It feels like the tiny organism-in-progress is flailing around again.

Methinks growing this tiny organism is changing my sense of flavor, because I cannot get enough of lime water or even just plain ‘ole water. And ham? Omg. Way too tasty. Ditto with the atomic spicy pickles.

I don’t know how to articulate how I’ve been feeling lately. And by lately, I guess I really mean the past few years (or more).
I’m realizing this depressing feeling goes way beyond the layoff a little over a year ago; that was just a catalyst for the existential exhaustion to break through the […]

Dear retailers, I know your URL, as evidenced by my recent purchase. I don't need 3 daily emails to remind me of your existence.

Had a dream last night about chocolate brownies, and now this morning I’m craving for some.

When does the fatigue go away? It feels different from the usual fatigue I deal with (this is both brain *and* body). I might as well be a cat at this point. Then again, things could be worse; at least I’m not dealing with morning sickness. 🙃

Everything feels blegh today and I keep crying for no apparent reason. So I’m just going to cuddle with the cat for a bit and think about how prunes are basically like giant raisins.

Technically, I can have 2 cups worth of coffee each day. I’d been trying to avoid caffeine intake completely, but today I’m giving into *1 cup*.
I’m 75% of the way through the cup and I don’t want it to end. I want to savor this last portion of it. Then maybe I’ll go for a second cup? Hmm.

Brushed my teeth before bed, and now I’m craving peppermints.

Bleh, everything smells too strong and it’s giving me a headache.

I’m trying to minimize caffeine intake for reasons, and it’s going about as well as one could imagine. It doesn’t help that the non-caffeinated herbal tea I decided to sip on, called “Prickly Pear”, apparently has chamomile in it. 🥲

Hot water heater shit the bed. Booooo. However, it was 23 years and 1 month old though. Quite a long run!

Good news: I’ve got antibiotics and prednisone to kick this ear/sinus infection out of orbit (hopefully). I’ve also got yogurt to help refresh the good bacteria.
Bad news: I’m probably getting a lot of steps in via becoming best friends with the bathroom. My ear also still makes me toss and turn.

If I had $5 for each ear infection I’ve had over the past 2 years, I’d have $15. Aaaaaaaand I think I’ve another one right now. 🙃

Oh noes, why am I just barely discovering BrickOwl.
I meant to play in my Drupal local chaos sandbox to tinker with the charts text filter module, but I guess I’m going to spend the rest of the day looking for hair/heads/outfits/accessories for the Natalie and John minifigs instead. Oops. 😆 […]

Listen up, @pantheon.io: if you still host the websites of Heritage Foundation & their cursèd Project 2025 cuz of contractual BS, the least you can do is donate *100% of Heritage Foundation payments* to organizations that are working to protect communities targeted by Project 2025. And publicize it.
