UPDATE update: coughing fits worsened. went to the hospital. got a chest x-ray, no sign of pneumonia. been put on antibiotics, so that's good at least. but now everything's pitched UP a few cents and tone quality is affected whereas it wasn't before, everything on my right has gone from being muffled to sounding like a shitty bitcrushed mp3 >:'D
been in zombie mode for what feels like eons but this is just the rotten egg icing on the sardine cake. at least it's not covid but it is swine flu which is Not Fun Either. everyone else in my family is on the mend
i hate being sick this is driving me nuts CHIRP CHIRP SQUAWK *peck* *peck* CHIRP SQUAWK CHIRP CHIRP *peck* *peck* peck* CHIRP SQUAWK
my family and i have been fighting a nasty bronchial infection for the past week and a half and today i woke up with an earache from sleeping on my side
AND NOW EVERYTHING IN MY RIGHT EAR SOUNDS A HALF-STEP LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE
i can't listen to music because it sounds exactly like this
like i'm bummed but it's also extremely funny
