Week 909
Day 6357 - 11/26 - Cold as hell
Today I was cold as hell, which was kind of to be expected since the library not only always runs cold, but for like 6 months now their central air system has been broken. For a while they had some massive box like things connected to the vents running air, but now that it's always cold those haven't been running. I guess they were just using them in summer and those can't generate heat. But they barely helped anyways. They better seriously get on getting this fixed soon or it's going to start getting extremely cold inside since the weather never gets over 60F these days.
I guess today was ok. I felt pretty ok. My eye poking didn't happen yesterday and has been rescheduled for Monday, so that will still happen. I guess it's good we didn't have to wait long. The doc has a theory that appointments need to be super close or there is a medicine window that is missed and it's not as effective. Though I still wonder if it is actually having any effect. It doesn't seem to really be improving and if not then I'd rather not be risking negative side effects, or new damage from the medicine or poking.
But I held on ok. The next challenge will be holding on through the closed times over the next two days.
Day 6358 - 11/27 - Ok day
Today was a pretty ok day. There was an unexpected surprise in the morning that the shower place was totally closed. I was expecting to spend the first half of the day there. I had to just be outside of the food store for the entire outside time. It was mostly ok. It was a cold day, but sitting in the sun in my car things warmed up pretty well. And I drew some stuff for my pen and paper stuff, so that was good.
Day 6359 - 11/28 - Quick and ok
Today was pretty quick and went ok. I didn't do any pen and paper stuff and I likely won't at this point since I'm rapidly losing the light.
Things were ok. I saw some shows and did a tiny bit of playing. Mostly due to being in weird places I wasn't super comfortable to do regular things. The day passed pretty quickly though and at this point in about an hour it should be back to a regular homeless day and holiday weirdness should be done. I am very much looking forward to truly being back to homeless normal tomorrow.
Day 6360 - 11/29 - Hobby busy
Today I was very busy with my pen and paper stuff. I thought up a change to tweak and it wound up taking 4 hours to do, which was all of my possible hobby time.
I guess the day was meh besides that. The social pages were quiet, so not much chatting. And I really had no time for playing after the hobby stuff. The lunchmeat I got to eat has not been great. I may be forced to find a micro to do that at least once a week since I have temporarily lost my cooked meals I had started doing two or three times a week. Even though they are only a few dollars more, until I know for sure I can hang onto my food stamp money I'm in extreme conservative mode. But repeated lunchmeat is not good. I'm getting more and more sensitive and it's almost starting to feel like I won't be able to eat any of them soon without them all wrecking me. But all I can do is continue to try and hang on one day at a time.
Day 6361 - 11/30 - Okish
Today is ok so far. My tummy is a bit upset by the lunchmeat, but I changed direction and got a soup for tonight, so hopefully things will be fine later.
I'd like to do some pen and paper stuff, but I will have a reduced amount of time today due to this writing. But I feel ok; cold, sad, and worried about my eye appointment, but I guess ok.
Day 6362 - 12/1 - Delayed eye poking
Today will be very short. I have an eye poking just past lunch, cutting my day in half. Hopefully it will be ok and things will be ok long-term, but I really haven't seen much progress so far.
Day 6363 - 12/2 - Hopefully regular Tuesday
Today hopefully a regular homeless Tuesday. Hopefully I can make some progress forward on various things, but really it would just be nice to not have anything bad happen, the day is restful, and I can continue to hang on.
Week 910
Day 6364 - 12/3 - Pause pot stickers
Today was ok. I felt like I'd forgotten something though. I have no idea what it could have been. I spent some of the day doing my pen and paper stuff, and did some decent stuff. I played for a little bit and watched a couple of shows.
Yesterday I discovered something sad. I decided to make the big detour to micro some pot stickers, which I haven't been able to do easily since the fancy food store closure in April. (And can't do there since the reopen due to them no longer having a micro out where people can use it. They were not great. I'm sure nothing was really wrong with them or that my cooking was off, but they upset my tummy in the gluten sensitive way. I didn't go online to check, but I'd guess that is due to the skin they use. Over the past maybe 1.5 years I guess I've gotten more and more sensitive to noodles and even things I didn't consider would be bread like the breading on chicken tenders, or recently the breading in stuffing. Which does explain why so many things seem to affect me now. But if everything affects me so much, and I'm becoming more sensitive to red meat, what am I supposed to eat? I'm rapidly approaching a time where nearly everything I eat seems to affect me to some degree.
Day 6365 - 12/4 - A day off
Today my brain couldn't do pen and paper stuff. I did just about 30-45 minutes then my brain couldn't think at all. I just played and watched a few shows. I guess it was a pretty ok and restful day all in all, but it was sad to not get much pan and paper progress. I'd like to get my ideas out for people to play since I can't play with people any other way right now. Plus, ever since I was 12 I wanted to be a game designer and make stuff for people to play, so finally being able to do it and feel like there's a chance people will finally see and enjoy my stuff is something.
Day 6366 - 12/5 - Quick day
Today was another quick day. I did a bit different stuff for my pen and paper stuff, but like I always say, better do to a side thing and get some progress then feel stuck and not do anything. Though today it was more due to distractions from stuff happening that aren't my usual things than I think it was a lack of ability to focus. I barely even had time to watch a show due to the extra things I did. Overall it was a decent, but very quick day.
Day 6367 - 12/6 - A bit hungry
Today I am a bit extra hungry. I still don't know what is really going on with my tummy. I even forgot about my gluten stuff going on and had a bit of an issue with stuffing. Hopefully someday when my life isn't terrible and I can cook regular food again I will recover pretty quickly and be back to having a normal tummy again. At this point I can't remember when I had totally normal feelings after eating.
I had a bit of a migraine too starting in the late morning. Maybe from too much congestion, but it felt like my eyes were being pushed out of my head and my skull was being pinched where my temples are at the same time.
Day 6368 - 12/7 - Tired brain
Today my brain is pretty tired. It's not thinking good. So I will probably just take the day off from my pen and paper stuff and do some games and show watching. I've been very super sneezy lately and had extra headaches and migraines, so I'd guess that is a big part of it. It's also been very cold at night, and the library still hasn't turned on their heater yet. The other day they had a burst of air for a few hours, but since then the central air has either been off or they still haven't fixed it.
Day 6369 - 12/8 - Probably cold Monday
Today I don't know what to expect. It will probably be pretty chilly. It might rain. It's been very cloudy and looking like rain lately.
Day 6370 - 12/9 - Hopefully ok Tuesday
Today will hopefully be a regular day. Hopefully by now my brain will be back to doing pen and paper stuff. It will be strange when I've 'finished' and all 5 ideas are out. But I definitely want to get them out as quickly as I can to people. I have a lot of little art I need to do for them after they are done with the text and main content. But hopefully today will be ok and I can continue to hang on.
