i have learned that i hate prym hooks. i bought a 9mm prym crochet hook at one point, cant remember why, and used it for the first time yesterday with 100% acrylic. every stitch felt like nails-on-chalkboard in my fingers. switched back to a cheap aluminum and its gone. back 2 susan bates & furls 👎🧶

due to a crazy turn of events, i am now caring for a severely malnourished puppy. his name is bear, i love him so much. yesterday was pretty rough on him, but today he’s showing interest in toys and playing. i have a lot of hope that he’ll make a full recovery over the next few months<3

my ESA has been coming over to check on me every hour or two 🥹 he comes over and stands on me purring until he’s satisfied that i’m okay, then gives me a short head bump in the face and leaves. training him to give kisses was the best thing ever actually

i keep having to look at objective pain scales to remind myself that i am not a low-pain-tolerance bitch baby, this pain IS disabling and i am allowed to be upset about it. because otherwise my brain keeps telling me that i’m overreacting and taking advantage of everyone to be lazy. #chronicillness

another day of waking up im so much pain i could barely move. i couldnt get back to sleep for at least an hour. naproxen only helps so much. my left hip and left wrist are the worst. it’s clear the iron pills aren’t working even though it hasn’t been three months yet. i shouldnt have to wait …->🧵
