It’s a sleepy kind of day today, overcast and threatening rain, and I’ve had a lot less than Optimal Sleep this week. I’m counting down quite keenly for the weekend… But also, I’m still really excited about Define Good and making progress on writing (although I didn’t do any yesterday since I was focusing on […]

Ah ha, ah ha ha ha ha. Well. We all knew that I was being ambitious with my 2021 plans, because I always am. I didn’t expect to be *quite* this far behind at not even the end of January though :’D The insomnia is getting better, but not super fast, and now that I’m

So I had the fun experience the other day of going in for a routine check of my thyroid (which was irradiated back in 2014, woot radioactive girl!*) and getting the results, which were, essentially, “Hey, your thyroid’s GREAT but LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IS BROKEEEEENNNNN”. *eyeroll*. * So after the radiation therapy, I had to

6 weeks into this gluten-consumption rubbish and the anxiety is whirling. On the one hand, boo hiss this totally sucks. On the other hand, at least it’s concrete evidence that gluten is responsible, and suggests that managing anxiety will be much easier in the future once I’m allowed to go back off gluten? (2 weeks+

…If somewhat tenuously. Gluten sucks. Like, even more than I thought. Because I came off it slowly, a bunch of symptoms disappeared that I didn’t even realise were gluten-related. And now that I am back on the gluten hard-core, as it were, the symptoms are all piling back on, and eww ick gross. Basically. So

Just totally snowed under by work etc this week. Have the new opening to #FoxBook as a thank you for being here despite my non-brain-ness :3 <3 Trigger warnings: The dog starts out dead. It’s not described in horrific detail, but if that’s problematic for, you skip the first 400 words and start at the

The brain, she is the dedz. Miss 3 went back to daycare/preschool two weeks ago after 6 or 7 weeks off, and the rest of us went back to school – to *new* schools, as a matter of fact. Welcome, whole new germ pool. >.< Consequently, at least 50% of the family is ill right
I have topics I want to blog on, but this is not a great week for writing long posts since I am scrambling to get my impossible deadlines met before Christmas. Today, though: Finished a play mat for the Etsy store (and promptly put the store into holiday mode, ha). Shopped for cellophane and post

Funny. If you’ve been playing along, you know by now that I had a Major Work Project (MWP) that ate up most of my life from late July through to mid-September, and that I’ve been digging myself out of that hole ever since. I passed, which is fantastic (!!), and I just found out last

Honestly, at this point it feels like I’ve been On Deadline since July, and–no, wait, probably June too. Yeah. And to be honest, it really, really sucks. Mostly, this is because Term 2 and Term 4 are crazy-town anyway with finals and marking and report writing etc, but largely it’s because Term 3, which is
