I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hate hurts that don't even come with an explanation. Hope it clears up quickly, Matt.

I'm sorry about all the other illnesses and allergies, too. I gave in and started hitting the Claritan yesterday, myself.

I am flopping on the couch watching Bar Rescue in between tasks. I have beef in the crock pot. Laundry is going. Now that the bathroom is clean, I can take a long, hot shower.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm still dizzy, but not as bad as yesterday. Antihistamines seem to be helping, though they've also made me sleepy. I made it through a trip to the grocery, but I might fall asleep in my dinner plate.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Dan was watching a really bad Amish horror movie. The hero guy cast a protective circle using lemons. I don't know why.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't do shit today. I was going to do stuff, but instead I lay on the sofa reading for hours.

I rode my stationary bike for 45 minutes today. It's gorgeous around here, so I should really clean my actual bike, pump up the tires, and go places. But I can watch ST:TNG when riding the stationary bike, and that's been winning so far.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have a bunch of leftover anxiety from Friday's therapy session that I haven't been able to shake.

I didn't do much of anything today except I scanned two rolls of film. Except for some of the photos I had the wrong scanner settings, so I trashed them and I'll have to rescan. I wonder if anyone else would ever notice the difference.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm proud of you for doing the hard work, Tom, even though it has tough symptoms as you're going through it.

I bet no one would have noticed, but as an artist myself, I think it's worth putting in the effort even if only you would know. People respond to things in subconscious ways sometimes, even if they don't quite get why they're reacting as they are.

I feel like I did barely anything today, but that's not really so. My big revelation was that I have more things planned than there are literal hours in the day. Without accounting for sleep, hygiene, or sustenance. So that's untenable, and also I should no longer feel guilty about not getting them all done. But also I need to figure out my priorities so I do get done what's necessary.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Tom, I have no idea if I'd notice or not (since I didn't -- and rightly won't, if you're not happy with them -- see your first set of scans), but I respect the shit out of you for working for your vision.

And for shooting film, for that matter, which I love and only do a few times a year (and half the time forget to get developed at all!)

Was he trying to protect himself from spiders or bugs?
