Today Was A Good Day Overall. BUT A Bad Pots Day. I Couldn't Keep Myself Upright Like I Usually Can.

Today was a good day overall. BUT a bad pots day. I couldn't keep myself upright like I usually can. (Sitting on the couch or in my comfy chair, hell I couldn't even sit reclined on my bed.) I had to lie down 70% of the day.

Despite doing everything I knew to try and help, I was so, so dizzy and very, very shaky. I'm surprised I did NOT faint, with how I was feeling. Uff da.

I should have been able to enjoy the day, given that it was rainy the entire time. But it was like outside of the house didnt exist today. There was only my room and the living room.

I briefly stepped outside on the porch to grab a package today and that was it. My new incense arrived! So that's a positive. One variety set of foresty and rainy smells. Then another that had a mix of things like lemongrass, cedar, and I've now already forgotten the rest in that pack.

I also got magnesium spray to massage into my feet before passing tf out at bedtime. Here's to hoping that it helps.

After nearly a whole week of sleeping long stretches successfully.... I could not sleep last night. I finally passed out sometime after 8am.... got up for the day at 11 something am.... *hhhnnnngggggggg* 🫠💀🥲

everyone get unemployed. i will provide for us.

Today was a day.

I'm still sick, with something???? Although it feels like..... I got sick... then when the sickness ended, my pots nausea and gastrointestinal issues just continued? I've spent the last couple of days utterly nauseous, dizzy, and cramped up.

I will say I'm glad I just got some dishes done. They'd sat in the sink for 3 days because I simply couldn't tend to them. Our dishwasher broke and we don't know what's wrong with it. (It's a nice one too so extra devastating, I feel like.)

We need it to get fixed soon, each day that passes I get more anxiety about dishes piling up again. Standing, even sitting, at the sink to do them hurts my body so much. My entire back/shoulders & hands cramp up, which is the biggest dissuasion from the task.

That's all I can remember from today, pretty much. Tons of feeling sick. Had a salad for lunch. Then did dishes. Suddenly it's 10pm. Where did the day go?

Our family accidentally got on a day/night schedule again and it's also probably a factor in being out of sorts. Most everyone we know is more on a 7a-7p schedule. (Give or take a couple hours) But we have been on a 12p-12a schedule for ages.

I want to blame me getting sick, but, it started before that happened. It took 2? days to swing to a random 7a-8p schedule and I hate iiiiiiit.

Honestly my ideal schedule is waking up a couple of hours before sunset, and going to bed a couple of hours after sunrise. Like a 5p-5a thing maybe? Idk... I've sat for a moment mid-type and now have lost my entire train of thought. Oh well.

I need to know

I’m reading some Victorian trash and have found what might be my all time favourite overly-elaborate novel frame story - So we open on a man who's about to move to a new apartment. His friends throw him a party, and at that party they decide to have a seance even though none of them believe in ghosts. Surprise! Ghosts are real. even though this novel is NOT about ghosts (it's about mad science.) Soon the ghost gets tired of table turning and demands a typewriter, and there’s a bunch of fucking around finding the ghost the right kind of typewriter (the ghost insists it has to be some specific obscure brand, and no, this has no bearing whatsoever on the story.) It takes ages. Finally, the ghost possesses one of the guys in order to use the typewriter and it turns out the thing the ghost writes is the entire rest of the novel.
