Proof of improvement; I'm annoyed that I can't wash dishes at present, because for a month or so there I could. And it was awesome. Now, even though I'm not back to that level yet, I started laundry today and will finish it tomorrow. Stairs are a thing that can happen now and again ( Read more... )

First post I write this year turns out to be this: Damn, a family breaking apart is messy and loud. It's been happening across the street today, mostly outside, lots of yelling and crying. Both daughters in tears, mother not so good herself, I don't care much about the man at present because he just tried to make his daughter pick between ( Read more... )

Currently (as in at this moment) I am feeling somewhat accepting of my relative lack of spoons. Of course, at the moment I can walk a little bit and I'm not in noticeable pain, so that makes it easier. When I'm so tired I can barely walk and my arms ache too much to write or draw, so that literally the only things I can do are watch movies ( ( Read more... )

I continue to be a white Western twit. Dammit, I have worked so damn hard to STOP reproducing the problematic parts of this culture every time I open my mouth or set stylus to tablet, but it just keeps sneaking up behind my back! So I looked at one of the races of people in my novel yesterday and realized: Yup, I did it again. Check it out, ( Read more... )

Crushed my pinky finger in a doorjamb a week or two ago and apparently did something to the nerves there, because all down the inside edge of that finger is still half-numb. Very weird. Feels so straaaange! Gah. At least the bruising is gone now ( Read more... )

I spend my days mostly in bed. After the first 12 months, this gets boring, so I need things to do. You, dear intarwebs, have videos to watch (some of them entertaining) and funny websites to read to raise the spirits. In theory. However, that whole "funny" thing really works best for me if there is an ABSENCE of sexist, weight-ist and racist ( Read more... )

I dreamt not a movie last night, but a whole damn series. The story just kept going. It was cool, if angsty at times ( Read more... )

Okay, so I most likely do not have Lymes, but we have no idea why then I become fatigued for a month and a half once a year. We have looked at all the likely possibilities, it seems, and none of them have panned out ( Read more... )

In the past two weeks I have stayed up till the small hours of the morning twice, which reminds me that I'm no longer in college. I used be able to do that with impunity ( Read more... )

My sister and mom got me over to my parents' house last night to watch "Juno" with Mom, Goose, and Dad, and wow. I don't really watch movies these days unless they're anime or something to do with fan/geekishness (LotR, Serenity, Batman, Harry Potter), because I'm so sick and tired of the Hollywood routine: Pretty people, clever dialogue, ( Read more... )
