Fuckening immune system needs a fuckening upgrade. Or a refund. I will accept a refund.
That is basically what I've been up to this week. Lying in bed hacking my goddamn lungs up. With a side of picking fights on the internet all this coming weekend, because I know me on prednisone, okay, anger response goes up and emotional regulation goes down. (I apologize in advance.) And I've got a sulk anyway because Tuesday and Wednesday were sick leave but Thursday and today have to be annual (because I am just that fucking low on paid sick leave) which means I get to do math to the effect of, which of my holy days that I've scheduled off work do I need un-schedule off work in order to preserve the goddamn paycheck?
Re improving my life: Religious devotion and spiritual and magical practices, which I'm debating how much I want to (or can) discuss in a public post, and I'm not sure to what extent you lot want to hear about those anyway. Some of which is definitely new within the past...couple months? yeah that sounds like the right time frame.
I would very much like to be doing yoga classes—I did the introductory $30/30d free-access-to-any-class thing at a nearby yoga studio the other month, and that rocked, but...money. ($15 for one class or $60 for ten, which is a lil out of reach.)
(Thing I am NOT doing: explaining on Facebook all the reasons why dude's suggestion, in response to my initial snark about needing to upgrade my immune system, that I start an exercise program is a fucked suggestion and also not what I would call new. Because I still know me on prednisone! And I haven't got a feel for his attitudes towards disability, either, so I don't feel like explaining how my access needs are self-contrary.)
If I could collect some more focus I could finish that ebook conversion for Neos Alexandria and get money for that, which would pay for a few yoga classes! Or most of a reiki session. (Yes, I know I'm turning into That White Chick. I'm trying to figure out the principles with which I can [re]construct a style of magic that coheres with Hellenic polytheist practice without being appropriative, but I'm not sure how to get there from here, for literally any present-day value of "here".)
I just started an eight-week program courtesy of my health insurance that is half cognitive-behavioral therapy, half coaching, all over the phone (yippee), and I haven't got to the coaching half yet because scheduling fun (that'll start Monday) but the therapy half started yesterday and therapist's thought is I could pick a half hour every day, same time, and either work on my novel or meditate. I think that'll be 12:30-1:00p by royal decree. And we shall see how that goes.
I am trying to employ podcasts to make chores-doing less unappealing, and also get the podcasts listened to. (I found somewhere that archived most of The Jaguar and the Owl! WOOOO now I have more than the two eps I'd downloaded before the site went pfft!) This would work better if I had energy for chores-doing, mind you...
tl;dr :P
