Black widow bite medicine for the night: distraction games and a whole lot of the devil's cabbage. It's not helping with the pain, but I'm blessed stressed about the pain.

Black widow bite medicine for the night: distraction games and a whole lot of the devil's cabbage. It's not helping with the pain, but I'm blessed stressed about the pain.
Apparently, pain from these bites peaks at about 12 hours. I am only about 5 hours in. Someone please come get rid of this whole leg for me 😭😭😭
I made it two days into the year without a weird goddamn emergency.
Black widow spider bites HURT. (I'm fine, I'm dealing, but ouch.)

One of the biggest business building hurdles for indie editors: getting past initial communication to actually securing clients. Lots of ghosting happens here but shouldnt.

Hubs on the phone with his dad: No, you dont want to talk to Charlie about this... Because they're kind but not nice... It means they'll give you a kidney if you need it, but they'll also punch you in the face if you piss them off.
He really knows me. 😍

Our options for homeownership at this point:
1. A $300k GoFundMe that actually gets funded.
2. Win a significant lottery.
We could maybe save a tiny bit more money if we moved into a cheaper rental, but repeatedly moving The Kid temporarily is causing him real, lasting trauma.
There is no future.

Just sent a response in DMs on my phone to a client, wanted to show my excitement and said, "YASSSS!"
Except. Ya know. I forgot the y.
And sent it like that.

In case you were wondering how this turned out, I'll be crying in the shower for the rest of the night.
I think we're gonna get a final answer from this housing organization this week. I have no idea which way it's gonna go based on everything thus far. I'm...terrified.

The bad news is my Patreon membership dropped low enough that I had to stop refilling some of my meds.
The good news is that I now know exactly what those meds were doing for me and that they worked quite well.
Not upset at all at those patrons! Life is terrible. Very upset with my body, though!

We're having brisket and latkes for dinner, and that's my favorite thing about an interfaith family.

Okay #WritingCommunity, what is a gift you give to yourself in your writing? What tropes or details or motifs do you use simply because you love them?
I love the tiny badass woman trope. I include the trope all the time.
I also love roses, and include them frequently as symbols and motifs.

Book reviews are my favorite addition to my Patreon this year, and that's especially true when I get to review incredible self-pubbed books. RANGER is absolutely worth the read, a beautiful and action-packed Sapphic fantasy novel...but be ready to ugly cry.

Reading an audiobook while taking a walk in my wheelchair. Go ahead, tell me how I can and can't refer to my own access to the world. Confess that you're pedantic to cover up your ableism. I dare you.

2025 was so hard.
I lost my soul dog, Monster, and then our Baby Bear 3 months later. A campaign was started to try and ruin me, defaming me anonymously. We've been teetering on the edge of collapse bc of housing costs, and my treatment has been inconsistent.
But 2025 also had its moments...

Today, me and The Kid brainstormed his graphic novel, played DnD, and curled up on the couch to take a nap. I think making my teenager like me still is the closest I'm gonna get to magical powers.
