I got the staples taken out of my head today. Everything is healing up nicely. This might end up a cool scar, from mid-forehead curving around just at my hairline all the way down to the bottom of my left ear.

Holy crap. I wrote a little haiku about my grandma and it's gotten more likes than anything I've ever put on social media. She passed away in 2019 at 98 and she appeared as a moth shortly after. Thank you everyone for the likes and support! It's really encouraging me to keep going! 🫶🏻🤟🏻

For Helen
she came back as a moth
small and brown, she sat on my
hand as I cried

when I make a cuppa
it's not fancy
the water is microwaved
the cup is plastic
and the teabag is cheap
I have a habit of steeping it
far too long and
squeezing out
every drop of flavor
not to be cheap, but
for a stronger taste
I know it's "wrong" but
don't really care

I'm finally getting to tell a doctor about the hand tremors I've had for 20 years and the memory problems and confusion that are making me feel slow and stupid. I'm afraid of what they mean in combo with the neuropathy and a few other symptoms I don't want to talk about. I've done my research.

Since the Chiefs sucked so fantastically this year, the Seahawks are my team. Have they ever won a Super Bowl?

Undercut update: a serrated steak knife doesn't work well or fast, and kind of hurts. I'm not willing to attempt the dull 8" knife, and there are no other knives. I'll wait until I get paid again in two weeks so I can get proper clippers. Or I'll continue to hack at it with the leg shaver.

I can't do this undercut with this cheap electric leg shaver - my hair is too long and I have no scissors. But I do have knives. And scissors are simply two knives working together in harmony, after all. Find the right knife and we're on! I'm feral in all the fun ways!

If I had an electric kettle, a mini freezer, and something to heat up dino nuggets, I'd never leave my room. (I have a private bathroom.)

It's snowing?! I need a better weather app. This one didn't say a damn thing about snow!

I'll get back to the poetry shortly. This was my first day without the oxy or edibles. I'm trying not to rush anything. It's strange - there seems to be less pain when I'm off the pain meds. I don't understand that.
So - they fucked up my hair. Do I attempt a proper undercut or leave it be?

Why not everywhere? Let's fuck em up!
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I want to learn to play a little music. So instead of a guitar, I'm going to buy a ukulele.

At least this is the pain of healing instead of dying, like a burst aneurysm killing me. Sometimes I hate being positive and just want to wallow in my misery with all the drugs. All of them!

I'm still here and healing. Two days after I got home from the hospital with my oxycodone, my Delta-8 shipment arrived. The combination of the two drugs is interesting, but quite good if you just want to sleep for stretches of 12+hours. The bad part comes when the oxy runs out. 1/2
