Floater's diary

Didn't make it home before silence so I'll clean the cage tomorrow. Supervising Sir Kobold's playtime, feeling happy and accomplished. Can't wait to get to shower & sleep.
 
Good news: I did get auras at the gym but no achy migraine has arrived. I am clumsy but it could be from tiredness.

Took a shower, moisturized, brushed my teefers. Finished the portrait of Nera. Not 100% happy with it, but all works have to be finished eventually, aquarels when the paper can't hold onto any more layers.
 
I did have to look up Sir Kobold & I'm so far out of the loop, it's ridiculous. I laughed at myself though & that's not a bad thing. I have never watched Star Wars. :blush5:
I hope you are asleep by now. That gym session sounds insanely good :)

"Kobold", as I referred to Heikki, is an European fae creature, an earth spirit. Llama used it of Heikki and it stuck. I'm out of the SW loop clearly, as I didn't even know the word makes an appearance there!

Feeling anxious as I just Googled the kcals of my BK meal... 1350. I guesstimated ~1200 so not terribly far off, but yeah. Beating myself up: should have gotten a burger, not a meal. But I'll aim for 90 mins of aqua jogging tomorrow. Can't really burn out eaten kcals but increasing the CO part of CICO isn't entirely useless either.

The Star Wars mention came up first when I googled it.
Stop beating yourself up, buddy. What's done is done.

You are right of course!

Can't sleep. I can tell it's one of those nights. Got up and made coffee and will draw until I get too tired to do that.

Edit: had five almonds, a 50g chocolate lollipop and my minimum dose of long effect ADHD med. I ate a proper meal an hour ago so hopefully the choc and almonds are enough to ensure the med travels smoothly to my stomach to join the previous meal.

I just realized that it's almost full moon and the week prior I usually have cravings for high kcal foods. Probably hormonal. Won't mess with my long term progress.

I drew a comic about how it feels like to have a menstrual cycle as a guy. Just a quick thing, not my best work artistically but it works great for therapy. Also: I'm building up a portfolio of my therapy drawings so I can take it with me to the art therapist the trans clinic told me is going to interview me next time.

Drawing helped me wind down so I think I'll sleep or at least cozy up and rest.
 
I slept a little bit in the morning. Autism assistance person came at 10:30, I cleaned up Heikki´s cage and did other chores and had breakfast (a banana and my last bowl of beet soup). Gotta get a new batch of soup going today, but first I´ll have some coffee and go aqua jogging. Just for 30 mins, can´t overdo things while sleep deprived, but I´m happy nevertheless. Some headache, but I´ve decided to only take NSAIDs in an absolute emergency because I want to give my stomach lining a break!
 
Heck yeah! Rent & bills all timed or paid, feeling generally accomplished albeit dog tired. Going to empty the dishwasher and make myself a cup of coffee before heading out.
 
I didn´t end up heading out because I wrote a blog text; and now it´s too late to make it to the pool. With my pensioner card I have to be there by 4PM.

Hungry. I´ll have a banana and four almonds as a snack and get my next batch of soup started.
 
Next batch of soup is as follows:
- a pack of bacon, sliced
- three medium rutabaga, chopped
- a pack of cherry tomatoes
- 2dl of soy mince
- a can of white beans
- spices

Once it has simmered for 45 mins, I´ll add in 0,5 dl of bulgur, some smetana, and simmer for 10 more minutes. No minced beef in this batch, I need a break from it.
 
Had to cave in and took my NSAID. Migraine was so bad that muscles in my _face_ were rock hard. Not just jaws, but cheeks too.

Heikki already had his run for today so thank God I can just rest.

EDIT: good news though: I read up on NSAID induced headaches, which are possible as a result of NSAID use, and the symptoms don't match mine. So I woke up to the issue in time and this should pass soon 🙏
 
Dinner: small can of tuna, congee with sauerkraut

Edit: feeling ravenous so I also had a pear and five almonds. If I need to eat more, it's gonna be more pears. But hopefully I'll fall asleep.

You really must have needed that sleep! It sucks that you keep getting migraines.
