I've been catching myself making pained frowny faces the last few months and I think I just need to suck it up and start taking more cannabis during the day.
Switching to edibles has made me much more aware of the cost and I've been avoiding taking as much as I did when I vaped.

Took 20min to clean the shower earlier then crashed horribly and slept for 3hrs. Instant post-exertional malaise is normal for me, but even with so little activity, I can't predict if it'll last only a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks.

The nosepiece on my computer glasses snapped 💔 I'll start getting constant migraines if I stop wearing them, regardless of my monitor settings. So I got a cheap pair of blue blockers for now and I'll see if an optometrist can fix them at some point.

I've always hand-washed dishes and considered dishwashers a luxury I couldn't afford.
Now that I have one, I still prefer to hand-wash, but mostly because we don't usually make enough dishes in a day to warrant using it.
But I gotta say it's super handy when I don't feel well!

Today has been one of the worst long covid days I've had in a while. I'm breathless just getting up to shuffle around the apartment. Rinsed a few dishes just now and had to stop to take a breather mid way.
I did manage to have a shower earlier though so that's a win 🎉

Our apartment building had a little pizza dinner get-together in the co-working lounge and I would've loved to have stayed to meet everyone but the cacophony of chatter was overwhelming. My voice doesn't carry well, and it was super hard to understand anyone speaking. 😮💨

Sitting at work swimming through the thick mud of brain fog, my entire body's on fire, my mind can only scream and all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry, but knowing I'm socially expected to just carry on as if I were healthy because my illnesses are chronic 🫠

Two days later and I'm still extra stiff, sore, and fatigued. But I'm no longer stooped and slowly shuffling around, so I think I'll be good to work Tuesday as usual. Not the best reaction this year, but not the worst, either.
Had nervous sweats all day but I'm done with my spooky shots for another year.
I'm not great with needles to begin with but I think at this point in my life the most upsetting thing is never knowing exactly how severe the pain/fatigue flare will be.

With #Sinners back in theaters today, thought I'd reshare the article I wrote about the Choctaw Vampire Hunters and why that moment didn't NEED to be centered more even tho we would all love to see more of their story.

Sinners Gives Us Vampires, Music, and a Moment of Indigenous Power We Can’t Ignore
Set in 1932 Mississippi, Sinners is a haunting, atmospheric tale rooted in the music, spirituality, kinship, and resilience of Black Southern communities. But Coogler threads a deeper, more violent cu...

The average sleep quality score on my Samsung Health app has been the highest ever this week - I started tracking about 3yrs ago. So the new bed is clearly doing its job.
Despite this, I've been seriously struggling with low energy. That's chronic illness for you though

Love love love when I discover a singular zit in the morning, slap a pimple patch on it, and then discover 5 more that decided to crop up by day's end 🙃

IT IS DONE!
It's a hilariously huge king size bed in a teeny tiny bedroom but we have so much more room to sleep now so I don't care. My restless legs are finally free to flail without disturbing my SO.
Wondering how long before the cats destroy the fabric on the frame lol

Got a nice funky bed frame, and it's missing the instructions 🤦♀️ we couldn't find anything online so we reached out to the manufacturer. Hopefully they'll just send us a pdf in a couple days.
We got an Endy to go with it, so I guess floor mattress it is for now lol

Shoutout to the UPS delivery guy for bringing a 115lb package directly into my apartment 🥰
I've had consistently shitty experiences with UPS deliveries in the past, spanning decades and cities, so it's pretty fucking amazing to finally have a positive experience.

I know the reviews for Wayward haven't been the greatest, and I'm no critic, but I thought Mae Martin's work was perfectly executed. It's been several days since I finished it and I'm still thinking about it.

Over the last few months I compiled a list on my phone notepad of reasons my SO and I left our last home. It's nearly 7 pages long.
In under 7mo our lives were upended, privacy and dignity trod upon, our family's safety disregarded, under the guise of a friend's helping hand.

Played Powerwash Sim 2 demo and I'm sad I had to set all the graphics to low/none.
I just wanna wash stuff so I don't need it to be super high def to be enjoyable, but my computer's only 2.5yrs old - I mean, really? I don't get paid enough to upgrade my shit every year 😫

The last 2 days I've been hit with some awful brain fog. I give myself a lot of leeway with my work anyway but this took my productivity down to nearly nil. Not sure if it's because of the weather or perimenopause, but it's been pretty rough 😮💨 Horrible muscle fatigue too.
