Ouch

A 8-post collection

Tuesday, SHENANIGANS!

Today is a fifty-steps-to-make-coffee day.

I did not rise from my bed before seven. I've been having emotional difficulty commencing my day by rising from my bed. Short version: Depression and Anxiety have synergised into making that my daily problem.

My steak, which I put in the fridge to thaw, had been shoved into a back area where it would remain partially frozen. Thus, I had to dawdle getting the rest of my breakfast and, long story short, It was HALF PAST TEN before I could sit and commence anything related to work on my compy.

And my browsers have been forgetting windows and tabs, lately. No I do not know what is up with that and capturing my grand fixer-uperers is a trial and a half. I want nothing more than to chase the endorphins all day but I also have responsibilities. Said with an ominous echo.

I have a fucking Clayton's Asthma Attack that is bordering on Frog Soup Bad.

And I'm blaming Chapter 13 for this at the moment. Everything went pants after I finished it and made it available to my beta reader. In my life, in my ability to can... it's a whole thing and you'll be hearing about it on my Weird Writer Wednesday tomorrow. If I don't derp and publish it early again.

My left ankle hates me. My right knee hates me. My lower back hates me. My lungs are trying to go on strike. Yet I persist anyway, fuck you.

I have a thing to write for today, a thing to write for the Promptcast's newsletter, 2K words to put in my entry for the Promptcast, but at least I have Weird Writer Wednesday sewn up. Huzzah.

Let's get shit done so I can go back to fucking bed.

Friday, Bad Air Day

We lost at Trivia Night. Whoops. Next week, we're calling ourselves the Bad Ass Losers. Might as well lean into it.

I'm dealing with some asthma shenanigans and a Cyclone Headache. I have no idea on what my lovelies are doing besides cleaning up their old base in Brizvegas, and I might be spending a majority of today horizontal in a dark room because MY FACE HURTS.

Yes, I have taken painkillers. I am waiting for them to kick in.

Friday, Day 0, Ow

Plague news: SIX new cases, all imports. Thirty-one total active cases and seventeen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 81% first vax, 59% fully vaxxed. Queensland is holding steady at 50% fully vaxxed. Miss Chaos gets her second jab next week.

Today, I have PLNs to do some home maintenance, but I also kinked my shoulders during my stream this morning so IDK how far I'll get with that.

I am being kind to myself as I can sense the smoulder

Ow... Ow... Ow... Ffffuuuuu...

I have a cyclone headache, and I can't use ibuprofen to defeat it because use of that increases my risk of catching The Plague.

Paracetamol does nothing, alas. I need the combo of paracetamol and ibuprofen to kill this cyclone headache of mine. Boo.

The sun's come up, and my alarm's gone off, so I need to feed the cats, feed my sourdough starters, and clean out the litterbox in the catio.

Ow

I have enjoyed myself overmuch, it seems. A little bit too much xylitol, a little too much fun. A definite lack of sleep... Life's a little bit complicated, today, as a direct result.

Yup. Hardy perennial digestive issues versus hardy perennial sleep issues. Stir in a thoroughly enjoyable drawing stream in the literal middle of the night by Toasty, and you have a recipe for a wrecked 'Nutter.

I'm doing my best to keep the content flowing, even though other things want

Oof...

I did three and a half hours of cleaning, yesterday. The other half hour was spent fetching Mayhem from school. My back hurts, I'm tired (but can't sleep. Such fun) and the house looks amazing.

I also have a case of the gut bugs from somewhere. And I haven't done that much different from my regular routine. Which means either (a) mild food poisoning, or (b) I managed to pick up something from the local shops that I never wanted.

Either way,

Post-Yule fallout

Boxing day. A day when the fridge is full of leftovers and the house is full of wrapping paper. Today is going to be pretty much an all-day snack and I know it.

Thanks to Pizza on Christmas Eve, and the feast yesterday, I'm back up over my 95-Kilo celebration border. So I will be attempting [underline attempting] to keep my sweet tooth in check.

It's not going well. Today's breakfast includes four jelly lollies and a snowball [that's a chocolate-covered marshmallow
