Feeling much more human today. No idea what was happening yesterday. I had a good dinner and went to bed a bit early, and then woke up super early. *laughs* It's fine. I had a nice cuddle with my lovely spouse, which is an excellent way to kick off any day.

And yeah, my usual being awful about having a proper lunch isn't setting me off today, so... 24 hour bug? Who knows. It was kind of scary though to feel like I was shutting down so hard that going to sleep was my only option. I'm not a napper; naps make me feel iller/more tired. So if I'm sleeping during the day, you *know* that my system is wrecked.

Anyhoo. Gonna curl up with my games, try to do a bit more knitting, but mainly hope that the rest of the day goes smoothly. Should do, but still -- fingers crossed.

Having one of those days where I'm famished, but like, food is too hard. Which mean I've had a fair amount of candy due to its proximity, and whatever I can gleam from the fridge that doesn't take more than half a step to 'prepare'. I just had a couple of chunks of cheese, so hopefully that (and more caffeine) will take the edge off enough to make me feel half-human. Because oh yeah, on top of this the fatigue is slamming down **hard**. Rude.

So yeah. Fun. At least work is done for the week, so I can like, go curl up and sleep for days if that's what it comes to. Hopefully not. Me taking a nap is a sign of being extra ill, because just like, taking one on a whim makes me feel a lot worse. If my body is so banged up it demands bonus sleep, that's slightly different. But also, I'd rather not spend my free time asleep if I can help it.

Bleh.

Just sort of slogging through the day. Got work done... pain levels are... mainly ignorable? Mainly. I mean, I still feel like I'm being lightly electrocuted, but it's been going on so long it's very slightly less noticeable. *lolsob*

I also stabbed myself in the face with the brain fog realisation. Oh hey, I'm *aware* of it again! *weakly* Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Existing is so rude. At least video games exist.

#deardiary #dailylog

I had a realisation today, and I'm not that impressed. I realised I've had brain fog for so long that I... sort of forgot it was there? I mean, I guess it means I've done my best at making do within my means, but still, like. How do you *forget* your brain is impaired? Or did I just answer my own question there, ha ha.

((sometimes, you've got to laugh so you don't cry. this might well be one of those times.))

Still, I got through work in a reasonable time, and have been able to return to resting. Well, trying to complete all the deeds in Pokopia, ha ha. I've almost completed everything I can in Withered Wasteland, and then it's on to Bleak Beach for the same treatment. I've got a note up on my computer next to the Serebii database of items, so I can try to make all the Pokemon have awesome lives (and of course, use as much furniture up as possible).

So yeah.

Another day of feeling lightly electrocuted... c'mon body, must you. ¬¬ But I got my hair washed and the cat boxes done, so that's the must-do things sorted. And, bonus... didn't have to leave the house. Eldest has a consultation at the hospital for needed gum surgery, and we were *supposed* to be getting new internet installed. We've still not heard anything, so of course, I had to stay behind. *deadpan* Oh no. I mean, obvs, if I could go and support my child I would even if I desperately wanted to stay home, but yeah. Not gonna bitch when things conspire to give me what I want.

I finally finished my languishing socks last night, and have them on my feet. Lovely. I've already started the next pair, and I suspect it won't take nearly as long. I mean, I've never had a pair languish for months before, heh. But I don't really feel like doing other crafts right now after doing that design jag, then bracelet-making, so. Nice to return to home base.

Right. Back to suitably distract myself from ouch.

Existing persists. I'm curled up trying to focus enough to finish this poor second sock, but I keep getting distracted by shiny objects. *giggles* Is fine. As long as I'm not moving too much and resting as best I can. I've tentatively declared it an active fibro flare, based on the fact that I feel like I'm being slightly electrocuted. I honestly can't think of a better way to explain it at the second.

So. Yeah. It goes. I'm in fairly good spirits all told, but yanno, would be nice to have a day where I felt half human. It's been a long spell without it.

New phone has arrived! Which means spending ages making it look as much like the old one as possible, ha ha. It's coming along. I've got the look mainly sorted, so now it's getting logged back into everything.

*makes it so*

Past that, I'm in a slight gah, what to play lull. There's new content coming out for Anno 117: Pax Romana later this month, but like... I'm done with it for the second? I mean, I bought the year 1 pass, but. Ready for something else now. I would still prefer something I can watch tick by, because I'm making great headway on my sock (finally). I'll figure something out. Probably.

Stars, and thank deity it's the weekend now. I am so thoroughly exhausted, it isn't even funny. But work got done, and now I can be a lump. Sort of.

See, littlest decided she wants to sell her bracelets online. Which means in my shop. Which I'm not against, but she has energy and I don't, so she's like 'Mom what do you think of my logo idea?' and I'm like '404 brain not found'. xD I also made it clear that there are more steps than making the bracelet and selling it, and that she shouldn't want to be doing it for profit, but rather, a bit of fun//repayment of craft supplies. So we'll see how it goes. I don't mind listing them for her per se, but I told her she's got to do the things like photography and editing herself.

Right. Lump time.

*flops* Stuff, things. Work done. Childling's beads and magnets in; her finished products are looking lovely. She's been making some for friends, and she gets to hand one over shortly. I look forward to seeing how much A likes it.

I'd mentioned in passing yesterday that I should upgrade my phone. It processed through spouse's brain today, so we got that processed. I've not had a new phone in five years! Which is fine -- when we bought our last phones, we bought ones that would last awhile. It still functions well enough, but it doesn't get security updates, and the camera is a bit shite several generations on. So going from my OnePlus Nord, to my Oneplus Nord 5 -- at a steep discount too, because Oppo is discontinuing the brand in the UK. And now the youngest has the oldest phone in the house, ha ha. As it should be?

Right. I should try to do some knitting. *nodnods*
