Ich habe LongCOVID. Nicht ME/CFS — das muss ich vorweg klarstellen, weil der Unterschied wichtig ist. Mein Fall ist moderat: PEM, Dysautonomie, eingeschränkte Belastbarkeit. Ich bin größtenteils fu…

Who thought they could do a standing Beat Saber sesh on Sunday night as it's been almost a year of 'rest', surely must be a bit better by now? And is now finding out how wrong they were? Yup, this idiot 😩

Morning, Toots! Whoops, Day 2 of #PEM (Post Exertional Malaise, it's a thing with #MECFS) so I'm aching in muscles and joints that haven't hurt in a long time. Was it worth losing two days to help out at a cleaning bee? Yes. Next time I'll be a little bit more careful with myself, but yes.
I need to make cakes for Friday for drawing class - I need it to be gluten free, and if possible dairy free. I was going to make the fabulous Lemon, Almond, and Coconut cake from Recipe Tin Eats for the gluten free, but that's got soooo much delicious butter.
So maybe I'll do a Chocolate Olive Oil cake as well. Although I guess if I bought GF flour for that, it would do for both. Decisions.
Better check the pantry before shopping day, anyway.
The rest of today is going to be very slow, I think. Maybe a bit of drawing practice. Some reading and planning.
And you? What are you up to today?

Mijn dochter, ze zal sterven. Als het goed is. Als het mag. Want elke dag en elke nacht is te lang. Misschien mag het niet, want het groene licht moet komen van mensen die leven van CGT en GET en een circuit waarin alles als SOLK of ALK wordt weggewuifd – met schijt aan wat we inmiddels wel weten over #ME, #PAIS, #PEM en ik ben moe. Heel erg moe.
