Sheep

but yeah, it makes me sad the almonds didn't survive afterwards... nor did my stomach lol, it's one of my guilty pleasures and just one of the foods I use to remember times that I don't want to forget

I'm not sure what's happening. I was supposed to get the Johnson vaccine tomorrow but it was just put on pause here in the U.S due to blood clotting issues found in 6 women who received the shot. My uncle said he would contact them and see if they can just give me one of the alternatives.

I wasn't aware of pizza causing heart issues. I guess there's a few other foods I could think of that are equally unhealthy, one that comes to mind is bacon. So Bacon Pizza must be twice as unhealthy. I do have some issues with reflux (inherited). So I never want to eat more than 3 slices anyways or I'd probably get an upset stomach. I don't know enough about nutrition, I've always just kind of...eaten whatever. My metabolism hasn't slowed, so I haven't had to worry about weight yet.

To be honest I think they just slap the $60 price tag on all major franchise games. I have no idea about what prices looked like 20 years ago. Since I wasn't born yet during the N64 era, I was only able to play them on Virtual Console for the Wii. I assumed all N64 games must have been $10 each because that's what they cost on the Wii. Actually that was a silly way of thinking. I guess they must have been around $30 or $40. I bought Okami because it was only $20 on switch. (will give me something to do if the vaccine makes me sick).

you're speaking my langauge

Hello Sheep~
Thank you for checking up on me it's very kind of you I really appreciate it. I'm doing fantastic I'm proud and happy to say, much more better mentally, thank you for asking~! I hope all is well with yourself too, please take care~! ♡

I actually got my confirmed vaccine date (Wednesday). So...two days. I'll be getting j&j so only one shot. But I heard it can have some strong side effects, -_-

Dark chocolate is pretty much the only kind I eat. Chocolate is also one of those things that when you eat a little, it's hard to put down. Same thing with pizza. I don't branch out to much with that either (I don't even like pepperoni). But I always eat stuffed crust. I wish I could try the pizza in new york. One of the things I want to do most.

It looks like Pokemon snap will also be $60. I can afford it, but I also don't want to pay much for a game that might be really short. (The N64 title was not a long game). And I know it's only going to have a fraction of the pokemon. The sad thing about nintendo, they have a tendency to never lower prices.

Yeah anxiety has a weird way of making things worse than they are. Like I know it's just going to be a fast pinch, but my mind just pictures it over and over again. I think the anticipation is worse than the actual injection. It also gives me anxiety checking my email knowing at any moment my turn could be ready. I'm nervous about the side effects too.

But yeah my chess rating is currently 854 ELO. I started the year at 350 and went down to 328. Ever since then I've practiced and studied, and it's put me on a rise. Here's my stat rating from the last 90 days:

mmm eating almonds

The only chocolate I like is dark chocolate, but I don't mind caramel either. I like peanut butter flavor stuff too. Did you ever get the discounted chocolate? Also hope your easter went okay

I'm not overly familiar with Switch Kirby games. Like I get them mixed up between what's 3DS kirby and Switch kirby. I did want Mystery Dungeon DX, but I decided the $60 is just too much. I haven't played Gates to Infinity either, which is something I want to try.

Since I'm getting my vaccination soon, I'll probably end up turning on korra. Just anything to get my mind off things if I get side effects. My anxiety over receiving it is horrible. I'm just not someone who likes needles either.

I did go above the average on chess.com (currently 50.4%). It's been so cool progressing, knowing at the beginning of the year I was in the bottom 2%. Buuut everybody reaches a peak eventually, so something I've wondered with myself is when I'll reach my highest possible.

Well to be honest, I felt terrible the next morning I REALLY didn't want to move and it hurt being up for a short period of time :( But taking Motrin the whole time really helped me feel better and prevented me from getting a fever. Oh D: Well the first one shouldn't have side effects affecting at all. The 2nd one will unfortunately :/ So when that happens it's best to take either 4 of the medications: Motrin, Tylenol, Aleve or Aspirin.

happy easter!

You get messages so quickly i had to click the next page to see what the conversation was about. Kirby was mentioned, I do have Kirby Triple Deluxe now which is a really cute game. I was one year old when Pokemon Crystal released in North America, so not something I got to experience. However I did order a cartridge of silver online, and got to play pokemon crystal through virtual console. (Not a huge gold fan, i like lugia more than ho-oh).

I feel like I dreamed something about the avatar series...but I can't remember it. I'm interested in a series between korra and avatar since there was a huge time skip. But I have a feeling the next series would be another time skip with an old korra.

I can arrange that for you! <3 Well I got both of the COVID vaccines and had to deal with the side effects of the 2nd dose of the COVID vaccine for 3 days so I'm good now :)

I totally know how you feel about not having enough boosted cards, that's how it feels to not be a whale I suppose, haha. Don't stress yourself too much over building multiple teams because of how you're likely to have a limited card pool. Usually I'll just obtain the event cards, put them in my team to get more points or event currency, and then just play normally with my team + the event cards. If you don't mind spending skip tickets as well, that's usually just what I do.

Is there an easter lockdown in progress? That had been mentioned in the news but I don't know if the SA govt followed through with making it happen. A lockdown during a major holiday weekend, doesn't make any sense :|

Which vaccine will you be getting when you return home? There's only one here, so not much choice when compared to the US.

I wouldn't mind the commuting under normal conditions...but the idea of making sure I haven't forgotten my mask every time I leave the house for work everyday and being sanitised before I can enter the workplace (even if I leave the place later during the day and then come back) really puts me off. My mom works in town so she's been going through that all along. And the thing is most of what people are being sprayed with is not legit hand sanitiser, but because people just want to get on with their business they aren't going to stop and give that some thought, they'll just get sprayed anyway. When I step into town, I carry a small bottle of home-made hand sanitiser that my dad manufactures, at least he knows what he's doing and I can confirm that it's the real deal haha it's bad enough to be denied entry without a mask but being sprayed everywhere you go too? I think people have mishandled this whole situation to the point where we are just inconveniencing each other for no reason. So even if you are someone who has been vaccinated you'll still be subject to all that, unless maybe you're in one of the EU countries that are pushing for the vaccine passports. But it means you'll probably have to carry that passport around with you :/ which is just as bad.

nice lol

Saved by that glass perhaps? You and bf were extremely lucky, I hear that SA variant has been so bad that the government had to switch to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after the initial vaccine didn't work. That's insane.

Once I know enough about this Sinopharm vaccine which is being rolled out here I'll make my decision about getting it, because currently I don't know much about it except for which company manufactured it and where it came from. No idea if it has gone through enough trials before or what the short and long term health effects are. None of the news outlets are giving out any of that information, people are just being told to get vaccinated. Seems very odd. I'm glad you won't need a vaccine passport or pass to travel, I think a lot of people are worried about not being able to travel or go out for concerts, live sports events and so on unless they have that passport. So they are under pressure to get whichever vaccines are being rolled out in their countries, even that Astra Zeneca vaccine which has been causing trouble.

Speaking of self-isolation, that's pretty much what I've been doing all this time haha. Major benefit of working from home, even before this Covid nonsense started. Also because going into town has become so tiresome :/ shop to shop, place to place, you won't be allowed inside unless you're wearing a mask and you'll be sprayed at the entrances or at the front counter by what may or may not even be genuine hand sanitising liquid. Is that the same case over there in SA?

Nope no other issues hehe

and y e s shiny Magnezone! kinda surprised since we didn't make it hold a rainbow stone lol

The question mark thing is what happened to me haha

From what we've seen and heard for the last couple of months it's been one major problem after another for SA, from Covid to varsity students protesting to power cuts...damn. How have you been holding up during all this over there?

Things have been pretty much the same here haha, we were under yet another pointless lockdown between 2 January and early March. Restrictions were relaxed and now the Sinopharm vaccine from China is making the rounds. Not mandatory fortunately, but even that could change. You'll be able to travel back without one of those "vaccine passports" or passes required?

no problem haha

also is it just me or emojis dont appear?

Aight I'm awake now so gonna confirm ^^
