    I Hate the Spoon Theory…

    The spoon theory if you don’t know is popular when explaining how chronic illness etc limits what you can do, usually to people who say things like “you don’t look sick”. Spoon theory explains what it’s like to live with a fatiguing chronic illness. You start the day with a set amount of ability to…

  • Just the First Half…

    A common movie trope is the selfish single person finds fulfillment through love, or adversity. For example in the film “About a Boy”, Hugh Grants shallow playboy starts caring about people and makes his life complicated. I’m going to say the characters life in the first half of the film seems much more attractive to…

  • I Still Instantly think Dungeon Master…

    Even though I’m a long time twitter user I still find myself confused by some things that go on there. Maybe I functioned too long in a pre-social media world to feel completely comfortable separating etiquettes between digital and in real life. I know they call twitter a town square, but that implies people standing…

  • Sunshine on my Pillow…

    And other things that make me happy. A goodnight of sleep has helped my mood considerably, also I suspect deciding to take the weekend off from any farm/work activities is also a part of that. I’m doing wonderfully mundane housework stuff, a few loads of washing, sorting the pantry etc. but mainly what I’m doing…

  • It Sneaks Up…

    I’ve been feeling increasingly out of sorts all day. The objectionable sharp tongued me that I don’t like and rarely surfaces these days has been let out today, and I didn’t know why. I’m tired and stressed and that’s pretty much homeostasis for me at the moment. And then it hit me… my social media…

  • It’s got to be real nostalgia…

    I used to thrift, opshop, garage sale etc a lot, and I miss it. To be clear I don’t miss have piles of stuff everywhere, but I do miss the little adrenaline and endorphin rush from finding a particularly nice piece item out in the wild. How could you not be excited seeing a box…

  • Running on Fumes…

    So three months (give or take), is how long it’s taken for the manic denial stage of grief to pretty much burn itself out. Also I’ve run of Valium which isn’t going to help. Luckily I have a doctors appointment next week and he trusts me not to pop them like candy. Anyway that wasn’t…

  • It’s a day out…

    Why on earth would you agree to participate in a slightly time intensive medical study when you are busier than you’ve ever been? Ummm… that’s probably a fair question, and it’s complicated, I think, but let’s explain the situation. I have a chronic illness called Crohns, I was diagnosed in my early twenties and it’s…

  • Now with Realistic Battle Damage™️

    To quote Frank Turner “It’s been a difficult winter, it’s been a rough few months”, that’s probably an understatement, and it might have been a bit longer than a few months. To be honest at the moment I’m just trying to make it to the end of year without a major breakdown. I’m pretty confident…
