Artie thanks for the hugs! Your Afghan is beautiful and I think you should definitely open your store again.

Happy Thanksgiving couch! Even if you don't celebrate, I have some extra banana pudding.

I've never really gotten into tempeh--is it good fried like that?
The only way I've ever eaten it is either sautéed in some olive oil or tossed in some olive oil and baked in the oven. Then add some salt. Either way it turns out crispy and lovely. I have a new air fryer so I'm going to try cooking it like that instead.

Beautiful afghan Artie!

I survived another awkward family gathering. Now watching movies to recover.

Everything that is borderline or too low or too high - quite a number of results? So far ALL of them have fatigue as a result.

Bleep. I was carrying hot noodle soup when my hands either tremored or sudden muscle weakness. I tossed the bowl aside or it wouldn't just be a mild burn on my hand. Tripped the fuse box. The extension strip powering the stove, kettle and blender is probably screwed. Unplugged it from the main etc.

I can't get an earlier appointment with my endocrinologist. I tried etc.

My landlady is going to be so upset with me... I already triggered her horrendously with the terrible crisis that almost landed me inpatient. No crisis shelter etc, psych ER being crowded and not enough beds etc.

I'm feeling like my parents are right and the real me is useless, disgusting and pathetic. That moving out is a bad idea because I can't survive because I'm useless. That any friend of mine will get sick of me and I'll lose them.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this, QM. I really hope that your landlady is understanding. From everything I've read, it makes sense that these symptoms would emerge now that you are in a place of relative safety. Please try to be kind to yourself.

Hugs, QM. Accidents happen--I hope your landlady will be understanding. If it's just an extension cord/surge protector (not sure what you call them there, but I assume you mean the kind of the where you can plug in multiple cords, and then it plugs into the wall), those aren't expensive.

I don't know if she'll be understanding. I know I triggered her badly already.

The kettle plug, stove plug, night light plug, blender plug all were wet. Have to wait a day or two (after gentle drying with cloth) before it's safe to test.

Money is tight for her, she also has made some comments to her other friends about people who have more money and resources than her. Which include me.

Plus she's made some comments several times now, about me... As she's made many such comments about other survivors, I know those comments mean I'm not a "good" survivor in her eyes now.

I hope to fix some of my issues with a better diet. More iron etc.

2 abnormal thyroid test results contradict each other?

- HIGH TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
- HIGH free Thyroxine

Well, I just got a text from L cancelling my session today because she's feeling a little under the weather. Hopefully it's just she had too much fun last night celebrating Thanksgiving and nothing more serious. She next to never cancels, and I don't want her to have to work when she's sick, so I can't really be anything but understanding about it.

But dang it, she took away one of my remaining termination sessions!!! And I am bummed. Maybe I should just start figuring out how to work through this on my own without her help. It's totally in the back of my mind what has happened to other people here where they thought they had x amount of time to wrap up but then the t pulled that rug out from under them. I guess we'll see what happens next week.

I'm really sorry, Artie. I would say, could you just add on another session, but I know you liked the idea of ending on Dec. 31.

Or, you could pretend to be Orthodox--January 14 is Orthodox New Year, January 7 Orthodox Christmas.

January 6 is the Epiphany, a time of revelation and putting away Christmas decorations (=old life).

The Epiphany would be the perfect time to have an epiphany!

The stained glass hat pattern is a bust. Not working at all. Found a different pattern for a puff stitch slouch hat, that I'm working on now, that seems to be working just fine. Taking a break to eat lunch. Pic later today!

D got her second shot today, which is good (and she handled it really well). But now there's news of a new "variant of concern." And I'm really struggling to focus on the positives of D being vaccinated vs. thinking maybe it's all completely futile (including the booster I'll be getting Monday), if it turns out this variant can get around immunity... Like, can't we just have some time to celebrate a victory and some relief and a sense of maybe returning to semi-normal for a brief while before the next thing hits?
