I hope you get completely well soon Alley. Sending you hugs.

Joshua Gosdin

Thank you, Cole!

I've been catching up on your uploads and was a bit worried with your previous post. It's good to hear you're feeling better! But pls pls repeat the test even if it's negative if you can. If you had omicron apparently it shows up better via throat than nose testing but either way don't rush anything. I know you must be impatient to get back to normalcy but your health is more important! First be ok, make sure your loved ones are ok and safe, then come back here.

Take your time, I've been quite content watching "re-runs"

Quantoto

Don't worry about us, just focus on getting better.

I don't think you should put yourself through any sort of stress over these videos. If you actually feel like watching the episodes and making the videos, then sure, why not. But if it is a source of stress then I hope you just take it easy and get to it whenever you feel like it. You don't have to plug away making extra videos to make up for your hiatus. You have a very good reason for the hiatus and your audience should be understanding.

Or Bring it On, starring Faith and Glory!

Alley - you don't need a box cutter, just use the scissors as a cutter (instead of using them like scissors, open them wide and hold them so that you're using one of the blades as a cutter) - I feel silly saying this, but it doesn't look like that's crossed your mind 😅 You keep using them to cut instead of to slice, it's driving me mad lol

Ashtara Levin

Alley dear, I can only speak for myself, but all I care about is that you feel better, please don't feel pressured to go on a viewing marathon to make up for the past week - your health is more important

Denni Caid

EEEEE Dollhouse! I'm psyched, definitely sticking around for that.

Olive Davis

I'm really happy you're getting better! I hope you continue to do so :) Also, maybe you could watch the movie after finishing Buffy S5/Angel S2?

Saint Mercy

So glad you are feeling better! I tested positive yesterday...and already feel better than i did . Here's to a speedy recovery for the both of us

Jordan H

I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm glad you're excited to return! Don't be scared to take your time though :)

Lee Wilcock

Thank you Cole.

G A

Glad you're feeling better! I had some lasting tiredness for a few weeks. Best wishes to your parents. You may need a storage unit for all your boxings by the time you end the Buffyverse. If you need a Buffyverse fix to pass the time you could check out Cruel Intentions (SMG) or the American Pies (Alyson Hannigan ) if you haven't already. Or my go to movies to pass time and amuse me are My Cousin Vinny and Clueless from the 90s they always always puts me in a good mood ,since you still can't go home, maybe you need that.

Veronika

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better! <3 and thank you, Cole ;)

Matthew Garrison-Perkins

Will do, and just watched the unboxing...."You're gonna need a bigger boat......."

Madelyn Smythia

I'm very happy that you are doing better!

Mary Kate

Oh for sure! Having older parents with comorbidities during this whole thing has been a nightmare. Wishing you continued recovery, and your parents continued health

Quintus Carlisle

I am glad you are feeling better.

Alley Box

im going to keep testing for a few days and if my symptoms are gone, i will discuss it with my parents. bc they have even said that after a week, they feel i should be safe. just a negative test result would make me feel extra safe haha 😅

John Sturchio

I'm in NYC, not sure if you have access to home test kits in Florida because every state is different but I highly recommend.

John Sturchio

I used the home rapid test kits- tested positive 3 days ago, slightly positive yesterday and completely negative today.

John Sturchio

If you want to get tested, do rapid tests- PCR tests are unreliable after infection because they turn up positive weeks/months after the fact.

John Sturchio

Yeah after infection you can have false positive tests for months

Claire Eyles

So relieved to hear you're okay and feeling better. <3

Mary Kate

So glad you're feeling better! Heads up, I know a few people who continued testing positive months after their symptoms had gone away, including my mother-in-law, who was never symptomatic. For some people. the test will keep coming up positive even if they're no longer contagious. Totally get your desire to keep quarantining and it's definitely the right thing to do, but if you test positive in another week or so, maybe check with a doctor to see if you're still contagious or not? Just a suggestion!

Alley Box

yup.. my mother has an autoimmune disease and this past month was quite stressful for all of u :( hope you also stay safe during all of this!

Paul Komoroski

Glad you're feeling better! <3

Veronica Pearson

Thank you, Cole! Glad you're feeling better.

Matthew Garrison-Perkins

Thank you, Cole. And glad you are feeling better, the day you posted you had the virus, my social media feeds went crazy with others including many in my small personal circle, that also tested positive. Worrisome times for those of us who have autoimmune disorders...
