A Loving Reminder That If You Are So Disabled That You Cannot Work, And Especially If You Are Getting

I say this with love: trying to communicate effectively with Neurotypicals is so strange.

Asked the pharmacist a question about lozenges for a sore throat and while I was (paraphrased) asking "Can I take more than 1 lozenge because sometimes the first one doesn't coat the spot that's a little bit sore (read: kinda scratchy and a little bit irritated)" she seemed to understand my question as "Hey, my throat hurts so badly that I need to take multiple lozenges to fix it, what should I use?" despite me reiterating it didn't hurt, it was just sore, and that I didn't need something stronger, just that I needed something to coat it better.

Does 'sore' and 'hurt' really mean the same thing to them? Cause in my brain, sore is a mild inconvenience, but hurt is something that needs immediate attention. I don't get it

I was going to eat such a tasty sub after I got back from therapy.. the store had no subs, god has abandoned me...

Making fake wedding cards for a RP with my friend and apparently my calling in art is flowers??

I'm having a great time, I think this looks great. I should draw more flowers

Update on my journey of learning to like tomatoes:

Today I put tomatoes on my salad! Which is a really big step for me, cause I've thought for years that would just be something that I would NOT be able to eat. Top of the list of "I don't like tomatoes so this is something I will never be able to have"

Well I did it.

And goddamn I'm proud!!

Pathetic. Weak. Miserable.

I love him with all of my heart. Cute aggression except the cute mf is terribly, horribly pitiful

Update travelling spirit I did not have the stuff from came around and I have been banished back down to the 800s SOS OTL

Today I hit 1000 candles for the first time in Sky! 3 and a half years, many candle runs with friends, and a lot of lazy days. I thought I'd always be stuck around ~200-300 candles because my laziness catches me constantly. But I did it :D

Today is a damn cool day

Is it a law that every Assassin's Creed game needs a section that plays like absolute ass???

I'm playing Liberation and trying to navigate around the Bayou is like pulling teeth. Can't walk through bushes, climbing the trees is driving me nuts, I accidentally parallel parked a canoe into a corner and couldn't get it free.

I swear there was a similar "why do you control like this???" Section in 3.

Sometimes the games will feel SO good. Jumping, following a path, running seamlessly. Sometimes I want to bang my head against the wall. I loved 3 to pieces and I want to love Liberation too but good lord the controls are rough

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days and suffering by way of Tap Water (thanks, chlorination. I love you, but ow) and have decided to say screw it and just drink the distilled water I have in my house. Holy crap, is it nice to have water and Not want to Cough and Die immediately after.

Maybe don't drink distilled water always. But man, it's better than tap water if your throat hurts

*Opening a package of Italian Meatballs for some spaghetti I'm making*

Huh.. I wonder what kind of meatballs are traditionally put into pasta dishes

*realizes*

Man, I really have to call my doctors again about Post-Exertional Malaise. Months ago we started the process cause I was trying to fight them that I might have CFS. Ruled out diabetes, found out I have severe sleep apnea. Cool. Treating that for the past 4 months. It's only supposed to take ~3weeks to start feeling a difference. Got a kick of energy a few days in and that gave me a new, slightly better baseline which I'm super grateful for, but nothing since then.

I should not be this tired. I spent 3h doing groceries on Tuesday. Then 7 hours at a little 1-day seminar l thing on Thursday. I spent less than 1 hour today throwing together a roast to set it in the oven and forget it while I went back to sleep. I have slept 60 hours in the last 130. I'm still exhausted. Within the next 2 hours, I will be going back to sleep again. Don't even have enough energy to play games on my laptop cause the set up and teardown is too much energy.

I can't tell if I'm gaslighting myself into thinking I'm less sick or more sick. But surely SOMETHING is wrong. It's driving me crazy
