Floater's diary

A whole kilo of roasted beets would make for a proper toilet painting session later :D Using a lot of electricity for chores is NOT something to feel guilty about. You're not exactly jetting around the globe for pleasure trips every month, nor do you live in a mostly empty but fully airconditioned villa with a lush garden in a desert climate: hot food, cleaning, and a sauna visit are nowhere near a crime against nature.
 
Floater's carbon footprint? Negligible. :)
What a wonderfully productive & healthy day!

True. Can you tell that I experience a lot of shame and disproportionate guilt...? I´m glad that the SMART meetings seem to actually help with that. One of the tools is actually for differentiating between rational and irrational thoughts. Idea is, you can test out the rationality of the thought by forming it into a question. "Is me doing a bunch of chores and enjoying a sauna sesh actually going to cause the power grid to go down and Russia to attack?" -> No, that´s my OCD being annoying again.

I was at a meeting and can tell that I´m a bit tired & wired because I keep worrying if I said something dumb. I didn´t - this is just me observing my stage of mental arousal. Tomorrow I´ll go to the gym even if it´s just to two one bicep curl. I´ve been resting and recovering and greatly enjoying my private burrow, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing, so the gym beckons.

The shortness of breath passed after going to the sauna and taking some Paracetamol, so it was probably just from painting in weird positions. :)

FUCK. Woke up at 12.30 with a splitting headache and shivers. The headache could be tension headache, but the shivers worry me. I'll have to see how I feel after coffee and a meal. A walk is an option to the gym of course but I worry I'll lose my muscles.

Then again, the art photoshoot I mentioned earlier will be postponed to March so that takes some pressure off looking good/my best right now, today. IDK.
 
Yup this is a migraine. Fuck, god damn it. Well, can't expect sobriety to whisk away all of my problems lol. Gonna take anti-inflammatory meds, do breathing exercises, and crawl to the pharmacy for sumatriptan if this won't pass on it's own.

Not having much of an appetite due to the pain but breakfast is chicken soup and a small bowl of cherries + mango. EDIT: and three Karelian pies.

Yeah time to go buy sumatriptan. The pain is so bad that I see flashing lights. Looks like gym won´t be happening today...
 
I fucked the pain and am having a coffee and a bagel. I ordered a toast actually but can't be bothered to make a fuss 😆
 
Dinner: falafels, rice, beets, a marinated egg. Feeling calm & happy. Still some tension in my neck and upper back but much less so than before my workout :)
 
Roasted beets with an herby cottage cheese dip is delicious. Thanks for reminding me to use my break for proper relaxation instead of being on my phone.
 
I feel cranky and tired. I have no inspiration to paint and I already went to a SMART meeting today. Just picked up side plates and mugs from Ikea with an autism assistance person. There are no chores to take care of and it´s still too early to go to sleep. I guess I can pay for the plates and mugs but that won´t take longer than a minute. Can´t food prep because my grocery delivery arrives tomorrow...

Radical idea: subscribe to Netflix and watch Wednesday? It´s been shockingly long since I have watched any streaming service - over three weeks actually! I don´t need to be productive all the time, right? I think I´ll also go to the sauna tonight, I need to wash my hair tonight and could use the relaxation. Oh - I adulted today and renewed my electricity plan. The prices will rise a bit from what they were, but the deal seemed good, and the kW/h rate is static, so it´s probably better than hunt for a seemingly much cheaper plan that might turn out not so cheap if the stock prices fluctuate a lot.

Dinner: chicken soup and rye bread. EDIT: also two tomatoes and a small nugget of blue cheese.

Plan for tomorrow: be up at 9AM to receive the food delivery, do food prep. 11-12 the boss of autism assistance people comes over to make a support service plan for the next year. After that walk to the city center to buy a canvas or two, possibly also oil pastels and fixing spray if the paper store carries any. Be at home by 17 for group, and at 18.30 my friend will pick me up, we´ll have tea and a doggy date for her pup and the pup´s friends. After that I´ll probably be tired. Friday is gym day.

Adulting is the worst and I applaud you. Also: being unproductive for an hour or two is sometimes the most productive thing you can do for your brain.
