And the day stretches out to the end of time

We have now officially had a pandemic for a year. Our state has been in a state of emergency for a year and a day. I had a nosebleed for almost nine hours, but I don't think it was related. I hope the ghosts are fed. I worry they never will be.

That's a long time for a nosebleed. Given the past tense, I'll assume it's over, for which I am glad, but: body plus dry air, stop that!

I hope it listens to you more than it does to me!

The nosebleed ran from about seven in the morning until about four in the afternoon. I was asleep for three of those hours and woke hacking blood clots from the back of my throat. The rest of the time I had my nose jammed full of Kleenex and kept saying things to spatch like "No recorded human being has ever bled out through their nose, right?" It was uncool.

On the pandemic anniversary, an epic nosebleed is really adding insult to injury. At any rate, I'm glad it finally subsided!

Thank you! It was stupid. And vaguely anxiety-making.

Oh man, blood and slime going down the back of your throat: just awful.

And nine hours is nine hours too many. Easily.

The worst part was when it stopped for like five minutes while I showered and I became optimistic and then it started again.

I had a three-hour one last night/this morning. I only resent when it goes down the back while also founting out the front. I don't worry about a person of my mass going hypovolemic the way I do you, though.

I don't think the ghosts will be fed while we are still here. (The Nazis couldn't do in my grandparents. The actual Nazis. These penny-ante new Nazis went through them like a sharp guillotine and I had to watch the whole time and know. I will check in when that doesn't make me furious.)

*hugs*
Tomorrow's my one year. I left everything ready for Shabbat and I didn't even loop through the building because the clergy was still there, arguing about what to do. I do remember, and your last-year's post confirmed, talking to the chevra kadisha and saying of course I would...

Anyway. It is a lot. I am grateful beyond the telling that you are producing antibodies.

I ate many dill pickle potato chips this afternoon and have been drinking water all day! I bet entire people go through their lives without having to think about these things. I wonder what they're like. We probably shouldn't eat them.

I don't think the ghosts will be fed while we are still here.

Next generation, in Jerusalem.

So, like, the heat death of the universe.

Tomorrow's my one year.

In some ways, really, my mother's birthday was. Our house was full of people for a special occasion. It was our last gathering before the gates dropped down.

Anyway. It is a lot. I am grateful beyond the telling that you are producing antibodies.

I certainly hope so, or I don't know what that week fallen over was for. I look forward to yours.
