I’m so sick of the “asshole” culture surrounding right wing politics. Decency must be the example set by the people running our countries. It’s not being “elitist” it’s simply basic human decency to not needlessly antagonize people to win “cool points” with your base.

I am in migraine hangover mode and my amazing partner is picking up all the slack with laundry and dinner. He’s a good one.

DADDY-O

I had two punch biopsies taken of some moles right next to each other on my chest. I guess they don’t use stitches anymore so now it looks like a sexy vampire has attacked me leaving two small tooth holes a perfect distance apart.

My mother is getting cataract surgery tomorrow! After going through steroids and radiation and chemotherapy her eyes are badly affected. I am hoping everything goes well and that she can SEE again.

As long as I’m watching the Office, everything will be alright.

My favourite tech troubleshoot is trying to pinpoint a weird noise coming from your PC and eventually realizing it's just your tinnitus

I bought a 4 foot Christmas tree. I’m usually relatively anti-Christmas but my soul needs a distraction.

Had to cancel my massage appointment due to migraine. This weather is atrocious.

I’m trying to pay more attention to my migraine symptoms so that I can better understand the crazy neurological stuff I’ve been dealing with lately. I sometimes find it hard to tell when I’m having a migraine since my pain sometimes stays pretty low-moderate.

I’ve been sleeping so terribly lately that I would almost prefer to skip sleeping at all.

I think the hardest part of attempting to converse with someone who has been so radicalized is just how angry they are. Far right or far left - there’s just so much rage fueling them. It’s exhausting and not the world I want to live in.

Today an acquaintance revealed just how radicalized he is by stating he would rather live in China than Canada, communism isn’t that bad,and that Israel did 9/11 and is at the heart of every conflict in the modern world. I honestly just don’t even know how to respond to him?

Today I bought one of those giant tubs of tiramisu from Costco and I truly have never been happier.

I love Ubrelvy

Less pleasant - accidentally opened a scammy link someone posted. Is there a way to prevent links from immediately opening? Gross.

Everyone we encountered on the way to and at the store was SO PLEASANT today. Uber drivers, fellow shoppers, market workers. Makes such a difference when you have these positive interactions, and it’s a reminder of how much the negative interactions stay with you, big or small.

SLUGGO’S SUNDAY

Bodies are like Tetris--the longer you play the game of being alive, the faster shit keeps happening and the more you have to scurry around doing maintenance trying not to crash. I liked Easy Mode, dammit.

Making toad in the hole today! I have zero ties to the UK but I am obsessed with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Feeling sad? Mad? Lonely? Scared? Eat some Yorkshire pudding.

Ever since last weekend’s washing machine breakdown I’ve been VERY STRESSED listening to the machine’s drain pump, praying it won’t decide to give out mid-wash. 😱

Lately the only thing that helps me focus through my grief is finding a recipe, cooking the recipe, and feeding my partner. I am voracious - not for the food, but for the knowledge.

Costco croissants are not safe around me. 🥐

I didn’t take a picture of it but I roasted some chicken thigh quarters last night and it was very good. I used to be intimidated by roasting chicken in the oven, but now I think I can move on to my goal of roasting a whole bird! Maybe a small one, but a whole one none-the-less #cooking

Has anyone else noticed troll farms changing their tactics on BlueSky? Nice is in! Don’t be fooled, they’re still working the same job, just coming at it in a different way. Keep BlueSky friendly! Keep calm and don’t let people get you angry - that’s how they win. :)

My left eyelid is twitch like crazy and I’m worried I can expect another migraine soon. lol. Why. 🫠

Feelin’ a little glum this afternoon. A little gloomy. Just that time of year, I guess.

Out for an appointment today. Stopped to pick up lunch. People commented on my mask. If they ask “are you sick?” To which I respond “I dislike being sick.” Sometimes I hit them with “my mom has stage IV cancer and I’m trying to keep her safe” which will stop any further comments, without fail.

YOU’RE RIGHT- - -

Had a hard time sleeping last night because my knees were ACHING. Tossing and turning all night trying to find a good position. Popped out my knee at one point and it was a welcome change from the constant ache. It’s normally not this bad but it’s very damp out lately and it’s causing issues.

I had a riveting conversation today with a coworker who reminded me just how much petty bullshit managers need to wade through on a daily basis. I have so much respect for people who manage people, I do not think I could do it.

My inner ears are itchy, I’m a little congested and I have what I believe to be a migraine. AGAIN. The past couple weeks have been brutal for migraines.
