I am really excited to be able to use my punching bag again after years of my POTS being too bad to stand for that long! I’m only able to punch for about six minutes at a time, and only if I use a song to pace myself so I only punch on the beat, but oh my gosh it’s such an improvement. Weirdly, it does noticeably lower my temperature and I have no idea why, but I’ll take it!

#the person behind the yarn #not babysitting #not plushies #not yarn #POTS is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome #I have POTS and salt wasting syndrome #which kinda makes the POTS worse but does mean it's pretty much impossible for me to have too much salt #I used to do Krav Maga back when my heart was doing it's job #*its #which sounds metaphorical but I do mean it literally lol #I can't kick as high as I used to but I was also wearing jeans so I'm pretty okay with only chest-high kicks #I will get back to being able to kick someone taller than me in the head #(practicing blocking kicks to the head was a fun day of Krav Maga)#and in the mean time I am SO ENJOYING being able to use a punching bag for cardio instead of a stationary bike #working out for five minutes lowers my temperature into the same range as a possums which is weird #also a weird metric I know but I looked it up earlier for unrelated reasons #and once you make that connection you can't unmake it

Hey, is there a nice but effective way to explain to my coworker that essential oils really can trigger asthma attacks even though they are natural? I’ve tried. She doesn’t put them on in the office any more (mostly), but she put lotion on that has essential oils last week and triggered a (for me) fairly major asthma attack, and came into work today smelling like essential oils. I just...don’t know what else to tell her. I have nothing against essential oils in general as long as people are aware of how to use them safely, but I have asthma and essential oils are one of my like four biggest asthma triggers. I can’t leave the little corner of fresh air my air purifier makes at work when she’s there without wheezing. She told me last week that essential oils are far less likely to trigger asthma attacks than perfume, because they are natural. I just...don’t know what more to do.

#not yarn #not babysitting #the person behind the yarn #she's a kind person in general #and I really do believe she isn't doing it on purpose #and that she thinks she is avoiding asthma triggers for me #but I really don't understand what part of 'essential oils trigger my asthma' is complicated #like yes. all of them. even that one. even that one. that one isn't good for asthma it's actually spectacularly BAD for asthma #and I've asked her multiple times and our boss has asked her #and it's like we're going to have to have a conversation about every individual possible essential oil situation to get her to stop #and I am tired and wheezy #on the plus side the rest of the bread yarn should be waiting for me when I get home

A brief break from crocheting because today is a baking day!! First up: chocolate chip cookies!

#not yarn #not babysitting #i’m baking again!! it’s been a while #baking #cookies

My friend gave me this chain mail ball! It’s like the ultimate fidget toy and now I want to dig out my old chain mail making supplies and make some more of them

#not yarn #not babysitting #chain mail #it’s so fun! and it’s a nice weight to throw #I made friends with a couple who were running the next booth over at my first craft fair #she knits and he does chain mail and paracord bracelets and a few other crafts #I stopped by a craft fair today to say hi and give her some yarn because I'm attempting to destash #and he gave me this chain mail ball! I love it!

One time I was in the car with my mom, stopped at a stop sign. We both happened to look out the passenger side window just in time to watch a man ride past on his bicycle, shaving his already bald head as he rode. It was years ago but periodically I’ll think about it and have to tell someone. Today, that someone is you

#not yarn #not babysitting #the person behind the yarn #to date it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen from a car #What was he doing??? why shave his head while on a moving bicycle????#why shave his head when it was already bald??????#I'm really glad I wasn't alone in the car when it happened #because I'm pretty sure I'd have been more likely to believe I was hallucinating than that I really saw what I did #but my mom was there and saw it too #head shaving bicycle man #there's that post about wondering if anyone ever tells people stories about you but about things they saw you do in public #not stories from people who know you #whoever head shaving bicycle man is the answer is yes

My little brother has a theory that Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and Cam’s “Diane” are about the same event, so that Jolene sings “Diane” and Diane sings “Jolene”

#the person behind the yarn #it's a persuasive theory!#also both songs are fun to sing #this reminds me it's time to do my annual holiday research to decide what sheet music I want to buy myself for christmas #mostly because I can play Jolene but don't know how to play Diane yet #not babysitting #not yarn

Having energy is great and I’ve made this spiced pumpkin cake with salted caramel frosting twice this week! I’m also making chicken and dumplings almost completely from scratch for dinner to celebrate having not-super-hot weather for pretty much the first time since like February

#not yarn #not babysitting #i’m baking again!! it’s been a while #finally cooking again #those are gonna be my cooking and baking tags if y’all want to block them #I will also try to remember to tag everything I cook #food #the chicken and dumplings is only almost completely from scratch bc I’m using precooked chicken #my new meds help the POTS a lot but I still can’t stand still in the same place #for long enough to cook the chicken AND do all the other prep work without blood pressure dropping #will reblog with recipes if anyone wants them

I wear slipper socks that have decorative strings at the top that end in pompoms. Today I found out that if the strings come untied, the pompoms from one foot can loop around the pompoms from the other foot, and I can accidentally tie my feet together mid-step
