, probably because the damn system is broken. Hopefully I’ll get in to one of those but the whole thing is bothering me. And now I’m anxious about getting it so close to my period because I’ve heard it can mess with them when I already have fairly rough periods plus I just... don’t want the General Covid side effects to overlap with it? It’ll be bad enough to have the sore arm with my sprained shoulder but to also potentially have nausea, headaches, and whatever else? I’m just grumpy.

And I see the dentist soon 😔

If it helps any, I didn't notice any big side effects regarding my period once I got my second shot. I too was scared of that. I got Moderna, so idk which one you're gettin. The side effects of my periods aren't terrible, but have been slowy getting worse and worse. If anythin, the period I got after I got my shot (2 weeks later) was actually lighter than normal. Like, I went a whole day being lighter on what is normally a heavy day. My friend said her period came a week early (I don't think mine did) and hers was lighter and ended sooner than normal. She got hers closer to her second shot. I've also read that periods return to normal afterwards.

My side effects were being tired for a 24hr timespan. Like, really tired. My arm also hurt less with the second shot than the first. Others in my family have also said the second poke hurts less than their first. I got my shot around 12pm, then around 7pm I started feeling tired, which is not normal for me. The next day I was still tired and feeling drained of energy, but that went away around 7/8pm. Then after that I was completely fine, no other noticeable side effects.

Here's to hoping your side effects go smoothly!🍀

Thank you! And thank you to @TheSillyPuppy and @CanuckChick as well. 🥰 I think I'll try for the walk-in clinic we're having later this week and if I get turned away I'll call the pharmacies. I'm also nervous I won't get Pfizer as my second dose 😅 I know that mixing the doses has been approved but I'd rather get Pfizer both times, if I can.

When I got my first dose back in the beginning of June my period was worse than normal which is mainly why I'm concerned! I had much worse cramps than I'm used to and in general had a lingering headache for a while and I've heard the second dose is usually worse. Plus I'm set to go to the Dentist July 13th (fingers crossed my wisdom teeth are fine!) so I'm nervous about getting my vaccine a few days before the appointment and having it make me too ill to go. Doesn't help that my periods usually due around July 13th, lmao. The timing of everything is just really lousy and I wish I could've gotten my second dose at the very beginning of this month or at least have the booking system be working so I know when I'm able to get it done.

But seriously thank you guys for taking the time to reply to me! I appreciate all the tips and kind words 💕
 
earlier my uncle remarked that I hadn't gotten a headache for a few days and I was actually quite surprised, considering I get them basically every day.

and then an hour later I had a headache 🙃
 
About a month from my requested move-in day and I still don’t have an apartment assignment. You mean to tell me you can’t tell me *anything* about future availability?
 
I always seem to get really tired and demotivated in the early afternoon when I'm in the office at work. It's rather annoying and I don't know what to do to stop it.

I worry about what my manager thinks of me. What I think that he thinks is I can't manage time and I'm forgetful. I'm definitely forgetful thats for sure. I really wish I wasn't. And now I'm afraid that my bad traits, like my forgetfulness, are overshadowing anything good about myself.

I haven't made any friends in my current city yet, and don't know if I ever will. Do I even need friends? I mean probably since it's probably healthy for my social life/mental state. But on the other hand I'm antisocial af, probably have social anxiety, and am reasonably happy by myself, so maybe I don't need friends?? Idk??
 
Someone just came speeding through my neighborhood in a presumably stolen cop car and drove by where we live. Lights and siren on and everything and then crashed into a house on the next street over. There was a loud scary boom so I’m sure whatever they hit they hit it pretty hard. I hope nobody was hurt. I could only tell the location by the flashing lights above our fence.

I may have been looking at some funny mouse pads with wrist rests on ebay, then may have clicked buy it now while trying to leave the page. Now I'm committed to buy a Hanzo from Overwatch oppai pad with nipples.
 
UK chest sizes varying too much on certain garments, can you at least write a general advice for those in-between or with not a tall posture lol. AlsoI don't think 100% of the ladies in the UK are 5'9" lol
 
I'm bored so my executive dysfunction is paralyzing me 😔

maybe if we could go somewhere for like 45 min, that would be fun and maybe just enough to get me out of this funk

Pharmacies are definitely the best bet if you're looking for a specific vaccine nowadays. The (now former) Pfizer-only clinic in my region just updated their part of the region's website that they would be administering Moderna to folks 18+ for all second doses. :/ Personally, I don't have the time (or energy, lol) to continuously check for openings online at the pharmacies, so I'm just going with mixing.

If you end up joining the VaxxHunters Discord, the best channel to monitor is called pharmacy-bot-on -- just as an FYI.

I hope your dentist appointment goes well, and I hope my advice helps you (thank you for giving me an opportunity to productively vent as well). XD

I slept for 9 hours last night, but I still feel exhausted between menstrual symptoms and the cloudy weather.
 
Realized I ordered two fairly pricey figures the other day on an account that I haven’t updated my address on. It’s not a huge deal as my parents still live at the old address but unfortunately it’s an hour long drive to get there from here once they do come. I feel dumb for not realizing sooner. Oops.
 
Well my friend just messaged me to let me know that their husband who they got married to 2 weeks ago passed away today. They aren't telling anyone how he died yet but I feel like I'm floating in space, this was just so unexpected. No one needs to tell me their sorry cause this isn't about me, I'm just concerned for my friends mental health now.
 
@oak I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts, that's really upsetting :(


I'm lowkey tempted to tell my therapist about my dad emotionally abusing me and my mom and my brother for so many years. enough is enough. he's not gonna get away with it any longer. I'm tired of his ****.

I had been bothered by something I so I messaged someone for some clarification and I’m kinda scared I’m going to get yelled at for being ridiculous. I’m sorry for being so nervous about sending messages and for the stupid stuff I ask and for my anxiety. I feel like a lot of times I am the most annoying person in the world. Also I realize I have to let things go and just move on but my mind won’t let me, so I’m worried that one of these days i’ll make more people snap at me which is why i have been trying to keep everything to myself not to mention all my friends have their own problems so I don’t want trouble them with mine. I just think it is really inconsiderate to go crying to a friend about something like not getting my way about something when they might be going through some abuse or being stalked, or who knows what (those aren’t specific examples but just are stuff that i thought of at the top of my head). One of my closest friends didn’t want to tell his cousin to not text me, which was to him picking a side, so talking to him about not only the three years of anger towards his cousin is out of the question if something that wasn’t requiring him for any stance was seen as asking him to side with me.

I think I might want to change my username eventually since they all know my username and been feeling uneasy about it and paranoid.

You should confide in your friends. I can speak from personal experience that keeping it in just creates distance especially when they already suspect something is wrong. You’re a good caring friend and I’m sure they would like to return the favor. I also don’t think your problems are any less valid just because they aren’t as major as someone else’s. Just my thoughts at least.

My dog has a lesion that keeps weeping. She's on antibiotics and I think she'll be fine, but she's such a drama queen about it all that it makes me feel terrible haha
