green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@mawr @zebratron2084 sorry, was not distress on my part--was being serenaded by Sad Cat (TM)! XD I'm doing okay, though a little melancholy and a little irritable, a result of 1. donut 2. nearly getting heatstroke yesterday 3. definitely exhausting myself yesterday. *hugs* are always good though! ;)

much distress
so sadness
meow

good morning! I slept for like 12 hours & feel much better.

okay yeah no, I think I'm heading to sleep now. my "feeling like ass" quotient is rising far too rapidly.

I did the thing but it was warmer than expected and I left early, and my head hurts and I feel pretty awful. but I did the thing. I will probably go to sleep early.

@thefishcrow that looks... tastynowait correct. :D

@Oneironott many many many happy thoughts to you! :D

okay, Yard Work Friday is even more painful with Pseudo-Head Cold going on. uuuggggghhh DayQuil time.

@emilyaviva@mastodon.social hi hon! thank you again for dinner and pokemanning, it was awesome! :D <3

@kara_dreamer@witches.town I tried a pacifier for a while, which worked okay for me (until I lost it). I also bought a pretty hard plastic chew-ring necklace thing specifically made for stimming, which was okay, but too hard to be really enjoyable, and too textured to clean easily. Ideally I'd like to make my own extra-chewy beef jerky, but Idunnohow. XD

put out peanuts and Cheerios for the crows on the porch railing--it's amusing to watch the fledglings trying to figure out "is this food??? how do I this food????"

@kara_dreamer@witches.town yeah, it gives me much immature glee. XD I think I ping on him because of his body type, but over time his face has become irredeemably goofy to me, and his association with *spit* Steven Moffat *spit* has tarnished my opinion of him.

okay so I dreamed that Bandersnatch Crumblybuns was vigorously seducing Tom Hiddleston and, uh. my subconscious evidently finds that scenario entirely plausible and quite entertaining to watch. SHUT UP.

@Fuego I try to research restaurants ahead of time; I can usually get at least some information about how gluten-savvy they are from Teh Internets, and make an informed decision from there. but a lot of the time, I have to just say "oh... pizza? do they have GF crusts? no... well, that's okay, I'll pass." I've gotten better about it with time, but it still bugs me sometimes. :/

@Fuego I've learned that big chain restaurants--Red Robin, Outback, PF Chang's, Blue C Sushi--usually at least understand what "gluten" is, and if you say you're allergic usually have good options available. small, independent places... it's a potshot, whether they have reasonable options or if their response will be "well, you can have a salad... with no dressing..."

@Fuego *nodnod* I got dinged several times when I was first diagnosed, and had to learn several pitfalls to avoid. something that works for me: arsenicum album, a naturopathy medication, which believe me I HATE THAT IT WORKS BECAUSE NATUROPATHY IS NOT SCIENCE. but if I "cushion" myself by taking it first, I can cheat with only minor side effects; and if I get glutened accidentally, taking it in 10-15 minutes short-circuits my reaction to tolerable levels. :P

@kara_dreamer@witches.town basic knitting is really super easy! making scarves is a breeze! ... says the person who had to have somebody else show me how to get it started and tie it off at the end--but the bits in the middle, where you're just going back and forth, are dead simple! anything more complex than that is past my level of expertise. XD

@Fuego yikes! *shudder* I only "cheat" once or twice a year, these days, because I hate dealing with the aftereffects more than I want the damn donuts--hearing that intestinal surgery could be a possible result makes me want to cheat even less! dealing with accidental glutening is one thing, but doing it intentionally is just too much risk for me nowdays--even if I do really miss Krispy Kremes. :\
