I haven’t looked at Facebook marketplace in quite a while but damn everyone loves selling their used items for the same, if not higher price they paid for the items new.

If I’m going to pay $150 for the crappiest baseline wheelchair I might as well get it new so I have the protection of the warranty or the option to return it.

I’m going to the ren faire on Sunday! I have to do a lot to prepare.

I need to go to the dollar tree/goodwill to look for accessories for my outfit

I need to buy snacks and sunscreen so Trader Joe’s or maybe grocery outlet since it’s closer

I need to do probably 3-4 loads of laundry and one load of dishes

I need to watch some tutorials for braiding my hair in something that utilizes all 2 feet of my hair. I want it to be extra but not kill me of heat stroke since it will be 80 and I’m prone to heat sensitivity both because of genes and SSRIs.

I have a tiny backpack that my coworker bought on temu and then gave me that I can carry my shit in, and I have some jewelry, and I’m vaguely thinking about a faux floral garland with tiny leds and a battery pack. Could be cute.

The theme this weekend is Faes and Fables so I want to be a little extra.

I was making a fake ham and cheese sandwich and wondered if anyone had ever made mayonnaise ice cream before and when I googled it, there’s a bunch of recipes where people substitute it for a portion of the dairy but not much in the way of mayo ice cream for the sake of the mayo. There’s a few where all they really add. Is vanilla but it’s neither a vanilla ice cream experience nor a mayo ice cream experience. If I had lots of money I would invest in making a perfect mayo ice cream recipe. Enjoying mayo is one of the two Midwesterner traits that I’m only mildly embarrassed about.

usually when you have a stomach bug your body is like yes sir we'll get this punk out of here, 48 hours tops. then you get a cold and your body is like I dunno ... between a few hours and eleven months ... maybe a week minimum .... you gotta understand we're short staffed

[tibli]

tbf to the body, stomach bugs are easier to flush out since they are already in The System That Flushes Things Out From The Body, and that includes BOTH ends.

with a cold you gotta wait for the macrophages in your blood to start Eating Everything, and they are. not big. it takes them a while. please be more considerate of your macrophages in the future, theyre doing their best

I’m really struggling with memory and thinking today. I embarrassed myself doing math wrong twice and had to stop to remember my coworkers names a couple times too.

I have a bit of a headache and crazy tinnitus.

I’m going to the renaissance faire on Sunday and I think I have a dress picked out but I should probably do some accessorizing. Maybe I’ll go to goodwill on Saturday.

sometimes you invent mind prisons for yourself for no good reason and youre like "i really like being in the mind prison" even though you dont actually like being in the mind prison

My scale is vibes based, sorry. Maybe I will do something more empirical in the future but I’m lazy and I’m trying to force myself to do stuff while I’m depressed so getting a rating at all is kind of a Xmas miracle.

Aestetica by Allie Rowbottom was really hard for me to get into. It’s about a woman who aspires to be an influencer who is taken advantage of by her manager/boyfriend. He basically sells her to his buddies at big parties (this is revealed slowly and I think it is meant to resemble that feeling when you can’t tell what’s memories or what is actually happening when you’re strung out) and keeps feeding her drugs until she’s hooked, and then she kind of gets hooked on cosmetic surgeries. Her mom gets cancer and also has a history with pain killers. I think the only part that didn’t feel like a character study of shallowness was that she was struggling so much with dysmorphia and addiction but she saw her friend on the verge of dying from anorexia and wanted to help her. I am mentally ill and it causes distress often but I think that makes me pretty good at spotting other people’s crises, and sometimes other people’s problems feel easier to work with than our own.

Pretty triggering on a few fronts, and I gotta say I kind of hate hearing emojis read to me in the audiobook. Some of the prose is good. Idk, I wouldn’t read it again or recommend it to anyone. 3/10

While We Were Burning by Sara Koffi

This book was pretty good but I’m not thrilled with the ending. It follows two women in Memphis, one from fancy suburb-y area and one who is not. The white suburby lady is having suburban problems like not liking her neighbors or wanting to do neighborhood watch. The black lady from the other side of Memphis is saving up for nursing school and takes a job as white lady’s assistant. It’s slowly reveals that white lady’s neighbor was killed in a way that looked like suicide, black lady’s son was killed by the cops over a supposedly stolen bike. More slowly we see both of them unravel. The writing is good, I don’t like the end. Black lady steals white lady’s man as punishment. She didn’t want to kill again because she wants to see her son again in heaven. Kind of a weird bittersweet thing about how they were also good friends for a while but idk. I might need to sit with it longer.

Overall pretty good, does a good job making you feel as anxious, paranoid, devastated, and angry as these women were. 6-7/10

I finished 2 books this week and I’m not convinced I liked either of them. I’ll post about them because I have finished like 5 books since the first one I posted and my backlog is like 60 for this year.

I need to try to find a way to trick myself into showering more often. I’m starting to get terrible acne on my shoulders and even as a very greasy teen I never had body acne like this.

I should to my coworker/optometrist about why text sometimes seems like it’s popping out of my phone screen when I’m tired.

I have therapy tomorrow and I feel like I did things that were good for me but I don’t feel better. I’m going to get a bad grade in therapy.
