ME/CFS. I like making things out of felt.
washing the dishes is SO hard for me and I can only do it twice per week max (in the meantime I use paper bowls and rinse the pan out with boiling water) so I just wanted to note today's achievement :)

I can't fucking do this. what is the point. I literally can't even eat the things I can get ordered. I use all my energy to get outside to collect them. any money I get is just wasted.

I managed to get outside for just a couple of minutes before it got dark. I just wish I lived in a bungalow with no stairs and no steps outside.
anyway, it was cold, windy and frizzy. real november weather.
so I took photos of the last bits of colour before the winter greyening!

tinned stuff: tomatoes, beans, carrots, potatoes. plus ham stock, honey, olive oil & marjoram.
result: all of the ham taste went into the garbanzo beans only?! not sure how that works. so it's like... bacon beans with a fairly bland tomato sauce 🤷🏻♀️
nice to have something substantial anyway.

anyway, look at the baby! seems very skittish now and left as soon as it became apparent it couldn't come back inside. hopefully it found somewhere warm 🤞🏻
I thought about asking for donations to buy a little outdoor shelter for it but I cannot even imagine how much trouble I'd be in 😔

new development. if I go outside and don't bring food it gets stroppy and hides under the table. so that kind of works out okay? as long as I'm not near the table.

I have ordered a new heating pad! I do still need money for just... everything though. food, toiletries, cleaning stuff etc as I have no income
if it helps as incentive, I can also buy some freeze dried meat snacks for the cats with donations & post photos? at least one of them is here every day
