Productive, rainy Saturday

*blows the dust off* Anyone still here?

After 2 super productive days, with great sleep, minimal pain, and a much reduced to do list, I decided to give myself blog amnesty. I won't beat myself up over falling behind, and I won't stress over trying to catch up. I'll just start again. So, hi!

Brain fog catch-up digest post - 8/19 - 8/22

After years of hearing others talk about it, I decided to try The Sims.

Figuring out how to make WooHoo work.

Spent the night researching the terrifying specifics of the Indian ocean.

Clearing out the fridge of leftovers by making fried rice & bentos.

Not doing Too Much for once

When I NEEDED to clean my kitchen, I did Just Enough, instead of Way Too Much.

Instead of flat in bed, I spent much of the day laying (mostly) upright on the couch.

When a large 8 legged creature showed up in my kitchen, I had a panic attack - but I DIDN'T stop breathing or have an asthma attack!
