Tumblr post by Cordeliaflyte — My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency Reply by caracallope — Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?

Oh ok, so this actually happened today (well, “weird unexplained health crap” and the “identifying ‘the vitamin’” part, we shall see on the rest)

Hey kids, get your iron and b12 levels tested! 😅

ChatGPT is asked to interpret the event countdown shown in an uploaded screenshot (2 days, 9 hours, 43 minutes, 6 seconds) and add it to the current time in Pacific (US/CA) time, resulting in January 31, 2026 at 6:01:08 AM Pacific.

Dumb but practical uses of #AI, what time is the clan event in my stupid mobile game? 🤣

Recipe instructions read: In a small microwave bowl or small pan over low heat, warm plum sauce. (Manually highlighted) Tip: Skip this step if you don’t want to warm plum sauce.

I am *extremely* curious about the specific sequence of events that led to the addition of this sentence, which one would *think* is self-evident. 😂😂😂

Happy 25th anniversary to Drupal. I build it w/ many of you & loved every minute. In honor, I present weitzman.github.io/drupal25-tim...

Lung crackles no longer crackling, this might be ACTUAL progress this time lol

Prompt: “Hm now that you mention it I am severely underinvested in chaises” Response: “This is an unforgivable gap in your portfolio, frankly. Given recent events, a chaise would have delivered: • superior dramatic reclining • dignified coughing • a place to gesture weakly and say “I shall recover, eventually” • excellent surfaces for strategic brooding and asking incisive medical questions A couch says “I’m resting.” A chaise says “I am *convalescing*.” Think of it not as furniture, but as infrastructure.”

Ok I’m sorry folks, I know #AI can be problematic but sometimes #ChatGPT is just so *fucking* funny. 🤣🤣🤣

(Context: it was saying i should make like a Victorian on a chaise and recline a lot over the next few days to help recover from pneumonia.)

RIGHT?! Feeling so betrayed.

Fingers holding up a blue pill

Also I like that these hopefully miracle antibiotic pills are Drupal blue lol

Xbox Achievement unlocked graphic

So “concerning lung noise” got worse and went down to urgent care.

Achievement Unlocked: Pneumonia wooooo 😩 Hopefully tho meds will clear it up within a week? 🤞

FOLKS!! There were a couple of times today where breathing was happening through BOTH nostrils?!? 🤩

Ok now in the “upon inhale and exhale it sounds like a creepy haunted house door opening in my lungs” uhhh… progress? 😅

Did make it through Day 1 back at work without dying tho so that’s something!

A man sitting at a desk, horrified, with his tie flapping behind his head. An envelope on the desk has exploded with lightning and it’s zooming around the room. Caption reads: What the heck is Electronic Mail? Subtweet reads: Me, on Monday

I know we hate things from That Other Place but this completely cracked my shit up HAHAHA

3 important learnings here:

1. NEVER. RELAX. 2 weeks of PTO? Body: “NOPE here’s some unscheduled maintenance FUCK YOU”

2. NEVER EAT HEALTHY. Introduce protein, fibre, and vegetables? LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.

3. NEVER HYDRATE. 6 drops of water per week? Fine. Tea+broth+water = walking mucus factory.

😉

Ok, Chest Shit™️ has now moved up to Sinus Shit™️ so either I’m (hopefully?) finally starting to get a bit better? Else, I guess I’ll need to look into places that do both lung AND head transplants. 🤪

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup You’re going to love this Instant Pot chicken soup recipe, especially if you’ve ever made chicken noodle soup the old fashioned way.

Ok day 187 or something (probably actually 12 😝) means we pull out the BIG GUNS which means we go “outside” amongst “people” (ugh, the worst) and grab ingredients for my favourite sick time soup: www.spendwithpennies.com/instant-pot-...

TUNE IN to see if there’s a miraculous recovery! (One hopes.)

Neat! Never heard of either of them but looks like they sell them in Canada so I’ll give them a go!

lol I’m just whining, it’s fine. But ugh. SO over it. 🤧

Asking for a me: Are there any outpatient lung transplants available? 🤪

A plate of butter noodles

Ok the plague stays on so we are pulling out the BIG guns—butter noodles 😂

This week+ long illness coincided with me trying various things to turn my health around. COINCIDENCE?? 😂

Mango sorbet (en français)

Sadly, also no. 😭 Back to fluids again, argh. But at least these fluids are tasty and soothing on a sore throat.

I swear once I’m finally better I am NEVER drinking tea ever again in my entire life. 😂

Kinder bueno mini bag

Sadly Turtles did not seem to be the miracle cure; next up: Kinder Bueno Minis.

We acquired these from a nice family from a “buy nothing” facebook group in exchange for a frozen turkey, which was meant to be turkey SLICES in our grocery order. 😂

Will this chain of silly errors result in healing?

SHUT UP. Are you for real?! These are literally my favourite!!

Excellent, I look forward to corroborating your research! 😋

Box of nestle turtles candy

Spending the holidays doing important scientific research on unconventional cures for rotten chest colds since tea, soup, and water ain’t cutting it.

Could this regular box of Turtles be hiding a miracle cure? So far the answer is no, so obviously the answer must be found in eating MORE Turtles. 😂

Incredibly niche shirt that only #vancouver frens will get but no shirt has EVER captured my very essence better than this one. 😂😂😂

What this 500 error on LinkedIn taught me about B2B Sales...

Ladies tweezers is 13.99, tweezers for men is 19.49

However I do kind of appreciate that this is the only product I’m aware of where the “pink tax” goes in the other direction. 😆

I’m sorry… not to be *super* old, but…

HOWWWW is a pair of TWEEZERS over THIRTY DOLLARS?!?
