How I see the world

Hello internet, so today I thought I’d show the world how I see things. If this is familiar to you, I’m sorry.

With my right eye closed I see normally.

On a bad day, with both eyes open, I see like this:

And on a bad day with my left eye closed I see like this:

Lockdown Diaries May 1st

It’s a tradition to wash your face in the dew on May 1st, but I forgot until the grass was dry, so rubbed some grass on my face instead. 

Had poppadoms for breakfast which made me very happy and studied some reproductive endocrinology.

An online pub quiz taught me about a game called dream phone and a woman called Lorena Bobbit who cut off her husbands penis and both sound fascinating to me.

It was world pole dancing day so the perfect opportunity to catch up with some old pole friends on instagram.

Lockdown Diaries April 30th

tApril 29th was a fuzzy day, I think it was drowned by migraines.

April 30th featured the first takeaway since lockdown started. We had pakora, curry and popadoms. I spent some time in the garden doing some hulahooping (on my knees!) and decided to take up skipping, but skipping certainly isn’t my strong point. 

Did a quiz with the family and did reasonably well. That’s all I remember, I need to catch up on this

The thing about chronic pain is once you’ve had it for long enough you can’t remember what not being in pain felt like. You only recognize it as ‘not as debilitating as usual’ or ‘very much more fucking debilitating than usual’ so you have no grasp anymore of what it’s like to do things without factoring your pain levels in.

People who aren’t in constant pain think that if you’re having a ‘good pain day’ it means you’re not in pain and should be able do to things. But having a good pain day doesn’t mean you’re not in pain, it means you’re in less than excruciating pain. Maybe your pain is low enough that you can ignore it.

But people who don’t live in pain don’t understand that ignoring it takes energy, and even if it’s low enough that we can ignore it doesn’t mean it’s gone and it doesn’t mean we want to go out and do a bunch of things that will make it so bad it cannot be ignored.

Where are the lockdown diaries?

Hello to my 1 follower and anyone else who reads my posts. I was keeping an online diary of the lockdown however I’ve recently had a really bad pain flair and before that a really bad migraine that lasted days, so I’ve not really been able to keep the internet updated. However I will try to backdate it and continue on where possible

Tony Hawk is like fucking Perry the Platypus because if I saw him without a skateboard I'd be like "A man" and the second he picks up a skateboard I'd be like "TONY HAWK?!?!?!?!?!"

Lockdown Diaries

It’s April 28th, and it’s not as sunny outside as it has been.

I woke up at 9am ready for my PBL class over zoom at 10.30. Found some headphones which made it much easier to communicate with everyone and had the class in the garden. Class was good, we had some really interesting discussions about cancer and depression.

My dad went to the shop this morning and had a panic because he had forgotten how to use a bank card

The neighbours daughter had her birthday today and we saw her sneak into their garden. The post man came to deliver some books - knocked the door, put the parcel down and then ran away. 

I sat inside for most of today since the weather wasn’t great and I didn’t have the energy for a daily walk. Did 1 and a half lectures before lunch and 2 after. Lunch was potato and leek soup, but I think my brain has become convinced there’s a food shortage as I’m dreaming about Mars bars. Made satay noodles with loads of veg for dinner, so not sure why my brain thinks there’s no food. 

Did an online quiz with the family hosted by a virtual pub that’s run for a local cancer charity. We all did well tonight, but still didn’t win. Had a call with S, she’s working through all of this, but she says work was chill tonight. 

I want to know... how’s everyone else coping with lockdown?
