Usually Iβm pretty skilled when it comes to eating fish (I blame that on my birth place being North of Norway) and sorting out the bones in my mouth.. but this time it got pass my defenses. That was not fun at all. The adrenaline is going to take itβs toll too. I can still feel the poked spot, ugh π©

In my 32 years Iβve never swollowed a fish bone or got it stuck. Thankfully it was salmon, so if I swallowed it I would probably be fine. If itβs white fish itβs more like needles, but small and bendy fishbones are almost always not life threatening.

A fish bone got stuck in my throat today. Mid swallowing I felt something poke me hard in the back of my throat and Iβd only swallowed it half way, so I had to stop and try not to panic. Then force it all up with the remaining air in my lungs and it was so scary. Iβm so thankful it all went okay.

Itβs so funny how some people think sexuality is a choice.
Itβs almost like they chose to be cis and are suppressing their own sexuality.. and thatβs why they think everyone who are gay are making βbad choicesβ cause in their head they made the βright choice.β
Homophobes are gay.

If itβs a success and I finally get what Iβm supposed to; order beef and maybe Iβll buy a bottle of wine to crack it open when it does happen? And cry of course. Happy tears!

Iβm too sick to do it all in one go, so Iβve cleaned my counters and put on the dishwasher. Now Iβm on break until the dishwasher is done. Then Iβm going to try to cut onions, then rest again before I make them.

1500$ in Specialists, 600$ in a day-light lamp, 700$ on two different headsets, thousands in GP-appointments, thousands in medications and probably 980.000$ in lost wages (14y). Probably 50.000$ in misc over the years.
So around 1.032.200$, give or take. This is not even an exaggerated number.

The amount of spiders Iβve flushed down the toilet is crushing my conscience. Iβm feeling so bad about it, but I canβt do it differently. They canβt live with me and I refuse to walk up stairs to free 2-5 spiders a day. That would send me off the deep end MEβ wise.

Even though these numbers seem high to you, remember that Norway is extremely expensive.
Food for one person is easy 500$ and youβre not eating great. Thatβs just to survive.
13$ movie ticket.
Cheese? 15$ for 500g.
A beer in a bar = 12$.

Today my mother came back from the supermarket and told me that a 190g chocolate was now 7$.
Our income has gone DOWN 15% in 5 years (if you look at the value of our money, even though they increased the total income).

The annual budget for Norway is now public. No increase in pay for any of the low income welfare groups, not even pensions.
While the normal average income for someone born in 93β in Norway is 93.842$, me and thousands are stuck at 25.000$.
Everything else in society has increased in price,

I have some of the same observations about myself. I too take longer to clear an illness. Sometimes a lot longer, but usually, like you, a quarter longer.
Iβve been lucky so far though. Only two encounters with Covid so far. Knock on wood.
