Gym: I managed! The run! With the magic of New Trainers and porridge for breakfast and a good night's sleep and BOILING HATRED! And then! TWICE! I failed to complete the requisite sets! And my entire workout was a disordered mess! But at least some of it GOT DONE. And I dragged myself through more rowing and more cross-trainering and at least, AT ( Read more... )

SaturdayI achieved my first non-stop 20 minute run. Possibly in my entire life. Also worked on hanging leg raises, which are definitely a thing I can do but a thing that my body hates me for doing, especially my stomach, which is good because it means that bit may even be induced to sprout a muscle ( Read more... )

Plan: I will go into town, it will be nice, I will buy Vaseline and Setsubun stuff and popcorn and rose dye for my hair and I will type up my writing and have a wander around ( Read more... )

Today: intended to do things, post-gym. Instead accidentally went to sleep for an hour and a half. Not consistently; I kept getting up and then being too tired and going back to bed.

Book continues to happen. Actually wait, no. As on Twitter:

Current status: writing one book, trying to edit another (not ... actually managing that) unintentionally brainstorming a third

I keep "meaning" to C&P edit notes from my draft into word comments (not even editing) and I keep NOT DOING THAT. The third is going well though; marika_kailaya has pointed ( Read more... )

At the annoying stage of ill where I have no idea what it is that I have yet or what the symptoms are going to be (probably snot hell but so far I can still exist without mucus drowning so it's biding its fucking time), only that I am permanently physically tired and operating on 1/6th of standard brain capacity, which is great when I have just ( Read more... )

Yesterday after I clambered out of the therapy hole ("Normally when someone dies you grieve them." / "Well throwing all your feelings in a bin makes that impossible." / "What have you thrown away that you wanted to keep?" / "Joy, friendliness, the ability to experience emotions without feeling like I'm Trying To Have That Feeling Because I'm ( Read more... )
