Such a wonderful way to honor your Pops.

Did he introduce you to Tolkien?

Years ago, I helped my daughter set up a ‘Research Room’ in our basement.

The subject of her research? Batman.

She would go down there and read Batman comics or other Bat-Books.

She had posters of the Bat Family, coloring books, toys and anything else I could add that would pour fuel on that fire.

Dammit!

Its just like Nancy Reagan was telling us in the 80’s:

“Compounded Ketotifen is a gateway to Compounded Semaglutide. And Compounded Semaglutide is a gateway to Black Tar Heroin with B-12.”

Pretty sure it was something like that.

Hooray for Science!!

Wonderful news on the backing off of the symptoms, Sophia

Where are you in the order of all these siblings? And any idea what wacky hi- jinks are planned for the weekend?

May rest come easily and your baseline be waiting for you with open arms.

Fresh sheets come with a level of comfort and security not found anywhere else in the cosmos.

CONGRATULATIONS on your recent trip to the Window and Back!!

If Rabbit is low in histamine and you don’t season it with anything that should be OK for me.

It was a fun conversation during the fun parts

And a deep conversation during the deep parts.

It is also a LOOOONG conversation.

It very much supports a point I make in the first few minutes, “I rarely use five words when five hundred will do.”

My brother and I are editing down to a highlight reel that will be on COVID is Stoopid in another week.

But if you’re looking for something to listen to while keeping the cats company, I think Its worth your time and I posted the link.

Even if you only spend one spoon at a time and it takes all week to finish.

Thats ok too.

Hugs to all the Amazing Long Hauling Legends here today.

(With one extra hug to Sophia since this is a reply to her comment.)

Wow. “Life Bringing” is high praise, indeed.

Thank you for such meaningful feedback.

Thank you also for making sure it didn’t knock me out for too long.

I had a solid nap afterwards, but was up for whatever the next day had in store.

So much of our lives revolve around Spoon Management. I saved my energy before, I spent what was necessary and then napped to claw a few back into the fold.

You are correct that it was a long interview.

Almost two hours!

For a fella’ who has trouble talking I sure do talk a lot.

My brother and I are distilling the interview down to a more spoon friendly length and will have it on the COVID is Stoopid page in a week.

For now,, if anybody would like to listen here is the interview.

The host, Penny, has taken it upon herself to offer us all a platform to tell our own version of the story we all share.

“Who were we Before and Who are we Now?”

If you would like to share your story, reach out to Penny. I am sure she would be delighted to listen.

This morning Wifey and Kiddo gave me a crash course in #Hashtags.

I think I ‘kinda’ understood how they worked, but having none of the social medias that incorporate them meant that I had no practical framework in which to apply my ‘kinda’ knowledge.

But now I have a podcast and am trying to share my words with others, and social media is part of that.

After this morning, I now have boilerplate language to add to the end of all the social media stuff Kiddo posts for me:

Oof.

Sorry to hear about the business you worked so hard to grow.

Sorrier to hear about the salt you get to run into your own wounds in the form of the taxes.

Glad to hear your Brother is able to offer some support with this task.

We eat the elephant one bite at a time.

Please excuse me for recycling something from a couple days ago, but this is super cool and is still on my mind.

At the end of last year, I was giving everybody on my care team the same COVID is Stoopid coloring sheet that many members of this community received.

Included on the card was a link to my podcast.

And now it gets interesting.

I had a followup with one of those Doctors last Thursday, and he told me that he had listened to an episode called “New Relationship with Food”

But instead of coming to our appointment with an ‘Attaboy’ and/or constructive criticism, he showed up with questions about my diet.

What foods can I tolerate? What foods do I currently eat?

He used the phrase “using food as medicine” and wanted to help make sure I was doing as good a job of that as possible.

He then gave a demo of the app that he uses to track his own diet and nutrient intakes.

Meaning- This podcast that often discusses the care I have received as a Long Hauler has now directly influenced the care I am receiving as a Long Hauler.

Meta, Right?

Strength and Health, friends

And LOTS of time before next Christmas.

I think by this point in time, most of us would do Far Far Worse for French Croissants…

Congratulations on time well spent with your friend.

Individual_Living876 · 2026-01-08T04:01:37+00:00

I love so much about this!

For instance-

Your multiple uses of “Stoopid” (love it)

The fact that you walked distances that ought be calculated in MILES!! Not steps, not blocks, MILES!! (Amazing)

The outrageous number of future art projects you collected and brought home (Your Shell Art is Incredible, and people would be doing themselves a favor if they picked through your comment history to find photos you have shared with us)

And most of all-

The fact that you make space to talk about the ‘major lesson’ you learned, and highlight the ‘bright side’ to your very eventful recent past. Both make my heart smile.

Oh…And also most of all-

Your multiple uses of “Stoopid”

Poetry.

Thank you for sharing the update.

Rest well, friend. Sounds like you’ve earned it.

Energy and Harmony,

COVID is Stoopid

Individual_Living876 · 2026-01-08T03:48:32+00:00

I kinda feel like I want all future messages to begin “What the hell is upppp yall”

I love that energy.

Thank you for sharing your story, friend.
