UPDATE: (!)

I have a niece who was born Way, WAY too early - at like 14-ish weeks? Aka, right after the first trimester, which for those playing at home is 1/3 into the normal pregnancy period, and thus has a high risk of the fetus not living long....

And friends, she's STILL HERE 💪💪💪💪 I would like to thank modern medicine and, in equal part, my family's hillbilly/peasant genes, which made her "a fighter" to quote her medical staff (her dad is...delicate).

And, tbh, she was born in January and in the time since then I've lost a grandparent and had a parent be diagnosed with cancer. And im still doing better.

Take it one step at a time. One day at a time. Try to do one thing (min) a day that will help future-you. Tiny things build. I love you 💖

Good news, everyone! I've discovered a new personal indicator of my mental health hitting rock bottom..."staring into space in my work's break room area while a vending-machine Hot Pocket "cooks" in the microwave"

EDIT: wow, didn't even realize I put the pain scale up then never mentioned it haha, SOMEONE FORGOT THEIR MEDS THIS MORNING! that's why it's called a 'cocktail of symptoms' 🙃🍸🌟

Wait so is the mandate of heaven and the divine right of kings the same kind of concept, or have I massively misunderstood one or the other?

i must not let the fatigue get me i must not let the inertia take me i must not lie down, i must keep fighting. oh giles corey, patron saint of more weight, protect me as i walk forward, endlessly. so many days now i wake and the exhaustion presses her hands on my shoulders. she asks me what more can you do? and i close my eyes to her. i have given up so much already. i must not kiss her. she dances so beautifully. she makes this bed into a promise. i must not lie down, love. i must get up. i must keep fighting.

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!

Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.

And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition

I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.

you're not quite an emergency, is the thing. you're just having a bad spell. so what if you can't ever really catch your breath. can't ever really feel at ease. a buzzing, terrible feeling.

but emergencies are loud, and passionate, and hit the floor. you are not a lion or a hurricane, you just live in a pretty okay apartment and your back hurts. you wake up and drag yourself out of bed and banish what if i was dead thoughts like cobwebs. you pick out your clothes and try to stay active. you apply for jobs on the internet.

the anxiety is a wave, and the depression is a spiral. the other stuff keeps things "colorful." you mitigate your symptoms and take your meds when you have them and you try to hang out with friends. you go home and your head is full of riverwater. no matter how much you sleep, you still stay tired. you journal and practice gratitude and build from the bottom upwards. and still, the haunting.

you're not a 911 call or a shriek. you're just staring up at the ceiling and feeling the house settle into your bones. you feel you are playacting as a wolf when you're only a sheep. not quite dry and not quite drowning.

over and over, you slog through the creek.
