a general sense of things
1) concussion seems to not be a thing. Current theory is since the action was so similar, there was a automatic-body-reaction related to the previous trauma, but other than a bit of headachey-ness (that seems unrelated to anything), I'm feeling mostly fine.
I have been doing a poor job of keeping up with various communication methods. I'm behind *everywhere*, due to a combination of trying to minimize computer time, feeling very overwhelmed, having no energy to write replies, having no energy to even open messages & read them, and having way too fucking many communication platforms.... so good thing DW is now A Thing or whatever, cuz *that's* helpful. (that's sarcasm; this is not helpful :-P but I think it will be better.)
2) My current feeling is that the main reason to stop using LJ is to stand in solidarity with the queer folks and political activists being targeted.
However, I'm currently reluctant to cut off a communication avenue, even though I'm really overwhelmed, because there are still folks there that aren't likely to migrate over here, and I don't want to lose that connection.
3) I'm still spending a majority of my energy on daily tasks like follow-up calls to doctors offices and dealing with things like cleaning up the house (at all) or having downtime where I read a book I enjoy or watch a silly TV show, or relax & listen to an audiobook. I've been cooking a lot more lately.
4) There are some updates to my recent locked posts, which mostly involve finalizing The Decision that I hinted at there. I have a sense of what I need, now, and am very glad I took a month to give myself space to feel clearer about that. Now, I need to figure out how to make that happen, and I have a plan about who best to communicate with. However, that involves writing emails and lately, I have been Really Bad at writing emails. But I am still doing a good job of taking care of me.
There have been a lot of fun things scheduled for this week, which has definitely slowed me down, on top of all the Mink-maintenance things.
There's definitely more I could write about, but I think I'm going to aim for writing more often but shorter amounts. We'll see how that goes. :-)
