I haven't had a home for this since LiveJournal. Twitter was a temporary reprieve until the toxicity started about, what, 8, 9 years ago and people started to pour over and flood and attack people who were older fans of anything.

I clamped down on a lot of stuff. I got really depressed.

I did some soul searching and need to be me again.

I'm going to brle moving over to pawb dot fun later, probably this evening. My apologies to the people who just twitter migrated and were used to me being kind of serious public facing, but I'm about to explode into middle aged uwu on you all.

I will still have science and mushroom photos galore, don't you worry. But I want to have fun again.

I'm still around, just tired.

Which could be the name of my autobiography.

@jendrawscomics HE IS HERE. I am running late and he will go on my phone later.

First float done for my Lunar New Year Lego set! It's so delightful!

My eating gets really disordered when my mental health is bad. I have been supplementing with Boost for a while, and will be for a while yet.

At first I was ashamed, but there is no shame. I have a disability that really messes with my ability to, well, even.

Sometimes I need to pre eat with a glass of boost before I can even cook a meal. Sometimes that IS my meal.

It's better than not eating at all.

So long as I can mostly keep up with the clothes here, my big laundromat runs won't be as often. I do have one to do but It's all the once every couple of months pet blankets, extra towels, stuff like that. Things that piled up when my PTSD was bad over the holidays.

I have just enough change to do one emergency load without a dry if I am desperate.

BTW, TV with food channels is helping me cook again.

I'm trying to not provoke a mental health exacerbation. If I push myself too hard it's a lot, and yesterday I had fun with a friend, but it taxes me.

The overstimulation is real. I'm dealing with a lot and easing myself into balance.

Part of that is letting go of guilt if things don't get done, but also knowing they need to. I have a system with laundry that works but falls apart when I run out of change, so I'm getting change tomorrow after work.

Today I listened to my body. I sorted my laundry, but the majority of it can wait another week. I am alternating between building Lego and housework. I'm going to actually cook. I have to very slightly adapt a recipe because I could only find boneless skinless thighs.

There was not a single cucumber to be found. :O No precut carrots. I have to fight executive dysfunction. I'll pre cut lunch carrots the night before.

I feel old saying I watch Coronation Street, but I started watching it as a joke when I was a teenager in Australia and have watched it off and on since. When I had rabbit ears in BC and only got CBC, I watched it EVERY DAY for about a year.
