Well, everything is on a moving truck to be delivered next week, I am back in Guelph.
It is over. I am out. It is done.

I was sitting here comfortably (mercifully) then got up and shouted:
HOLY FUCK I FORGOT MY WHOLE BODY HURTS.
and then burst out laughing at both the surprise of the pain and my expletive.

Ya know, it just occurred to me, dark humour may be part of our parasympathetic response array.

Horrible thing happens: limbic system flips out.

Terribly inappropriate dark joke: BAHAHAHAHA! Limbic system goes: "whoo! better out than in amirite?" (has nap)

In the continuing quest to boost my mom's nutrition, the nurse said to get her some supplemental protein drinks. Is there a brand that is both sound nutritionally, and tastes good, in Yall's experience? She doesn't really care for Ensure or Boost, but so far, she does like the Owyn chocolate and she especially likes the Atkin's Chai Latte.

@kimlockhartga I use a lot of (mid to high quality) whey protein powder.
•Unfavoured and mixed in natural PB (which keeps it from settling).
•It will spoon stir in juice (vanilla flavoured or plain).
•I add it to smoothies, vanilla or plain.
•And mix vanilla flavoured into tahini or nut/seed butter with honey (and sometimes fun spices) to dip apple chunks in.
•Ooo also mix in with berries and yogurt and top with granola.

In pursuit of a balanced lifestyle, I have started alternating scrolling with my right thumb and my left.

You chill, brother, I got this!

@cohanf well perhaps you can gain "balance" by occasionally getting up, shuffling to the right, and clicking the mouse with yer left hand once in a while.

@cohanf ya know, I worked with a florist who got wrist injury from all the cutting work, she was pretty fubared without that hand.
I immediately thought, "alright, I am working to train both hands in these movements in case one gets out of commission."
And I think have just unconsciously followed that philosophy ever since.

The internet is already off here, and apparently the cell coverage isn't great, so I have been reading a lot of alt text while I wait for photos to load, and sometimes just boop yer delightful alt text descriptions without ever getting to see the images.
In case you thought alt text didn't matter.

@SteveJB interesting! It's just a kinder culture here overall, methinks. 💖

@SteveJB Oof. Nothing like a system that makes it hard to be kind. 🙄

And yes I packed pine cones. Don't judge me! ... though with this crowd, you'd probably judge me rather favourably. 💚

My sheets finally dried, so now I’m watching the movie in bed as it should be.

vlrny,
@vlrny@disabled.social avatar

@DrSuzanne excellent! All is well with the world. :)

As it turns out, I have zero memory of this movie. I guess I wasn’t kidding when I said it was like watching it for the first time. Lol

vlrny,
@vlrny@disabled.social avatar

@DrSuzanne that could be.
I have similar memory problems and end up with weird deja vu on a re-watch that didn't register.

I didn't hear any thunder, but what is that out of your fingers? Sparkles?

What I am most proud of today though is this kick ass blanket fort on the fire escape. Those childhood skills are transferable yo! Covered myself in wet scarves/towels and sat out in the Valerie-made shade, and breeze.
