So, the daily writing has dwindled. Just haven't had a lot to say. Just another couple days. Spent a few days feeling like utter shite. The kidney stone(s) must have exited, as the pain has pretty much disappeared. Once that disappeared, then my shoulder decided to lock up, so I spent much of yesterday walking around like:
Fortunately, before bed, I was trying to fold my blanket, forgot about the impairment, let out a yelp, heard a snap-crackle-pop, and 92% of the pain disappeared. It's still a bit stiff and achy today, and range of motion is probably around 75%, but this too shall work itself out.
Just not a lot of thought, except for I'm glad that I have decreased my social-media consumption astronomically. I just really don't have the stomach for it much any more. I spent approximately two minutes on Twitter just before starting to compose this, and it just made me cringe-ily miserable. Yuck.
Things are kind of twisted and discombobulated this week. Just the residual effects of focusing on too many negatives, I suppose. You do get what you think about, right? In order to counteract that, and set things upright again, I'm focusing on things that either bring me joy or do NOT make me sad, pissed, or otherwise agitated.
I really have nothing to complain about at all. We have a warm, sturdy, safe home. We have the absolute best bed ever. We have food, water, and the importantest liquid - coffee. We have beautiful children who are out there in the world living their lives. We have equally beautiful four-legged, two-legged, and no-legged children of assorted species. I have yarn. I have skills. I have new crochet hooks coming in the Amazon tomorrow. We have entertainment. We can read. We can think. We can write. We can speak. We have music. We have art. We have everything good.
In other news, I ate WAY TOO MUCH for lunch today, at 2pm, and couldn't begin to eat my dinner. It will be lunch tomorrow. I had a few pork rinds, some chip dip, and a few Elote almonds instead.
Oh, and this was my blood glucose reading yesterday morning before lunch:
That is TWO POINTS in to a normal reading - meaning below PRE-Diabetic (100 - 125 mg/dL), meaning NOT diabetic (125+ mg/dL). My ass was too impatient to take a reading today before lunch, but I will try again tomorrow, to see if it's trending downward now.
My weight was up this morning to a discouraging point, but by lunch time, around 2pm, it was down to 205.4-ish. That's just the way it goes. Fluctuation is normal, and nothing to panic about. Shit happens.
Remind me to tell you about Jamaica (not the island, the hibiscus flowers) and how I learned how to make agua fresca with that, some lime juice and a bit of liquid stevia. Maybe the next time I make it, I'll record the momentous occasion. I knew about hibiscus because I used to be a mad consumer of Celestial Seasons Red Zinger tea, which had hibiscus and lemon, but I never messed with it until I was watching this last year:
I use mine more as a concentrate, but it's pretty much like how she do, only without the sugar, or fancy pitcher :) So, yeah, someday soon, I'll show you how I make mine. Riveting shit.
I think that's enough for now.
SIXTEEN DAYS TO GOAL!

That's it.
