Salty water

I believe daily (non medicated) saline nasal sprays and gargling salt water a couple times a week has kept me healthy so far this winter. No sinus infections (my twice a year tradition), no respiratory infections or cough. I don’t know if there’s science behind this or if it’s a placebo or just luck.

Covid mitigation strategies

Always good but feeling particularly thankful for them this week!! My partner contracted covid after a recent trip, but because he masked around me and our kids constantly after getting home (as we usually do after such trips for 7 days), ate in a separate room with the door closed, and ran air purifiers—he was able to protect our whole household during the most infectious stage, which was before he was showing any symptoms but testing with a bright positive. (He developed symptoms the next day, which would have been too late to protect us if he hadn’t been masking and testing already.) It’s now day 9 since his positive and no one else is sick—still technically possible but the odds look good. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 There’s nothing hotter than sacrificing a little convenience to save your loved ones (or anyone) from physical suffering… plus in the case of covid, potential complications or even chronic disability. It works!!! 👏🏻

🧦

visibly mending

extend the life of your clothes by covering holes or stains with embroidery floss and yarn while giving them new cool zombie flair! you don’t even have to be neat, the more imperfect the weave the more organic the result. the best mended garments are almost fungal, covered in sick multi-colored lichen.

Actually resting

it’s not bed rotting to rest when you’re tired, run-down, or sick. I can feel where capitalist dogma has seeped into me every time I feel doubt or shame for how much time I’ve spent in bed or doing very little, or the fear that I’ll never be motivated to do anything again. it’s not true! inevitably after only 3 days of solid rest I naturally crave activity, projects, organization, work, and not as penance. rec for rest: screen time of any kind is not the rest I’m talking about… we’re talking rest as a monotask.
