Woke up at around noon with a massive photophobic vestibular migraine — sitting still doesn’t help really, even al these hours later. I stayed under the heavy warmth of my weighted blanket and kept the back light low my two phones, and playing a new anime ARPG (Lost Sword) while keeping discord open on the…

The Incredibly Creepy Story of the Bat Bug
A few months ago, I drug myself into the bathroom to prepare for a morning shower, when I spied a tiny round bug in the bottom of the tub. After further inspection, I reeled back in horror. Is that a bed bug? I’ve seen those nasty blood cows before, at a rather posh hotel in…
25 Changes I’ve Noticed About Myself In the Past Year
In my previous/intro post, I talked about how my life went along in the last 18 months, and after I finished and posted it, I started to realize that I’ve been through a lot of changes, and thus have changed quite a bit, myself. The more I ruminated on it, the more I wanted to…
This is a Reset! You Can Do it, Too!
I’m restarting the blog. I initially started the blog on the 25th of August, and was very upbeat about getting it launched. I had all these plans to write about something I love (radical self-care, mental health, emotional wellbeing, self-improvement, gaming, music, books, etc) while also touching upon life experience in the form of CTSD…
Re: Prep Work, Trauma, Progress, Changes, Boundaries, and Misc.
I have to stay in bed until my desired wake-up time for my shift, since this is my mostly permanent shift schedule, now. Which means I’m in bed for four more hours. My house is not as clean as I’d like it to be, and it sucks. It’s not overwhelming, but I like walking into…
Whatever
Got home from work about an hour ago, and yikes, I walked almost 8 miles at work today! It makes sense that my plantar fasciitis is singing a little bit (in a soprano tone). I have the night shift, tomorrow, and so I am trying to stay up a wee bit longer before my head…
BIG UPS to Me, Today!
I self-advocated at work, and ended up with a slightly different schedule…and a raise alongside it. The big bonus is that I will be working counter- to when a certain two people from my irl would be awake. And I’d also have more time to do quality work, AND my gym schedule would fit perfectly…
I Have A Schedule! (and a lot of Anxiety to go with it)
I feel so danged excited to simply have a work schedule, and it’s just the biggest relief! For now, it is perfect. I won’t say exactly what time I work, but I will 100% be able to go to bed at the same time every day, and I love that very much. I’ll also be…
Catharsis vs Self-Soothing
I got an email this morning with two really good questions about one of my recent posts. A friend who has been keeping up since last year asked me why I didn’t include things like going to the gym, singing, going on long walks, and playing video games to my list of self soothing techniques….
Waysay Wednesday
One of my friends recently visited Denmark, and over dinner a couple of nights ago (yes, I do in fact go out with friends, sometimes), she excused herself, saying, “I need to visit the waysay.” I was intrigued, as I’d heard this before in a streamer friend’s stream but missed their explanation, and when she…
