Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

My head is shaven, but other than that... quarantine means no movement, and far too much food and alcohol. I'm never going to fit in my wedding suit at this rate...but seems more and more likely we won't be able to have a wedding, anyway.
 
I'm gaining weight like a mother fucker right now. No gym to go to, outside is a skating rink of glass like ice, etc and I've been eating like an asshole. None of it is an excuse, but I'm definitely using junk food as an emotional crutch right now. Also, I waited too long to get a haircut and now I have a mangy scraggly head that there's no clear way for me to tame without just shaving my head.

Stupid.
Not entirely applicable if you don't have a hair trimmer with sized guards, but you can modify step 2 to do step 1 if you don't mind longer hair on the sides/back.

 
I have to eat on my treatments days or I’ll be way more sick the next day. I’ve been acting like is treatment day everyday. It’s bad. And my PlayStation and my Palico (Monster Hunter Cat) haven’t seen this much of me ever.
 
I'm kinda having the opposite issue. The stress is shrinking my appetite and I've lost a few pounds. It's also causing me to have bad dreams the past 3 nights in a row. I mean, I need to lose weight, but this really isn't how I want to do it.
 
I do have my park I can take my bike around, but with all these beautiful hiking trails around the valley, they're getting overcrowded to the point where various cities are restricting people.

Arizonans are not taking this thing seriously, TBH. (Yes, you could replace "Arizonans" with "Americans" and be 100% correct.)
 
My weight has stayed exactly the same +/- 2lb/1kg this entire time.
Which is annoying, since I was trying to push that downward.

MEANWHILE, AT CASA DE LA GASBANDIT....

I am so fed up with people that can't comprehend what they read! (not anyone here, talking about around my home area)

Stay at home order goes into effect tomorrow at 11:59am. Already seen idiots that are: WE HAVE A CURFEW AT 11:59AM TOMORROW!!! No you idiot, the new country order goes into effect, it's not a curfew. Learn to read.
 
So I'm in the process of buying a house (wonderful timing, isn't it?) and despite all the odds, real estate transactions are still happening, so I should be getting close to closing. My apartment lease expires at the end of April so I'd really like to be out before then, since while I can't be evicted, I'd rather not deal with it. As of Wednesday, everything was going smoothly, the people selling the house are moving into a vacant house so they don't need to wait on people to leave theirs.

Now suddenly, they aren't closing on the new new house and they want to push my closing until they do. That's a very common contingency to put into real estate transactions, but they chose not to. I don't understand how you could choose to leave that out when you don't already have your next place to live. That being said, the coronavirus stuff means that I don't think we can really force the transaction to go through. I figure I can back out of the deal and get my deposit back, but I'd want the house. And I'd like the urgency becuse the house is something like 3x the size of my apartment and I'd much rather be quarantining myself in there.
 
2 whines. Both work related.

1 - I'm live streaming worship these days (not the whine) and I'd like to include a pre-recorded section of someone else, say reading scripture. I do not have encoding software, as I am streaming directly from my webcam. How the f&*)@ do I do this??? I know it should be possible.

2 - my afternoons these days consist of calling congregants (not the whine). I often leave messages. I rarely get a call back. Well, today I did. By a livid member (who hasn't been at church in... a year?) who says I interrupt her naps in the afternoon with my phone calls (I think I've called twice so far this year), and that she's seriously considering never coming back to church because of my "frankly unwanted" phone calls. F*&^% you lady. But never the less, I'm still sitting here crying because I got yelled at for a) something that's not my fault and b) doing my job. I have other shit to deal with right now, I don't need some cranky old bat griping at me. Ug.

I'm going to go play Animal Crossing.

Simplest way to do this is probably to record the relevant "guest" with your phone, then play it back and hold it close to the mic during your stream.

Maybe record their presentation as part of a meeting between the two of you and then play the recording during the live stream. I don't mess with Zoom, but most meeting apps have a way to record.

Easiest way to record them would be to use OBS. It takes a little bit of setup, but it's probably the way with the least headache.

If you already have the recording (and you're using zoom to stream), you'll have to use Zoom's screen share function and play the file on your computer, and it will stream that way.
 
My aunt and uncle almost certainly have coronavirus. They're showing enough of the symptoms to the point that they're getting tested. They live out in New Jersey so I can't say it's suprising, but hopefully it doesn't get worse than the fevers they have. If they test positive they're the first people I know that have it.

Sorry for your aunt and uncle. :( But maybe not the first people you know.

Back at the beginning of this mess a few weeks ago, when i posted that I was sick what "what was almost certainly a cold", after about a week, I was so miserable, I actually considered going to the ER. I had fever, cough, fatigue, was having trouble breathing, and had pain in one of my lungs that I haven't felt since I had pleurisy in my 20's. I decided to give it one more day (2 days before my wife came back from out of town), and ended up being on the mend. I didn't have enough criteria to get tested back then, but I think it's entirely possible I had it then. I just didn't wanna drama queen about it here, since there was no way for me to get any kind of confirmation about it.

Fun fact, when I told the doctor of having problems breathing, he just told me losing weight would help. Like, hey, I don't know if you're aware of this but my fatness isn't a sudden onset condition. I'm very aware of how I breathe, and this is different.

I've written my first and last rent check. Turns out they don't process them until the first of the next month. So write a check for May on April 2, and it'll be sitting there for weeks while your bank balance dwindles away to nothing in the meantime. Cash or card for me from now on.
 
My GF works with people with (mental/emotional) disabilities - a risk group. Some of the people returned home rather than stay in their institution to avoid getting infected.
One of those came back yesterday with "a minor cough'.
Turns out her mother has a high fever, is coughing, trouble breathing, the whole shebang. And now the person who returned is coughing non-stop and has a fever, too.
So these people KNOWINGLY sent a person who probably has Corona BACK to a large health institute full of the most vulnerable people because they can't cope themselves. IDIOTS. IRRESPONSIBLE FUCKNUTS.
Ahem. These poor parents having trouble coping with their sick child, luckily there's a place to help them.

I talked with my landlord and got their information to pay them directly from my bank. I do a simple transfer on the 1st and it's done. I was where you were until I got that done.

My wife came back from a business trip to Jersey late January. She was sick. I got sick. As the person in the house who gets sick, but never as sick as anyone else, I was stuck on a couch and couldn't get up for a couple of days which is super unusual. We're wondering if we went through it then. A lot of the signs were there.
 
just filed my taxes, my accountant is on lock-down and my loan servicer demands updated returns by may first, well federal was accepted, but state is "pending review" I feel like im gonna puke >_> I tried to be as truthful as possible, but there was a part in state where they asked for ID info on my drivers license, I gave them the info for my temporary(same number but different issue and exp date) as im waiting on my new one. god please let it all work out.
 
The last few years spring has been miserable. We legit didn't start having good weather last year until the very end of June. It was horrible. Even the year before we didn't get nice weather until May.

Of course THIS is the year we've been getting 60 degree days in March...

Money order not work?
 
I typed up a good one. It wasn’t nice.

It also had more details than are likely appropriate to share.

Work owes me a massive amount of money and the stupidity involved is making me ragey.
