That's looking really good.
Hope you're doing okay. Been way too long since I saw you. Maybe can change that soon.

Also don't really want to undo all the work I've done since August.... But that will be a temp setback if anything.... Sorry, not sorry for the kinda vague posting.

One the one hand, knowing will be good, even if it will complicate things a fair bit... Though I have effectively also been self treating for a while...so adjusting will be doable... GP is looking to rule out a few other things as well... Knowing me it could be both... Need to try and keep notes.

I've got some tests coming up in a few weeks which might shed some light on some things. They require me to actively have things I don't normally have to prevent a false result... Hate to say they might actually be on to something. Day 2 and feeling it... Need to do this for the next eight weeks 😞🤢

No #poolselfie today, as given the sun is out, took one on the way back. Been twice this week, which given I am pretty fatigued from the annual trip to #SciFiWeekender is pretty good going. Definitely having to take it easy otherwise ahead of the return of @sfsfsocial.bsky.social on Saturday

I've been lax at posting pool selfies so far this year... But I am going more often than not... I promise!!
You'll also maybe note the new swimsuit... It was needed...for reasons.

Depending on swelling compression gloves can help. Mine are a lifesaver some days. The little hand hottie warmer things can be a godsend as well. It can vary so much though... and I really hope you find something that works for you soon, Jim

It really is!!

It's warm, comforting and looks appetising. Perfect with some good crusty bread (which unless I make some I never have in hah) although I hear that a grilled cheese on toast is amazing too (not something I have tried though)

StormVixen @stormvixen.bsky.social · Feb 11

Today's soup. Scotch broth. One of my all time favorites. I love pearl barley and the combination of the lamb and spices makes for a really tasty mix.

Executive dysfunction is high today... but I did manage to send an email chasing up the adaptations that were agreed nearly three years ago now and have yet to be completed...

StormVixen @stormvixen.bsky.social · Feb 10

Managed the pool this morning, but not managed to get warm after the trip back... So it's a bowl of lovely hot soup with crackers for dinner. Cream of tomato. Comfort food...

A white bowl sits on a desk full of hot and red cream of tomato soup. Long rectangular Sea salt and rosemary crackers sit on the edge of the bowl. Spoon ready to go...

Managed to get in for Aqua this morning as a last minute. Need to try and make sure when I don't that I do something else instead...

StormVixen @stormvixen.bsky.social · Jan 28

Post pool selfie.
V glad that I have a new swimsuit on the way! Almost perfect timing!

Also I think this year is going to have to be the year I get my lovely wonky brain's peak acheivements out of my head. Very unlikely Mashups. I don't need suggestions, I already have hundreds - it's where my brain lives... some of them need inflicting on the rest of the world!

I went to the pool this morning, but swimming didn't happen thanks to an IBS flareup en route... will try again tomorrow. Did have a great massage this afternoon though which is good for the fibro.

(my wider team are responsible for a lot of analysis, plus back end of some very specific systems) the nicest thing though is that it just isn't seen as weird. The database engineer/dev I work with is a great lass, and we both recognise that it ISN'T the norm... though wish it were.

StormVixen @stormvixen.bsky.social · Jan 27

My wider team at work is a tech team (not specifically dev, but we do some code - and lots of analysis/reports) and actually was really impressed that the gals outnumber the guys - and I know in the dev teams it's a more even split than I've ever seen. Actually a REALLY pleasant change

Well, I think that given what I've seen today that it may be time to mix things up and look at pastures new in terms of my event schedule...
Should have trusted my gut sooner I think.

At the pool, doing my thing.

And I think can safely say I smashed that last aquazumba.
