Phew, one for the win column, I guess but that was rough.

Well, let's see how this Patriots' game ends up.

Heartbreaker for UVM in OT.

Nooo,UVM. Come on, Cats.

Switching between scores of the the Patriots' and UVM mens' soccer games.

Finished. The ending was slightly rushed? Underwhelming? But overall the book was enjoyable because all the characters were pretty likeable (minus the villains).

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Woof, either the combo triggered more of an immune response or this year's Novavax did. Slight fever and very very achy. Sleep isn't really happening.

Flu and Novavaxed. Hoping this doesn't trigger my shoulder pain.

I like the book I'm listening to and it's very seasonally appropriate (witchy) but I keep falling asleep to it because of pain and fatigue, and it's due back tomorrow. Will I finish? TBD.

😂😂

I also saw this earlier following the Pats' game:

Tony Romo: “This team is DTF, Jim.”

Romo says the acronym stands for detailed, toughness, and finish.

Found a store brand cinnamon roll that has pretty clean ingredients and decided to treat myself since I don't have energy to bake.

They're not good.

I hate that new pain and fatigue levels have taken away hobbies like baking that brought me pleasure and distraction.

I'm embarrassed I don't know this but do regular food pantries stock pet food or are there dedicated pet food pantries... at humane societies or other places?

Good news! I hope Dr. K gets a similar good report. And cookies.

I just keep collecting pain. I think I have a pinched nerve in my right shoulder. My left was already messed up from a bad vaccine placement. Low back is fucked. Migraine has been flaring. And on and on and....

On a mission to correct people who think voilà is spelled wallah.

Another crap word today. I'd have gotten it in three if I'd gone with my gut but I didn't think they'd... do what they did (trying not to give it away).

I’d like to trade in my entire torso. The lower back and weird flank/abdomen pain is off the charts this week and I have zero pain management for either. Just hugging heating pads and being miserable. Good times.

The Wordle words have been terrible for the past few days.

Because of pain and fatigue, I'm in bed most of the time. Decided to treat myself to new bedding. It arrived and is so flimsy and cheap feeling. I'm so mad. I have to return this junk. And I don't know where to look for warm, quality bedding I can afford.

Being nauseous, anxious, (yet hungry) while your pain is spiking, and having no meds that help any of it, is a special kind of hell on earth.

My pain is so bad. No one has answers or reasonable treatment ideas. It's not even migraine stuff at this point. I'm just not doing okay.

Really disgusted in your support for this. Terrible vote.

Can't wait for the salmon-stuffed face offs! 🐻

This was quite a week to see some folks' true colors and do some unfriending. (None of you. Mostly of Facebook. Surprise, surprise.)

I rely so much on one person to survive and that one person refuses to have a real conversation about what happens when they can't help me anymore. They think there are just magical resources that both exist and that I can afford.

If their help disappeared tomorrow, I'd be fucked.

Murderbot is a delight but you guys weren’t kidding about the episodes being too short.

I thought I was good at holding a grudge. 😂

The Thursday Murder Club is Only Murders in the Building meets A Man on the Inside.

If those tickle your fancy, I'd recommend it. It's a cozy mystery with a pretty great cast.

(Sounds delicious)
