Week 891
Day 6231 - 7/23 - Sneezy and congested
Today I am still very sneezy and congested. I guess it was an ok day other than that. I rested and played, but sheesh, so much sneezing and congestion and a bit of a headache.
Day 6232 - 7/24 - Sneezing yuck
Today I was sneezing and sometimes coughing up yuck. I felt pretty ok, maybe a bit of a headache still, just sneezing a ton and there were a few yucks. Hopefully that means I'm getting over this cold, but I don't know. It feels like it's been more than a week already. Hopefully it clears up soon.
Day 6233 - 7/25 - Stiff neck
Today, and I forgot to mention yesterday, I have had a pretty stiff neck. It's not as bad today. It really wasn't affecting me inside, as I kept my head forward, but outside it's a bit touchy if I try and look all the way back over either shoulder.
I guess the day was pretty ok other than that.
Day 6234 - 7/26 - Stiff neck again
Today my neck is stiff again. I guess it's not too bad though. My tummy is a bit upset from the foods I got today, so that isn't great. Hopefully my tummy settles down soon, or it may make sleeping difficult.
Tomorrow I will be listening in to some people playing with one of the pen and paper things I did, so that should hopefully be super fun. I realized a bit ago I may never actually see anyone playing with my stuff. All of the people who already stream stuff are either just doing base game stuff or they are doing their own homebrew stuff. None of them seem interested in doing my stuff on their streams. Which I guess makes sense. But it does mean I still have no idea if people like it or not. There are still only three different star ratings and no reviews. There are about 360 total downloads now, so that is quite a bit more than I thought I'd see, but is nowhere near the thousands it would probably really need to be to show that people have genuine interest. As always, I try not to be too sad that only a few may ever play with it, and maybe in time it will get some love and appreciation I don't see so far.
Day 6235 - 7/27 - Heart feels weird
Today, and actually for a few days now, my heart has been feeling a bit weird. My vision is dipping into the pretty bad range, so it could be blood pressure weirdness.
Sadly there is no piratey pen and paper play today. A few of the people got very busy doing stuff getting ready for a big convention they are doing next week, so they decided to postpone. But my day has been ok so far, so hopefully it will continue to be ok.
Day 6236 - 7/28 - Probably regular Monday
Today I expect will be a regular Monday. I don't know of any special stuff coming up. Hopefully I will be feeling better from my cold. There is still a lot of congestion and sneezing.
Day 6237 - 7/29 - Probably regular Tuesday
Today I don't know of anything unusual happening. Hopefully I will be feeling better and can continue on.
Week 892
Day 6238 - 7/30 - Weird day / don't feel like it
Today is a weird feeling day. My heart still feels a bit off. I'm still not sure what to do about that. There is a fancy watch online I found for like $40-50 that can track stuff and would sync with an app I could use on my tablet. That might be good. I could check blood pressure and other stuff to see if something is up or if I'm just feeling weird. But I hate watches. I haven't worn one since I was like 12. And I wouldn't want to have a negative thing happen, like I start obsessing over everything and I feel like I need to check my health every 15 minutes or something. I guess I'll just have to wait and continue to see if my heart keeps feeling weird.
My muscles on my hips, and sort of in general, have also been feeling weird for a while. I'd describe it as the same kind of feeling you get when you are dehydrated. Though I've been drinking pretty normally lately. I even had a touch extra sodas lately. Though that may be due to my generally sticking to lower amounts lately and so my body felt like it needed more.
I also don't feel like doing much of anything today. I did want to do some pen and paper stuff I've been wanting to do, which hasn't been done in what feels like forever. And I kind of didn't really even feel like I wanted to play stuff. I think I still just feel like I need a genuine day off, where I don't need to worry about windows of opportunity to do this or that, where if I miss them I feel like I'm wasting my opportunities, or needing to plan what I eat (since someone else would be cooking), or needing to go here or there (because I have a place to be and don't have to leave.) Maybe it's again just a day where my homeless life feels like it's weighing down on me extra hard.
Day 6239 - 7/31 - Not great start
Today started not great. The lunchmeat I got for the day wrecked me pretty badly. I don't understand why nearly all the meats I get these days, if cold, seem to wreck me.
I guess overall the day was pretty ok. I eventually felt better and did some playing and had fun. I did still want to do the hobby things, but still didn't quite feel like it. Maybe tomorrow I'll do them.
Day 6240 - 8/1 - Meat robot
Today I feel like a very tiny person piloting a big meat robot. I feel weird in a way I don't know how to describe. It's not a bad feeling, just out of body type feelings, but reversed, very much in my body.
I guess it was an ok day, but I again didn't feel like doing stuff for other people. I felt pretty tired, and I guess just a little sad and left out. I don't think things are too bad, and I'm sure it will pass soon, but it is definitely sad that I feel this way.
Day 6241 - 8/2 - Migraine
Today I was in the mood to do my hobby stuff that I've been wanting to do, but almost immediately after settling in to the library I got a migraine which lasted most of the day. Additionally, probably due to an increase in blood pressure due to the migraine, nearly all of the day all I felt like doing was shooting aliens in the face, so I played my shooter.
I guess overall it wasn't the worst day. Food was ok, which is rare these days. And I did have a pretty ok time playing stuff. I also found a game show to watch when I have nothing else to watch, so that seems like a bit of fun.
Day 6242 - 8/3 - Blind day
Today is one of the worst days for vision. Everything past about 2 feet is blurry. Even my laptop screen isn't clear. So I went ahead and ordered the watch. I guess I have 30 days to try it out before the return window expires, so I'll give it 2 weeks of gathering data, and if that doesn't seem to be tracking anything useful or I can't see any possible patterns, I'll go ahead and return it.
Food for the day was ok. My vision is maybe slightly better after eating, so maybe that is something, but we've checked my sugar levels and such and I've been solidly in the normal range, so that seems unlikely to be related. I was hoping to do hobby work today, but with this bad vision I won't be able to do anything. So hopefully I can see well enough to at least enjoy gaming and shows. I'm still extremely sneezy and congested too, and coughing up some yucks again, so that doesn't seem great.
Day 6243 - 8/4 - Maybe weird Monday
Today may be weird. I guess this week the library is changing some lighting stuff on the 2nd floor. The librarian I asked said they shouldn't be working in my area, but of course I should expect some people overflow from the closed areas. So we'll see. Hopefully things won't be too weird.
Day 6244 - 8/5 - Unknown Tuesday
Today I don't know what to expect. Hopefully my health watch will be gathering useful data. And hopefully I don't get overcrowded from the people overflow from the construction areas in the library. And hopefully I can continue to hang on ok.
