Bleh, again. Also, dongles
Jan. 15th, 2022 04:00 amSo, my arm has mostly stopped hurting, though my body would be to differ. Unfortunately, the biggest issue I was dreading kinda happened, and I don't know if it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, or an actual effect of the vaccine on me. My nerves and anxiety have been cranked up enough that I keep having auditory hallucinations, much like when I have more than a tiny amount of caffeine from something like chocolate. Even half a can of something like black or green tea will drive me up the wall.
Admittedly, recent problems with Firefox on my gaming rig didn't help, and not actually getting downtime after being vaccinated made things much worse. I haven't really had the chance to stop and relax, even when I thought I'd have the ability to do so, just because I'm the only one who seems to know how to do proper grocery shopping, or how to properly do the laundry.
I have some herbal tea brewing next to me while I write this, and I hope it helps. I know I'm not sleeping tonight, but if nothing else, I can get some sleep after the sun's up. It's going to be too cold for me to go anywhere in my state.

In other news, I ordered a couple of dongles for my MacBook. It uses mini-DVI instead of a more common standard, so I ended up getting a VGA adapter, and an HDMI adapter. Why HDMI? Because while I was at Wal-Mart recently, I ended up getting a cheap $20 HDMI capture card for my gaming rig. That means I can stream or record with my MacBook from the gaming rig, which includes potential writing streams. Whether or not I'll have the chance to do so is another matter, but recording things might become something I do. Plus, I have games on other systems that I can stream as well, such as my Windows XP gaming laptop.
