look at him. the most indestructible little weirdo who decided to charge a raccoon and came out practically unscathed. I had to get stabbed with needles six times, so he got a rabies booster stab too even though he probably didn't need it.

ever since I got covid in 2022 I have a bout of coughing after eating more often than not. fortunately that's the only notable long-term thing I got.
(I do suspect I already had mild MCAS and it may have been slightly exacerbated, which may actually be causing the post-food cough.)

side effects of putting on your favorite jeans and your nice boots and a comfy flannel shirt and leaving the house for the evening include: actually doing your skincare; putting on music for dancing around doing some tidying and organizing before bed; sore feet from those boots (can't win 'em all)

if they're not going to patch out migraines, they could at least remove the increased chance to get one during menstruation, that's just unfair

I was my partner's and his mom's ride to and from the no kings event, and I went to do some shopping in the interim. We just got home, and it's about the time I'd normally be getting out of bed or maybe drinking my "morning" coffee.

I might think it's a great idea to put on my playlist of favorite songs to dance to when I need energizing to get some work done, but it's hard to edit these boring-ass articles when I'm dancing in my seat.

turns out that eating nothing but cookies and goldfish crackers and cereal for three days and fucking up your sleep schedule and therefore your meds schedule by playing too much stardew valley is bad?

I stayed up too late playing Stardew Valley last night. Hadn't played in a while, since before the last big update, so it's been great to revisit everything and discover the new stuff too.

I think it's fine to put out a mid album or make an okay TV show or a 3/5 movie. Not everything can be the next big thing, nor should it be.

menstrual cramps are bullshit. mine aren't even that bad but still. I've gotta deal with all this rogue blood that won't stay in my body every month, why does it also have to be painful?
