So the pain from my wrist is still here, but my elbow also started hurting the other day, and now my shoulder hurts too. 😮‍💨 Good thing I don't have much to do.

Man, I wish one of my special interests wasn't nuclear disasters.😅 I almost can't help but watch stuff about Chernobyl. Found a documentary I hadn't seen, and it's fascinating. But oof. I'm gonna have nightmares.

Fuck you, rejection sensitivity dysphoria.

I WILL NEVER STOP TYPING MOTHER FUCKER - dashare.zone ADMIN

Usually Saturday is my cleaning day, and I do have a floor to vacuum and dishes to do and shoes to put in the closet... But y'all. It's too cold today. I wanna just curl up and be warm. My wrist (and weirdly, my elbow) are still achy. So I kinda want to take a break from drawing too.

Wow. I slept through the night, woke up at 8:30, and ended up falling back asleep. I will be getting my day started now...😅

I cannot be stopped

Back with another bird! My wrist cooperated and let me finish it today. 😁

Wrist feels better today, but it's still wonky. I woke up with a headache. I think the rain is messing with me a little. It's mostly gone now.

Gonna sleep with my wrist brace on and hope it keeps things under control. Don't wanna wake up with a swollen hand again. My kitty is here so I can pet him and feel better too.

My wrist is killing me today. Tried to draw, tried to play video games, got my wrist splint on, been squeezing my stress ball... IDK what else to do.

Stupid carpal tunnel woke me up, not that I don't ordinarily wake up at 5:30 AM, but usually my hand isn't swollen and throbbing. Hoping I doze back off.

How is my day going?

Praise be to St. DeVito 💜

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Cleaning? ✅ Sidequests? ✅ Fed myself and took breaks? ✅ I am in the tub, my water is orange and smells like lavender. I will be putting on my comfiest pjs and maybe getting a snack later, but the Do Stuff initiative will be taking a short respite for a few days. 😁

Gotta clean the sink and the bottom cabinet, then the floor, and the bathroom will be done! My window, mirror and glass surfaces in there are fuckin SHINY. If I've learned nothing from watching cleaning videos on YouTube, it's that ultra fine microfiber cloths are the secret. To hell with Windex.

Awake, but my back and shoulders are still real mad. My right hand feels swollen and my wrist still hurts too. I didn't sleep the best, had a hard time getting to sleep in the first place which I thought would've been easy given how exhausted I was...I am in no hurry to jump into things today.

I feel excellent despite being mostly unable to move. I Did Stuff today. Gonna Do Stuff tomorrow if I can get myself moving. Thursday I plan to do as close to nothing as possible. My blood sugar was the lowest it's been since I've been checking it. 110. So close to normal. What a good day.

I'm so stupid. Just got up and swept the floors and scrubbed the toilet since I was in there anyway... My back hurts SO bad. I don't even know what I'm trying to prove at this point, there's no reason I can't just rest and do this stuff tomorrow. I just can't sit still.

I am beat. I almost never take pain medication but I had to, my wrist is throbbing and I know if I get up my whole body is gonna hurt. I almost wanna take a nap. 😩 Too late in the day for that though. ...I still keep getting up and trying to do stuff though. I ought to glue myself down.

Broke out my little washing machine so I could wash all my throw rugs while I tackle the back room. Of course I installed the tap water filter I got last night and now my hose doesn't fit on the faucet nicely. But it still works. Wonder if I could get a blanket in there?

Cleaning out the living room closet, found two big bags of clothes. Threw out half, but the other half is genuinely cool stuff that still fits! Got several comfy shirts that I can work into my rotation. And like, a normal pair of pants. I have an identical pair, no idea why one ended up in storage.

I woke up still feeling tired, partially because I woke up like three or four times last night from absolutely bizarre dreams. Breaking pottery to reveal an eye inside that makes everyone react like they're crazy. Getting a piece of a giant turnip as a gift for being obedient at a military school.

Apartment is clean, bed is made, floors are done, soup is on for tonight, time to actually relax and enjoy my Sunday. 😁

It's another "wake up at 5:30 in the morning to pee and then fail to fall back asleep" day These are becoming a little too common. My back still hurts. I'm awake but I'm not gonna move in protest.

I did SO many things. I am a puddle of goo now and I gotta wake up in the morning. Bed!

I like to picture my back room just sitting there with tears welling in its non-existent eyes, watching me clean the rest of the house. Watching me take an hour to sort through the stuff on my living room table. Knowing I don't give a damn about it.

If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

Was trying to have a Do Stuff day, kinda wore myself out super fast. I guess I am still technically in the post-chemo week ick. I slept super late though, wanna get some stuff accomplished today since I've got help coming tomorrow.

Bedtime thunderstorm let's GOOOOO

Had an okay day. Always good to get the chemo pump removed, then I can start to feel normal again. Blood sugar is doing surprisingly well. Hope it stays there. Tomorrow I'll...do a few things, but try very hard not to overdo it. Hopefully I don't sleep all day.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

I made ramen, because aside from that protein bar and a handful of little salami slices I kinda hadn't eaten today. Got home from chemo and just passed out. No idea when my friend left. Ramen made me feel less queasy so that's good. Maybe I won't puke this time. I'm gonna get some Jell-O too.

I am grumpy and tired. I was doing okay this morning but then I went to the place that makes me feel sick, grumpy and tired. I'm hot as well, chemo always makes me overheated. Honestly wish I did not order groceries today but I was running out of stuff.

My MRI was good actually, in spite of the way it was written. When cancer cells are active they show up white on the scan, when they're being treated they turn black. Both my metastases are dark, with only a small ring of white remaining. If it grew it was probably from cancer dying off.

Starting to get really annoyed at the questions at doctors appointments about being depressed. Yes I'm depressed. I have cancer. I'm stuck in my apartment 95% of the time and I only get to leave for doctors appointments where they ask if I'm depressed. Are you planning to do anything about it?

There's a young dude across from me with both parents. Maybe in his late teens/early 20s. He's getting the "red death" chemo. I feel pretty bad for him. I got really hungry so I ate a protein bar thing. I don't have my insulin, but oh well. My blood sugar is gonna suck today anyway.

Put my Switch in my bag so I'd have it to amuse myself with because I couldn't find the book I'm reading. It was just in a weird pocket. I am just happily reading. I got to move when I sat down to a corner seat so I'm not staring anyone down today. I still feel blah but that's okay.

No one cooks umber right

please continue to share your art despite it all

I gotta be up and ready to go by 8:30 tomorrow for chemo. Not really looking forward to that, but I'm showered and my clothes are out already. Still gotta pack my bag up, but that's no big deal, I can wait till the morning. I'm tired, hopefully sleep comes soon.

Quote posting because Bluesky seems to wanna eat my thread.

I woke up and forgot to check my freaking blood sugar and then I ate lunch and forgot my insulin. I've done both now, but...ugh.

Woke up to pouring rain. Haven't seen the pest control guys yet, they might not come today. We're under a tornado watch and a severe thunderstorm warning. Today's gonna be a chill out day. It's so dark in here I thought I woke up at night.

That flippin magpie took me three hours. 😅 I was gonna draw so many birds this evening, but he kinda took it out of me. I think it turned out pretty good though. Tomorrow, as they say, is another day. Considering it's my last before chemo, I'll have to try and accomplish something I guess. Or not.

Sometimes you just gotta draw Marilyn Monroe as a lizard.

I made my konjac rice and it's actually quite nice! A little squishy, but it smells like rice when it's cooking and it goes nicely with my little packet of Indian food. I'm glad it's not the same texture the noodles were! It was pricey though...
