The bugs get bad when the soybeans are harvested. (I don't know why exactly).

Tried to sit on the porch but was swarmed by small biting insects. They are tiny but feel like a nettle! Frost can't come soon enough

I am slowly working on cleaning out the cupboards here in my parents' house. This means that the sheep are getting treats like old flour, pancake mix, tapioca pudding mix.

Hey did you know that eating some protein and fat and carbs and salt will make you feel better if you are me.

2 seizures in 2.5 years and many doctor appointments. No one has really explained to me what "seizure threshold" means. lol

"Wayward", Mae Martin's new show, was a bit disappointing. It fell apart at the end. I still enjoyed it overall, it's the sort of flawed but interesting show that is fun to try and fix in your head.

I've been very irritable lately and it's largely for good reason, but also I just remembered that I am on a med that has irritability as a side effect. It's a med I have to take forever because it's for preventing seizures.

Really digging the new Neko Case album.

Witness me, I asked for help today at the Tractor Supply, loading feed for the animals. It helped that it was not busy.

it is too fucking hot outside!!

if you wanna pretend you actually watched a link somebody sent you, just reply with "WOW, Unreal". Works perfectly for any kind of video.

Aw I finished Buffy! I really love the ending.

Proud of myself for making good choices today. I am eating some food and porch sitting.

gonna get high and listen to comedy #chronicIllness

Ooof lots of pain today so far. It's too hot out, 78 F / 26 C. October 2nd in Minnesota.

High pain day. I managed to do all the animal chores, some laundry, the dishes.

I vividly remember this interview from 10 years ago, she was a mere 77 then, on Seth Meyers www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E_I...

If you need some good news, Judy Blume is still alive, aged 87.

Just watched the trailer for Pillion and omg my days of shipping Alexander Skarsgård with scrunkly brown haired subs who don't know when to shut up are certainly coming to a middle youtu.be/iC9xlgRBOdI

Farewell to Jane Goodall. What a legend.

It is probably the vaccine I had; I feel pretty sick today. My body is very dramatic.

Slept well but woke up in Big Pain. Going to try and rest a lot today.

What's frustrating about wellness culture is it's such a mix of helpful things and harmful garbage. Diet and exercise can be very important for how you feel and your health, but 97% of chronic illnesses are NOT preventable with them, to pick out one bizarre thing I heard yesterday.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Got another vaccine yesterday (Shingles), yay for the wetware update

Re Riyadh Comedy festival 🤯

Bee on a pink dahlia

I'm watching Mae Martin's new show on Netflix, called "Wayward." It is a creepy horror show and I am into it.

Entire car load of dishes donated today! yay!

84 F / 29 C today in late September. :(

I got lots of good sleep last night!! yay. Might go back to bed in a bit.

People don't know how sick i am and it's frustrating.

I love u Buffy

Bad asthma today and it's kicking my ass.

Clever use for wind turbines at the end of their service life: China recycles retired wind turbine blades into desert barrier walls share.google/skNJ6DZQEctP...

Seems clear to me that living alone makes my anxiety worse.

Buffy season 7! I love the feeling when the group grows with the arrival of 3 potential slayers.

Oh my gosh, I actually had a nice visit with my brother and his family tonight. What a relief.

My brother and some of his family are visiting my folks. I called him up and said I need a break and am staying at the farm today. Good for me!!

Big Tired today!

BIBLICALLY ACCURATE HOUND

I have so little memory of season 7 of #btvs, which is fun for this rewatch. I'm enjoying it, it's funny how the tone changed so dramatically with the season change.

Today I have thrown every med i have at my pain.

Oh, hey, happy Stanislav Petrov Day! Never doubt that every single person makes a difference.

I paid off my credit card this year and my last outstanding big bill is for the hospital. It's about 2400 dollars. I obviously do not have this much money. I tried doing the financial assistance form but failed at it, and the money is now past due.

Practicing saying things that I want. I want better more supportive furniture in the house, and to get rid of all the broken furniture.
