1. I want to not have a headache. I need better health.
2. I want AO3 to not be down for maintenance right now. I need entertainment when I have pain and dysfunction.
3. I want to not have to worry about whether I’m communicating clearly enough to overcome other people’s bad—faith takes and will to misunderstand me. I want people who disregard how much I hurt or how tired I am to have to put up or shut up.
4. I want Mom to stop smoking. I need to worry less about her and it not reassuring at all that she has to be on blood thinners bc she won’t give up nicotine.
5. I want to have a fancy TENS unit that can give my body sensations to a doctor ( @or other third parties) for the purpose of getting them to believe me about medical bullshit.

Batrick’s Storage Unit of DOOM

I can’t get the pictures to load on Imgur, but I do have pics of Bat’s 10’x25’ storage unit, packed chin-high with decaying cardboard boxes and trash bags full of a mish-mash of possessions packed, at the last minute, in no logical order. How did Bat come to be in possession of a full storage unit of DOOM? Some of that is AuDHD executive dysfunction, and some of it is life circumstances being hard for someone with those disabilities to navigate. You may have seen the ADHD aphorism “DOOM” ie. “Don’t Organize, Only Move”? Well, you’ll be seeing it a lot in this post.

Wow, long post is long.

Today has been a day of cramps, grocery shopping, more cramps, talking to people on the phone, learning to debone a chicken, and having figured out when to do class work to get ahead of schedule without getting a headache from the overhead fan throwing flickering shadows over everything when the sunshine is coming in the clerestory window.

Let’s hope that works out tomorrow.

Things and stuff, stuff and things.

I got the I’m-not-judging-your-life-choices face from my cardiologist last week, and since then have been taking my meds every four hours like clockwork, as instructed. It has really helped with the anxiety and random periods of shakiness I’ve been getting, so I guess she knew what she was talking about. 😅

I want to have either a Crow Party or a Goblin Market, sometime in the fall. But I know like zero people here, so I am asking around about how to do that in a strange mid-sized city. I was advised by one of my sagely and wise friends to get to know local bartenders at music venues, as they will have a good idea of local players, and I am also thinking of asking local pagan artists if they are vending anywhere this fall that might be amenable to my having a small, possibly-kid-friendly time slot in their event.

Other ideas of how to accomplish this are also welcome in case I strike out with the few artists whose business cards I have from the Solstice event I went to.

Fun in the sun? Well, kinda.

I went to a Summer Solstice festival, and had a gyro and didn’t get a headache despite walking around in the sun and heat! I bought a great big labradorite pendant for me, and a palm stone for a friend, and some hot sauce and a laser carved magnet for a different friend. I am ahead on getting people gifts this year! And I supported independent artists, so yay for that.

In homework news, I am done with the stupid answers to the Vision Board for Basic Ass People journal questions, as of this evening, so now that whole project is done. I have about half the material reviewed for the Science of Movement mid-term, and I’m about to start in on the A+P homework tomorrow morning.

In other news, Vahdam Teas’ Vanilla Matcha is delicious and amazing. And now? Now I knit.
