update

I got covid like a week ago.

I'm double-vaxxed and boosted.  Hopefully just improvement, from here on, i.e. no new/worsening symptoms, or "long" covid.  You're supposed to isolate for 10 days after onset of symptoms, including at least 3 days after symptoms disappear.  The kaiser website says pulse oximeters are $30-$40.   I don't have one.   Sure hope I don't need one.  Since I got sick on the 15th, with a fever on 16th and 17th, hopefully I'll be out of the woods in 4 or 5 days!  Like say the the 28th.  All I have now is an occasional cough. No more fever.  I have another antigen test.  Friends have tests I can use, and there's always Kaiser, of course.   I should probably steer clear of hospitals, though.   Mom says the government will reimburse you the cost of tests.  I'm sitting for Duke, in Oakland.   Other than Duke, I canceled my dog walking, and am isolating/disinfecting.  Wish me luck!  Or, as DFW said, wish me a whole lot more than luck, :-)

Jess

...what if my GNC protein powder, and my risperidone and zyprexa, were the magic combination to squash covid?  Kind of a fun thought!  More likely, lots of water, fresh air, hot showers, fruits and veggies, relaxing, letting my body heal, disinfecting, and staying isolated are the secret ingredients for a vibrant recovery.  Peace out. 

IQ test, isolation vs. quarantine, isolating sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.  Quarantine is restricting movement to see if people who may have been exposed or are not showing symptoms become sick.

It could go South.  I'm trying to stay positive.  "Fortunately, people with mild/moderate symptoms usually recover in a few days or weeks."  That's me.  Speaking of going South, my friends are going to Mexico in March, and I might sit their dogs, Poutine and Banh Mi, in Portland (I want to take Amtrak).   Going South can heal, too!

Covidiot

 Yup, that's me

I bought a custard-filled chocolate bar (fool fuel) from Colonial Donuts, on Lakeshore, in Oakland, where I'm sitting for Duke, 1/14-24.   This was Saturday, 1/15.  And like an idiot,  I was so eager to eat it, I took my mask off and ate it while walking home.   And a homeless man coughed on me.   I knew it.  I fucking knew it.   If I had any balls, I would have hit him.   That sort of thing should be legal.  He's always there.  And he's got it coming.  Anyway, I thought maybe I had a cold.  That's what I told myself, hoping.  I don't get sick often.  Then I woke up all sweaty for two nights.  This is known as a fever, lol.   I went to Walgreens to buy a test, but they had sold out, and told me to come back Friday morning.   Which I did.   Today, the 21st.  And I've got it.  "Rona.  Covid.   I sort of expected it.   Infected by a Chinese bat.  So I cancelled my Kaleb walk this weekend, told Karen, and texted my family (Mom, Greg, Rose Marie).  Mom tells me the government is giving out free tests, so keep my receipt, for a refund.  Marlen and Karen both have extra tests I can use...  My test was a take-home, 15 minute,  Abbott brand, antigen test, $26, Walgreens.   There's a hundred dollar plus PCR test, too.  F that.  Antigens are proteins, and the pcr tests detect DNA.   

So anyway, I'm still sitting, walking Duke 3x/day, avoiding people, isolating, masking, drinking water, taking hot showers, opening windows, and wiping/spraying surfaces, with alcohol/bleach (?) and Clorox wipes.   People think you can reinfect yourself.   Like I have radioactive sweat or something.  Maybe if I spit phlegm on my toothbrush, this would be true.  But touching a doorknob, I highly doubt it.   I've told Duke's owners, and I don't have to go home or anything.  Like stay in one room, or wear a mask, or anything like that.  So I'm on the mend.  WHO says to isolate/quarantine, after onset of symptoms, for 10 days, including at least 3 after symptoms disappear.   So that's what I 'm doing.   I'm a homebody, and that's pretty much what I'm always doing.  I'm kind of already on day 6 or 7, really.  I have a book by Neil Gaiman, an Echo for music/radio, my computer (YouTube, Joe Frank, Wikipedia, emails).  Duke and Junior, the cat.  I like to sit in the sun in the back yard.   I walk Duke 5a/6a ash, 1/2p ash, and 7:30p/9 ish.  I'm told to go slow, stay inside, and let my body heal.  I got my 2 shots, and my booster (all Pfizer, at Kaiser), and now I'm justing hoping for a 100% recovery and no "long" covid symptoms.  I'm still coughing, occasionally.   That was one expensive, tasty donut.  Maybe it's better I'm getting it over and done, for immunity or something.  Right?   They say just about everybody will get Omicron.  WHO knows!

Satan summoned his highest ranking demons.  You shall…

Lucifer, light-bringer, morpheus, making Valhalla seem like a heaven for warriors, soldiers, fighters, demons, monsters, killers, murderers, criminals, vile scum.  

   In MY opinion, anyway.

urging, rationalizing, 

Aiding and abetting?, sponsoring, terrorism

Accessory assists

abet, yes, encourage and incite

Nightmares, hell in fact,  lipstick on a pig

tricked, beguiled, seduced, delusion, under a spell

   Like war is fun

   Or you’re fighting for freedom, against an enemy

   Or you’ll go to heaven

All a load of shit

Hoarse horse

Stop yelling, nordic knight

Imagine having an imagination, nation

Be late to your own funeral!  (or dead, twice)

Visualize visual eyes

I have a dream.  Nobody judged, by the content of their character, or anything else.

Boys will be boys.  Whatever will be will be.  It’s all good. 

 (Unless it's some homeless schizophrenic pushing someone in front of a train)

Don’t judge the judges?  Like juj-ing jugs.   Yup those are big knockers.  

Tit for tat, karma, justice, revenge, you get what you give

    To whom much is given, much is expected

Don’t knock the knockers, those are the best breasts in the west!

It is what it is

Nobody is themselves

Nobody even HAS a self

Ha

It's really not ALL good, alright?

like, say, warlocks

what am I doing here?  what is this blog for?

why am I writing all this?  what am I trying to do?

  I like to write, be creative

  I think I'm right

  I want to be a source of wisdom and truth and virtue -

    enlightenment, entertainment, and empowerment!

I have lots of ideas about god, religion, spirituality

I want to share and spread my philosophy

     maybe even start a cult

making god real in a godless universe

a beacon of sanity in an insane world

stimulating insanity, too, cuz Seal was also right

  ("never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy")

I want to clarify my own thinking, get sane, help others

   make a better world

maybe, make some money, to boot

but mainly, to have fun

What could be more self-empowering than becoming God?

Jesus is dead.  Even if he was a cat, and had 9 lives, he'd still be dead.

So if only God is good, there is a need for people to step up.

Or you can submit.  Step up, or submit.  You can lead, or follow.

All the leaders can be corporate (like, say, the "body of christ")

All the submissives can be muslim (islam means submission)

you don't have to only be a dom or a sub.  You can switch.

God is everything, the whole ball of wax! 

(waxing and waning, a ball of shit/a mine of diamonds!)

Becoming God is becoming one with the universe, om :-)

Large and in charge, bigger and better

You can be in no religion, and all of them, both

Because God is a growing concept, inclusive of

all religions, deities, beliefs, theologies, philosophies

throughout history, space, and time -

maybe even unique to each individual

design your own customized personal deity,

and reject nothing, take what you like from all sources

Personally, I look down on unreflective, mindless sheeple
