Tell us all about it here!

I have a sore neck and I've had it off and on for a couple of weeks. I probably need more sleep but I think it's also time to replace my pillow. What I have is too flat for side sleeping. I wonder if I'm clenching my jaw at night or something.

We are in the same position. I neee a better pillow to help me stop grinding my teeth.

Freaking out more than usual, just because of the everything of it all

<33

I hope you feel better!

I stabbed myself in my own earlobe when taking out my earrings last night, it hurt like fuck, it bled, and it's been low-key aching most of the day while I've periodically checked in with it to make sure it doesn't get infected.

It should be fine as I'm the kind of idiot who's done this to myself before, but that type of pain always triggers a nausea response in me so that's been fun to deal with today. :/

Pretty good, all things considered. Bought myself some really cute seasonal patterned face masks; I've grown so used to face masks that I even wear them in the car now. Just find them strangely comfortable. Hmmm. Other than that, getting some writing done for Frankenstein/Igor inspired smut. Heh heh. Planning a very ~sexy~ Halloween this year. ;D

I think one of my neighbours just ruined their dinner. It smells like horribly burnt pizza on my balcony.

Was in 'Jury Selection' for 9 hours today. Wasn't selected, and thank gods, as the people who *were* were whisked off to the next town over (30 mins away) to start the trial.

The defense lawyer was a bit smarmy and, in my mind, sort of pushing his agenda with the questions he asked to 'weed out' jurors he didn't want/did want. The accused, a guy named Dale (rape, sodomy, theft, drug dealer, previously charged with domestic abuse) sat up at the table with his other lawyer and made little comments and faces.

It was bizarre, tedious, and uncomfortable, and my fellow humans are complete and utter idiots. Now i have a headache.

...sodomy is a criminal offence where you are???????

No, but if done on an unwilling individual, it is.

Meh. I'm ok but I'm worried about the fires here (NorCal). We had a crazy lightning storm a couple of days ago and it started fires everywhere, and resources are thin because of Covid (a lot of prison inmates fight the fires and Covid is ravaging Cali's prison population now). I just worry about every aspect of it.

I'm trying to distract myself though, for my own mental health, so I've been looking at fresh vegetables that are in season now, and trying new recipes with them. I bought a pound of fresh peas and cooked them with a little basil and butter, and they were the best peas I'd ever eaten. I bought another pound and will be making a salad with them, using butter lettuce and a dressing seasoned with fresh tarragon, parsley, and chervil (I've never used chervil before), with shaved ricotta salata (a cheese I've never eaten) on top. I'm serving this as a side dish for a pan fried duck breast sandwich, and a chilled sparkling rosé as the beverage. Petit fours (from the local Italian grocery deli, lol) for dessert. I think it will be a great meal, and a nice distraction from the fires.

I have family around Santa Rosa who could have to evacuate at any given time (one lost a house in the 2017 fires), and other relatives in the south bay who get to breathe smoke all day. It sucks. I'm in the not-on-fire-Midwest but it's still stressful, not only because of family but watching places I've visited burn.

Yeah, I'm in San Jose and it hasn't been too smoky today but I'm seeing new smoke plumes this evening. I hope your family stays safe. <3

I kinda accidentally wound up practicing korean a lot today and wondering if I'll wind up more fluent in Korean than in my literal first language: gàidhlig (scottish gaelic)
I am already waaaaay more fluent in English, I even tend to think in english when I think in words, and that's kinda sad tbh.

Wow!

I only took Irish Gaelic in school (college and it was a while ago), so different, but it's cool to see a native speaker in the wild (at least for me, lol) . I always find it super interesting how people end up thinking/dreaming in different languages. Which do you regularly use/in which capacity?

In effect I'm basically a 'native english speaker' with extra steps. I only very rarely speak gàidhlig. Though gàidhlig logic does sometimes get into my english and I know one person who knew I was ESL based on my accent.

I'm more fluent in English than in my first language. It makes me feel a little sad, so I'm reading and watching more things in my first language so I don't lose it.

Got a new med from my neurologist that has ended the bad migraine. So now just have a sinus headache. I can live with that.

Still tired from lack of sleep and being sick for a week and taking all the meds. Going to bed early.

Also, since I haven't felt like listening to anything the past few days, I've spent way too much time on Reddit.

Edited 2020-08-21 02:54 (UTC)

Damn, I'm glad you've finally found something to kick aside that migraine! I've had severe headaches and migraines in the past but never so bad as how you've been describing, I can't even imagine the pain you've been in. Hopefully your sinuses clear up, and you feel better soon! <33

A little achey from a root canal a couple days ago. Spent the morning crying because of the world. Thought about sci-fi a little bit, now I'm watching a streamer and will switch to the DNC when it comes on. So like, mixed.

Not bad. Had a successful Zoom meeting in the morning, did some work in the afternoon, and now I'm just chilling. Also, I got my AC fixed, so I no longer have to shroud my house in darkness and take cold baths to cool off.

I had a meeting about the pre-apprenticeship classes I might be taking. I found out the physical tryout is going to be competitive because there's just not enough spots for the people who signed up and I'm freaking out a little bit about that. ;;

I'm meeting an old uni friend this afternoon - in like ten minutes, in fact - assuming she doesn't stand me up. I don't want to be too cynical, but she did stand me up the last time we made plans, so idk.
I'm really anxious... and overdressed. I let my anxiety guide my dressing decisions, and now I look like I'm going to the opera instead of a café 😓

SA - She came, it was great, we'll hang out again when she has space between medical appointments, and it turned out that she had also let anxiety drive her dressing decisions so we were pretty well matched ♥
