Week 927

Day 6483 - 4/1 - Sick, no brain think

Today I am still very out of it from my cold. I sometimes forget to set out decongestants to take, but then I cough yuck and am reminded. So I'm pretty out of it between my cold and decongestants. So probably no creative work for me until the weekend is over. Brain no think good.

Day 6484 - 4/2 - Sniffle, headache, sneezing

Today I still feel pretty sick. I've had some sneezing, and my congestion is not great, and I've had borderline migraines all day. I suppose it wasn't a bad day. Not counting feeling sick it actually was pretty good in terms of being a pretty relaxed day and nothing bad happening.

Day 6485 - 4/3 - Can't follow

Today my brain can't follow anything. I can do about one sentence at a time listening to dialogue, or thinking about something, then that's it. Trying to follow chat which is being said in game or shows hasn't really worked. My brain does feel like it wants to be creative again soon, so maybe hopefully after my forced outside day on Sunday I'll be able to focus and be creative again.

Day 6486 - 4/4 - Early writing

Today I am writing super early, both for the day and the next couple of days. Since I don't expect to get much of a signal tomorrow or have power I want to do all of my writing and post early to be sure it's up.

Not much to say for today except I'm still extremely sniffly, congested, sneezing, wheezing, and my ears are ringing. No headache yet, but the day has just started a little bit ago, so that may come later. I'm pretty sad about tomorrow, and all future holidays to come, but hopefully I'll get through ok.

Day 6487 - 4/5 - Truly outside

Today will truly be an outside day. It will likely be super sad since bunny day is my favorite holiday. Really the best I can hope for is listening to stuff most of the day offline, and getting maybe 2-3 hours online checking on my tablet. Where, sure, maybe I can watch a bit of videos, but that can burn battery pretty quickly. I only know of a couple of places left outside of the library to plug in which are bad spots I wouldn't want to stay in or couldn't also be connected online while there.

I guess it will be a good day for laundry in the morning since it's been a while, but that is always very horribly expensive right now for me since it's about a $15 minimum for just my critical items.

All I can hope is that the day is warm, but not hot, my battery hangs on enough to make it through the day, and that I'm not too sad.

Day 6488 - 4/6 - Hopefully homeless normal

Today will hopefully be back to homeless normal. My class is done, which is crazy because it felt like it had just gotten started. I really didn't learn anything that I couldn't have figured out on my own or looked up a tutorial for in 15 minutes, but being an intro class I didn't really expect to.

Hopefully the day will be restful and I can recover from my cold. And maybe I will feel free enough and motivated enough to get back to pen and paper stuff, even though it has less and less momentum as time goes on and only a few seem to care at all. I'm happy I can do it and some appreciate it, but I am sad and heartbroken it doesn't have enough attention and love to even support a homeless life, let alone more to put me in a position of recovery.

Day 6489 - 4/7 - Unknown Tuesday

Today is another unknown Tuesday. I have no idea what to expect. As always really I just hope nothing breaks or gets worse in my life.
