That hypervigilance is hard to turn off when that is one of the ways you had to function within your relationship. The coordinated family photos, the homemade Christmas cards I made and sent all things that made our home but didn’t matter bc it wasn’t income.

Back when I was married my ex’s Dr told him if he couldn’t tell when he was stressed to ask me bc I could tell before he could. But then everyone would be so rude to me when I was anxious or hyper vigilant as if that wasn’t the reason that I learned all of the things he did when he was stressed.

Someone suggested her to me and I’ve learned all of my techniques from her. If you have a local yarn shop then they may have a beginners class but even if not they may be able to help you if you get stumped

Thanks. I hope it works out too!

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

lol I’d be down for the count hahaha

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks. This has, by far, been the weirdest chapter of my life so I’m trying to lean into some things that bring me joy.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

There are so many resources on line. I can send you some links if you want and some recommendations for supplies. No worries if not.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

Ah yes. I’m familiar with nextdoor. I don’t know that I’ve seen it for my area since I moved but I’ll check. Thanks.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah. I found my running group on meetup years ago. I thought I had something sorted for a location etc but it’s fallen through so I’ll see about this. Thanks for the suggestion. I always forget about it lol

O booooo that would def make me so sad.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah I want to start one kinda a specific context though

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 4d

I don’t want to do it online though. I used to be in a knitting group (idk why I said club lol) and I loved it. (I work at the library and they do have some good programs 🙂)

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks. There’s so much going on and I know that it was directed at me but it’s probably just overflow from lots of other things and that’s what happens when you’re in close relationships as ppl grow and change but whew. I was not ready. They weren’t trying to be mean either but whew.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 4d

I never stopped. That’s one of the reasons I’m not gonna probably bother dating. I would have to trust a new person to be careful so I will be safe and when I was married my own husband acted like my very real illnesses were the biggest inconvenience for him. I doubt a new person would care.

It’s never too late to start masking again.

It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it.

Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission.

You’ll also get less colds & flus!

My kids were mean to me for the first time this weekend and I cannot stop crying. This is easily one of the top 5 most hurtful things that’s happened to me as an adult.

I want to start a book club, a knitting club and a group to do yoga with. I don’t know anyone though so it sucks bc that’s as far as I can get with those thoughts.

I almost never use pumpkin but I LIVE for these spices. I substitute sweet potatoes for pumpkin on a regular basis.

Explaining the PSL hype:

Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove have studies that support their ability to support your serotonin and/or dopamine production.

It might actually cheer you up if you sprinkle some spices in your coffee, babes.

I keep thinking about it and when I tell you I have never been in touch with this specific emotion as I have since I moved up here.

My. Head. Hurts. I have some sort of headache most days. Some days it’s sinus pressure. Some days it’s tension/posture from driving. Some days it’s a period/migraine. Sometimes it’s eye strain. After I fell my backs been sore. My tub is not long enough for me. I. Am. Un. Comfortable.

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 15d

Thank you 🥺

Liz @cellizt.bsky.social · 15d

Met with someone I was hoping to be friends with. It was just a barrage of m*croaggress*ons, st*ereotypes, and wild comments. Absolutely not. Sigh.
