Week 899

Day 6287 - 9/17 - Brain doesn't work

Today I am so extremely tired my brain isn't working at all. I was going to try to do some pen and paper hobby stuff, but I have had zero energy, and zero brain processing power. I would guess it's a combination of physical exhaustion as well as extra stress exhaustion from the storage changes, and on Monday the terrible eye poking. Hopefully I recover soon, but usually when I feel this exhausted it's close to a week to recover. In good news I got word dad sent extra money, so if there is still regular gift money he sends during the holidays, all added up I will be very tight on things, but shouldn't be terribly short for bill money. (Assuming there are more sales of my pen and paper hobby stuff.)

Day 6288 - 9/18 - Okish with headache

Today I felt okish. I was still extremely exhausted and didn't want to do anything. I had a bit of a headache too. I guess it was an ok day, though I did kind of want to do pen and paper writing/creating but I knew my brain would not have it with how exhausted I felt. Maybe soon I won't feel so bad and can go back to being creative.

Day 6289 - 9/19 - Extremely tired again

Today I am very extremely tired again. I wanted to do pen and paper stuff, but again I just felt completely exhausted. Plus I actually had some podcast stuff I needed to do, so that used up a lot of my time.

I guess the day was ok, but really I was just so exhausted I didn't feel like doing anything and couldn't think clearly.

Day 6290 - 9/20 - Better day

Today was a better day. I did a couple of hours of pen and paper writing and I felt pretty good about how that turned out. Part of me wanted to do more, but I both didn't want to burn out by doing too much, and I still feel like it seems like probably no one will care about it. There are still some people downloading my current stuff, but really no one is ever offering to pay anything, let alone pay the suggested $10 price, which feels very sad. I will be doing a lot less for this new thing, so I'm guessing I'll have a suggested price of $2.50, which may get a better response, both because it's cheaper and smaller. Maybe the other two being 125 pages feels like too much.

My tummy felt a bit off though. I don't know why, but it basically has never felt like it used to since the big sick. I don't know if I should go to a tummy doctor and have them check things, or if it's part of getting older that it always feels a bit off. Of course I still can't rule out the fact that I'm homeless and especially since the healthy food store closed I am forced to eat an overly high amount of lunchmeat foods and a near nonexistent amount of fruits and vegetables. Though of the two about once or twice a month for a while now I have gotten a small thing of mixed berries. Pretty much the only time I have vegetables though is about once every three months when I get Panda fast food. I could get some salad from the regular food store, which I did used to do pretty frequently back in the day. But since the big sick for whatever reason salad wrecks me more than anything else.

I still feel extremely tired; to the point I feel like I could flop over and fall asleep at any second. But I am very slowly improving, so hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Day 6291 - 9/21 - Trying no meat

Today I am trying to have a no meat day. I haven't done nachos in forever because both the cheese and possibly the corn chips have wrecked me. Hopefully I'll be ok since I haven't done either in forever.

Hopefully today will be an ok day. I am going to try to do some pen and paper work which I feel hopeful about. I'm still really tired though, so I don't know how well my brain will think today.

Day 6292 - 9/22 - Hopefully creative

Today hopefully will be a creative day. I don't really have anything that I expect for the day, so hopefully I can be creative and it will be ok.

Day 6293 - 9/23 - Maybe creative Tuesday

Today hopefully will be creative, but I may still be very tired, so hopefully I can recover and be ok.
