    I’m getting over COVID.

    It’s been quite the fucking journey, I’ll tell you what.

    My stress level has been high and my bank account is constantly overdrawn. I don’t really see a way out for at least the next six months–I’ll just have to keep juggling cash advances and overdraft fees. Even my pending raise at work was delayed once again. Yay.
