Gettin' vaccinated · 5:33am Mar 4th, 2021
Some creative nonfiction because I got my first dose of vaccine today, and it feels… kinda… historic… y’know?

I suck at writing longer dramatic stories, but after reading Admiral Biscuit's newest story, it occurred to me that earth ponies on Earth could possibly use their magic to grow organic ventilators and surgical masks and other vital medical supplies. Would be a cool concept, and I don't want it to go to my graveyard of ideas , so I'm throwing it out there for y'all to use. Have fun, and let me know if you use it!
Long story short: I'm in quarantine. Since Early February. With no laptop to write.
Longer story short: It sucks. Really sucks.
But now I have my precious lap baby back, and I'm ready to start working again.
Here's what I have in mind.
- Poppy's Delivery Service, Delivery 10.
- Another Shai Sideways Mystery.
- PERHAPS...another Daring Do Adventure, maybe?
- Some other surprises down the road.
Hey Guys sorry for being a little late with the current chapter, unfortunately I got Covid and was down for about 2 weeks so its been a mess and a half. luckily my strain in non-lethal so I'm fine currently, but with my difficulty breathing and loss of taste and smell, things have been very tiresome.
STAY AT HOME!!!! STAY SAFE!!!
and no hoarding of supplies!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!!
This morning, I woke up and went to work. After working for about an hour, I was called in for a meeting with a bunch of people, to be told that due to COVID's effects on economy, our company's profits had gone down by almost half. Because of these, they laid me and the others off.
So now COVID has robbed me of both my dream vacation (going to Hawaii) and now my job. IT PISSES ME OFF!!!
Okay, I'm still reeling from everything that happened over the past two hours, so I apologize if this feels like a rushed rant. I'm still wiping tears from my face while typing this.
The nation had to shut down.
Schools were in the process of switching to online.
We all had to stay at home/limit how often we left the house for supplies.
Toilet paper became the stock pile obsession.
Zoom became our best used tool.
Streaming services became members of the family at that point.
Protests....
Election stress...
Mental health/self-care increase...
Death.....
It's been 12 months of Hell....yet for the most part...we survived.
Pride and Positivity is back this year! Announcement below.
Three months.
Three months since I had been diagnosed with the infamous Covid-19, two weeks later I would be released on the premise that "studies show that after two weeks of having the illness and the symptoms greatly improve" I am no longer contagious; therefore, I count as recovered.
Despite this, the doctor recommended me that, once I get released, I shall stay isolated at home for another week just to be safe.
My sister earlier this week had contracted Covid from going to a concert (I didn't even know she was going to one or that they were even allowed now, that and apparently, it was highly unregulated according to my sister) or she got it from school/work. And now everyone in my family, myself included have Covid, my dad hasn't taken the test yet but it's a safe bet that he has it. We've all had our shots except for the booster shot so that's something. But with my mother recovering from Breast
Seriously, where did all the toilet paper go?
((My graduate training is in epidemiology and public health, and I'd like to think I know whereof I speak. This will be off-topic—possibly a more inane blog post than I've ever made here. You know what it's about.))
As I’m sure you have all heard, there is a new coronavirus that has originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2, as the virus is called, causes a respiratory disease termed COVID-19 that somewhat resembles influenza (the flu). It may be more or less asymptomatic in healthy and moderately young individuals, but it still poses a significant risk for those afflicted with chronic diseases and the elderly, oftentimes resulting in severe pneumonia.
While things have not entirely gone back to normal yet, I've decided I am not going to wait any longer and have begun seeking out means to help me find environments suited for creative writing. The next chapter is finally in development and I hope to have it out before long.
After Groundhog's day, the remaining six weeks of Natural Winter... I call it "WINTER'S PRIME"
I call it that because, for some increasingly insane reason, at this time of year it snows the hardest and is the absolute coldest it can possibly get all season! And for the past few years, Springtime has been horribly delayed (In 2018, Spring practically never came)
We called that SPRINTER, (It's supposed to be Springtime, but it's still freezing and snowing when it SHOULDN'T BE) UGH!!!
If anyone is wondering why I haven’t responded much on here, comments, PM’s, etc., it’s because…
I’ve caught COVID-19 over a week ago.
Don’t worry, most of the symptoms are gone, but not all of them, I’m still pretty sick, so please bare with me.
Have a good day and stay brony, my friends
Let's make this short.
I'm okay. For now. If I get a fever, I'll update you with another blog post.
Now here's a quick rundown on what's happening over here:
Greetings Fellow Readers
I regret to inform my follows that the final chapter of Autumn Scarlet is going to be delayed. My initial plan was to publish the final chapter on the final day of Autumn which is December 20th for appropriate reasons. This was a plan I had formed in an attempt to break out of my rut and actually publish stories. The week of Christmas was going to be busy because I was going to publish not one, not two, but three works on Fimfiction.
The good news is that the Midnight Rising chapter draft is complete, and as a bonus, I may shortly have much more time to be writing with. The bad news is that I may shortly have more time because I’m liable to lose my job at a large financial firm for refusing to obey a vaccine mandate.
