Ulog #1 - Being sick sucks
Hi everyone,
This is my first attempt at a #ulog, so I hope I'm doing this right. I would prefer to do it on video, but unfortunately I'm stuck with a nasty cough at the moment and feel like I may cough up a lung while talking. Can you imagine? Sounds gross.
So from what I understood, ULOGS are supposed to be about our thoughts during our day, our feelings, or whatever comes to our mind. Today I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I thought I would have my energy back to go spar at the gym, but earlier I got all gassed out from just walking up the stairs. I've been sick for the past week. Not bed-ridden, but somewhere in between "I feel like I'm drying" and "I'm OK, I think I'm feeling better". Every night when I thought I would feel better, I woke up feeling like shit again the next day. Now I'm having this dry and painful cough, which is a nightmare. That's what lung cancer must feel like. I'm happy I don't smoke cigis anymore...although I do indulge every once in a while with a glass of wine when I'm in a social setting.
So yesterday was my 8th wedding anniversary! Can you believe that we both only remembered it when we went to bed at night? And just because I happened to stumble upon a friend's post on Instagram who got married on the same day. As I was typing the word "congrats", it hit me!
I thought FAAAAK! Who forgets their wedding anniversary??? I guess insanely busy people with 100 things on their mind LOL.
That doesn't mean that I won't celebrate it (it's only one day late, who cares!). I put this picture here as a token of my appreciation. I love this man! 8 years later, not much has changed.
So what else is new?
My colleague quit not long ago, and another colleague is moving to the UK. This means more work, but luckily for me I have an awesome sister in law (@livepresentlee) who I'm training at the moment. It's a breath of fresh air to work with her. Not only does she learn fast, she's family and there's nothing better than family to work with!
And finally, something that really disturbed me today, was when a colleague of mine told me that her dog had died. He got beaten to death because he was barking too much at night. He didn't die right away, but must have succumbed to internal injuries, and it lasted an entire day until he passed away. I can't understand how humans can be so cruel to animals. The other day I saw a video (without wanting to see it) about some guy who lit a dog on fire, just for fun. Sometimes I think we are parasites on this planet, and the world would be so much better off without us. But then there's this awesome vegan community who restores my faith in humanity, and I hope this group grows exponentially. I truly enjoyed watching @ura-soul's rant today about people who think that vegans push their beliefs on them. You can watch it here
That's it for today.
I really hope you don't consider this a shit post. It doesn't have much structure, but then again, thoughts during the day aren't structured either. They just come and go.
I'm sorry to hear about your cough! Get better soon!
Happy anniversary! Honestly, you're still good when you forget it. Can you imagine that we don't even know the date?! It's either 20th or 21st of August :D Who cares. My mom in law tells us every year so we're safe and we can forget for another year again :D
I get so angry when I hear such stories about animals. I can't understand how people, 'the most intelligent' creatures on earth can behave like this. I feel responsible for such actions and it makes me so sad.
Anyway, let's believe in vegan movement and better world :)
Thank you for sharing your first ulog. I have enjoyed reading it!
ahahaha thank you @delishtreats =) you made me laugh with your mother in law! Glad I'm not the only one forgetting the date LOL. And I'm glad my first ulog wasn't a total fail lol
She is very good with dates! She even reminds us about birthdays in the family so that we don't forget them. Very cute :)
Have a good evening!
Very good - I feel it is healthy to bond by expressing feelings. I actually have a similar cough today which has built up over the last few days. I was diving deeply into my sub conscious while hot earlier and found some old thoughts stuck in my belly area (emotional field) and they said that I mustn't express my feelings in response to people and events in order to 'stay safe'. I know now that this is totally the opposite of what is needed, so I forgave myself for hold them for so long and released them consciously. Within about 2 minutes I felt about 50% better ;)
oh I totally agree, it's better to let it out right away. I have a tendency to do the opposite (I explode right away), and should learn to take a few breaths before I react lol
Feel better pretty lady 😘
Happy Anniv to you and your hubby
Sorry for your friend's loss
I am lousy at forcing others to be vegans, hence am the only vegan in the house 😁
thank you @thekitchenfairy!! wow that must be hard being the only one?
I am happy Eve that you have done your first Ulog. Not happy that you are sick though :(
We also have a condenser for Ulogs it is ulogs.org and is from a fork of busy,org.

thanks Mav! I will try it out for the next one =)
Sometimes I feel embarrassed to call myself a human! What is wrong with people? But then I meet people like you and others on steemit and other places, and I feel relief, because I know there are good humans out there.
The last two winters here, my family and I have had influenza A, and I now know how people can die from the flu. It was the worst thing i've ever had in my life, and the scary thing is there is really nothing the doctors can do for you. My doc who is into natural medicine, gave me tamiflu which did absolutely nothing. The only thing that helped me was mass amounts of vitamin C. Hope you feel better soon!
thanks @white.tiger! I'm better alreadystill caughing but at least I'm getting my energy back =) Lots of citric juices packed with vitamin C helped for sure!
Happy anniversary to both of you!
Forgetting the date isn't a big deal as long as you know that you still love and support each other every single day! :)
I just joined the vegan discord channel, I'm not vegan but vegetarian and I'm sick of seeing people who are abusing animals! These people should be in their place and the animal should do the same to them!
It makes me angry to see that some humans think that they could do whatever they want with animal, refugees, war etc... and feel good about it!
I'm so glad you joined the vegan group @mvd, there are other vegetarians in the group as well! Yes, I agree about the animal abuse, that's what made me give up meat...
We'll make that video this week, I promise!!! I'm going to try and record today!
I don't know if I could get vegan but being vegetarian feels so good!
No worries! Just do it when you're feeling better! :)
