anitaParticipantDear SadSoul:
it’s only TWO minutes since you submitted your post, that I am typing this, two minutes since a real-life SadSoul pressed “Submit”.
Not yet 8 pm. I am surprised that I am feeling this well, may very well be.. red wine (didn’t have any last night!), maybe I am Covid-free now?!
I wonder what country you are from, if not NZ or the UK.: eastern European, Greek, Italian, Slovakian, German..? I wonder, wonder, wonder.. your origins, what’s deepest within you. Your original language, what is it.
I will teach you a bit of my original language (after Frenc, which I was told was my first effort at speaking), translating:
Neshama aatsoova (sad soul in Hebrew).

SadSoulParticipantThose words are very pretty to my ears. Thank you. How are you today? I’m well!!!!!!!!!!
It’s overcast, the birds are tentatively forecasting today’s rain – that is, their volume and effort is midrange, so they’re not too concerned about floods and destruction. Everything is wet outside and I am sitting here enjoying my coffee, no throwing up to accompany this pure bliss!
How did your mowing go? How’s your untested covid going 😂
When covid was a thing, and you couldn’t go to work if you had it, my son’s sperm donour got it. He didn’t do the test so he could continue to go to work. I’m not going to go into how many very vulnerable people he will have passed it on to… He gave it to son who gave it to me too. Son, being the manly man he is, thought he was going to die from it and had panic attacks over it. Not surprising, , considering his father had spent the entire covid event telling him how he’d die from it, because wicked evil mother didn’t get us vaccinated. On top of that, the Dr of Google is also very good at diagnosing death to any who consult it.
See! I give enormous parts of myself away when I post! Long and descriptive essays on the life of SadSoul, her ghosty son, and that thing that contributed DNA.
Yours
SadSoul
July 4, 2024 at 3:14 pm #434674anitaParticipantI will write more later, SadSoul, but for now: I came back from more than 3 hours of mowing, plus some other work outdoors (in a beautiful location 3 miles from here, that’s where I mow). I thought to myself: this must be the cure for Covid: Mow Under the Sun. Didn’t cough, was fine and dandy until I got back home, coughing.

July 4, 2024 at 3:18 pm #434675SadSoulParticipantCrazy chicken. I don’t suppose the advice of not over doing it will be helpful 😂
Oooh man. I have to live today. I don’t want to but the efforts of throwing up and lying down for 36 hours have left me in more pain than it’s worth. I often worry about how bad life will be when I’m old and have to be bedridden. If I don’t move I get so much pain.
July 4, 2024 at 4:52 pm #434681anitaParticipantDear SadSoul:
“that thing that contributed DNA“- you have a way with words..
“Crazy chicken”– I looked it up, got “chicken” meaning a coward, and crazy-chicken-disease. Is there another meaning?
Still throwing up.. what is causing it?
” If I don’t move I get so much pain.“- chronic pain?
(I don’t think you like questions, so feel free to not answer)
I am exhausted.

I didn’t know how hell looks like until I just looked in the mirror. One eyelid is.. not how it’s supposed to be. I saw death in my eyes. I look worse than I feel. The insect bites on my arms and legs look like something from an exotic nature-movie, or a sci-fi. My throat makes a sound it never made before. And red wine doesn’t help tonight, I can’t do more than sip once in a while.
Also, seems like I am going to have a beagle (middle-aged) live with me soon. His name is Archie, so I am told. Haven’t met him yet. I love the two neighbors’ beagles, Boe and Kooper. Hunter the beagle used to be here every day for YEARS, loved Hunter. He was killed by a deer a distance from here.
Back to the mirror incident: I look like hell, is what it is.

I’m not throwing up today but still feeling a bit wonky.
Yes lots of pain but doctor doesn’t care so I keep on keeping on.
I will wave the non hell magic wand at you so you don’t have to feel and look crap!
Oh Archie sounds wonderful!
Must fly, no rest for the wicked, but will be back soon. Be well!
July 4, 2024 at 7:49 pm #434687anitaParticipantGood to read your words before you fly,(and before I go to bed)- not-at-all-wicked, SadSoul!

July 4, 2024 at 10:56 pm #434691SadSoulParticipantIf you stay away from mirrors, a bit like stoves, you won’t have to acknowledge the things you can’t see 😂
I’m very very excited to hear there’s going to be an Archie in your life! It’s causing me much more happiness than you can possibly imagine! I have furpeople in my life and they’re the best kind of people. How long until he does his first waltz in your lounge room?!
Tomorrow evening I’m going to dinner with the uncle that hates me. I’m not sure if I mentioned him before but I think I might have. My lovely cousin and I decided to give the idea another go, seeing as my cousin is in town for one night and catching up would be impossible if we couldn’t combine everyone, as the parents are much more important to see – okay, them finding out cousin was in town and didn’t stay with them is much scarier than me 😂 I’m fairly anxious about it but going to pretend to myself nothing horrible will be said by my uncle. I’m going to pretend it’s going to be a lovely family affair.
I met someone from meine home country today, who’s having their kidney removed on Monday, due to cancer. I said, ‘all the best with it.’ And you know what he said? ‘It’ll be alright. I’ve had a good life, a really good life.’ I think the universe is sending me messages. Not that I’m miraculously going to start dancing a happy dance over my life, but just at this moment in time it’s a good life. I’m warm and dry at night, have an interest I love that hasn’t killed me yet and brings a handful of lovely acquaintances into my life, I have plenty of food and the things needed to sustain me, and I enjoy my work as far as work goes. I DON’T HAVE INSECT BITES OR COVID EITHER!! The sun shines, it sets, the birds sing, no big hurdles have presented themselves for a while, LG.
I hope the itchy bites and awful throat are mending themselves while you sleep. Thinking of you 🪷
July 5, 2024 at 8:10 am #434709anitaParticipantDear SadSoul:
I do stay away from mirrors, I don’t know how it happened that I found myself looking in one. So, we’ll both have fur people in our lives full time. Will probably meet Archie in a few days when I feel better.
I wonder if you are at dinner with the uncle who hates you (he does?) as I am typing this, and how your pretending it’s a lovely family affair is going…
“at this moment in time it’s a good life. I’m warm and dry at night, have an interest I love that hasn’t killed me yet … and I enjoy my work as far as work goes. I DON’T HAVE INSECT BITES OR COVID EITHER!!..“- I make your life better by comparison then, with my Covid and insect bites: glad to be of service!
“I hope the itchy bites and awful throat are mending themselves while you sleep. Thinking of you“- thank you. I slept very little last night, was often thirsty and my throat makes this strange sound I never heard it make. I hope to have better news on this front soon!
