Love to have an insurance snafu in the US right before getting a simple scan that costs 550+ dollars uninsured for no reason
I just got here and im so tired, fingers crossed the news is at least neutral or i might just start crying on the spot and not stop
this is lovely, just knowing yall exist uplifts me tbh
recovering from the past week (thought i was handing it well, my neck and shoulders have decided to call me a liar on that). being forced to slow down and minimize being around things that stress me out has helped me figure out the things that i want to do
Summary
that actually…make me wanna live (which is something that popped up when i was reading how to tell when we’ll die: on pain, disability, and doom by johanna hedva which im 15% of the way in and have made peace its gonna take me like three years to finish) and im trying to hold on to that.
i wrote down thirty things to do during the bunkering period (im not trying to do no flashy nothing til january MAYBE) and it makes me feel like i can handle things a little better and show up for myself and others in a way that doesn’t drain me.
i hope youre all doing well!
That book sounds like a cool and timely read, though I imagine it will be Tough to work through. Godspeed on your three year odyssey.
One of our dogs had been doing badly for a while now and today he was put down
it sucks but it’s probably better than letting him keep suffering
working a 10 hour shift bc one of my coworkers didn’t check her schedule and didn’t realize she worked today :)
Was in a funk for the past few days but I feel like I’m beginning to get out of it. I had a labs check-up with my endocrinologist and the big thing she pointed out is that I was incredibly low on vitamin D which could honestly explain a lot about my mood swings (and is a common problem for dark-skinned people in the PNW).
Nonetheless, I am doing some game dev work on Quoll, my main project, because a game jam team didn’t materialize for me to join. (Oh well!)
yesterday i worked a 10 hour shift. today i am comming a pic of my furbsona smoking the bong from the movie Evil Bong. this week is a land of contrasts
I caught an eye infection earlier this week, and well, the medication I got for it tuesday seems to be kicking its ass hardcore. The eye seems to be at 99% capacity now. before I’d say it was at like, 70%. Vision was super blurry from it because I kept tearing up.
Taking the meds is getting easier too. First two doses of the eye drop, it caused severe irritation for 20+ minutes. Now? It’s more like just getting some water in my eye.
kicking my RSD into a pit
I was going to add some other stuff to this but honestly seeing Chimmy’s post is reminding me that I have also been told I am vitamin D deficient and I have been forgetting to take it I should get back on that, esp since the time change/earlier sunset probably doesn’t help
Yeahh the seasonal change has been hitting kind of hard. Our apartment has like zero ceiling lights which means our common area is severely underlit. We only bought the one lamp when we moved in and now with the sunlight going away the dimness is starting to really affect quality of life. Which feels like such a dumb way to put it but like, it’s true. Brain like well-lit space.
I so desperately need a dehumidifier, the condo gets so damp when we can’t open windows. We’re getting mold on the windows again and I’m tired of cleaning it.
Mostly just had an easy day catching up on sleep and picking up prescriptions. Painted my nails for the concert tomorrow and I’m going to give it a bit to dry and then go hang out with friends.
I got vaxxed yesterday and went to bed without pain meds, because I thought I felt pretty fine. “Nuh-uh”, said my body in the wee hours of the morning, suddenly feeling feverish and interrupting my sleep cycle, thus dampening my mood for the rest of the day.
5 minutes to show time and I’m worried I’ll cry a little by the stories and poems between songs
E: first show over and it went well!
Cut my hair and I love it, I think this might be one of my favorite things I’ve done with it and, of course, the really nice part started off as an accident
waiting at the bmv with my gf to renew my id bc it expires in like 3 days LOL
This is why everyone keeps saying they’re silas you gotta do it earlier next time
I used one of these when we’d go to Egypt. Kinda goated software tbh
