There are many things about chronic illness that are isolating, but I think one I struggle most with is just how many times in my life I've had to rebuild myself.

Today the pressure drop coincided with my first betahistine dose wearing off AND my attempt to go to a knitting event, so that was fun. I went ahead and gave myself TID dosing, and so it did get better before the end, but ugh...

It is easier to change the environment that fucks you over than to change who you fundamentally are. This is true even though it’s very hard to change the environment.

I'm actually really excited to get my bikejoring equipment. I think Ayda is going to love it. Lol we basically already do canicross, but at the sad pace that I can manage. But if I'm on a bike, we can go fast.

I've gotten so used to drinking unflavoured electrolytes that I now get weirded out if my water doesn't taste like the sea.

I'm begging the weather gods for even one day of stable barometric pressure. Just one day! As a treat. A little break. I truly think this is why my health was so much better in southern Ontario before my head injury/covid.

When I was going through my worst period of work bullying combined with then undiagnosed vestibular migraines during the early days of covid, it was 100% my dogs and their care for me that kept me from self-harm.

In my quest to find ways to let Ayda run, I may have just ordered a full bikejoring set up... (I can use it in the winter for skiing as well).

CW: weight talk So after the first time I got covid, I suddenly gained 30lbs over 3 months with zero explanation, and all that doctors could do was calorie shame me, even though once I started tracking I learned I hadn't been eating enough because of migraine nausea.

I encountered my first cybertruck in the wild today, and MY GOD it truly is as horrible as you all have been saying.

Lol I'm officially having a NIGHT. This happened. Then I had only half a bag of fingerlings instead of the full bag I thought I had. I was like "ok, I'll just make rice for myself." But then my Instant Pot didn't come to pressure and burnt, and refused to be salvaged. I'm ready to give up.

Ayda tricked me! She's been doing really well with on leash recall and reactivity, so I decided to do an off leash trial in the yard. And she was so good initially. She was following me around, immediately coming back when I called. And then the little terrorist bolted and went for a joy run.

I'm going to have so much cash back on my Costco credit card at the end of the year because my mom keeps having me buy groceries for her and then reimbursing me.

I'm generally very good at avoiding overconsumption until it comes to Ayda's toys because of her face every time I bring her something home.
