My COVID journey.

Thought I’d share with you my experiences of having COVID (received a positive test result today).

Please note - my symptoms are currently mild but that does NOT in any way represent the virus as a whole. It is deadly and all should take precautions.

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

Oh. What have you done?

Brain: What are words?

Spending my Halloween being stabbed, my blood taken, and eating plenty of chocolate.

@SupernovaMomma My 21 year old brother defended his wearing of shorts on a cold, October day - “it’s my day off. I wear trousers at work. Shorts at home. It helps me keep them defined.”

I’m already tired tomorrow

Not me crying on a Sunday afternoon over this round little robin and it’s fan art

[Moniza Hossain @moniza_hossain]

This robin I saw today was so perfectly spherical it made me emotional. She looks like a painting. You can see her brushstrokes

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@moniza_hossain I told my mum your comment and her eyes just went HUGE - “gotta catch them AAAAALL”

(Weirdly there’s no good Pokémon gifs for that??)

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@moniza_hossain Yes! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but that’s exactly what it is

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@moniza_hossain Nice! I recommend it to soooo many people 😂

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@moniza_hossain Have you seen the app ‘Seek’? I’m obsessed with it. I use it to identify all the different flora and fauna I come across. It’s better with plants than animals, but it’s fab

I want to go on a bookshop road trip. A week of travelling to different indies and staying in cute b&bs, so we can read by the fire in the evening whilst sipping wine. Anyone wanna come?

Overheard a woman in a coffee shop: “…and I told him - I might be a queen, but you’re not king material. I don’t want to marry you.”

I love her.

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@NotAnyUse I did the thing where you read too fast and it jumbles the lines together.

So for a second there I thought you wrote “fight a cactus”

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

Seeing posts about it being ace visibility week (woo! 🖤) and asking who writes ace characters.

I think all my main characters might be ace? I don’t think I know how to write them any other way 🤣

Yes. This goes double when I'm ill 🥹🥹🥹

@lindzmcleod @sewistwrites have you seen this?

[Charli @CharliEmAlO]

@christheowl My mum wears a puffy gilet, though she’s got a proper coat for when it gets too cold or rainy. She wears the gilet around the house, too
