Unexpected day off

flamingswordThings were slow at work today, so I took the financial hit to stay home and clean. I now have a bag of trash and fabric cabbage, a bag to donate, two newly empty bins, and a well-organized Ravelry stash. I’m taking a break rn to knit for an hour before I head back into the fray.
I think I might be going to give up on machine sewing and just repair storebought things by hand? It’s a lot of stuff and I haven’t used most of it since lockdown. It just takes up space. I need to find someone local who wants an easy-to-repair sewing machine from the late 70’s(?) to give it to. I have already given away the Euro-Pro X machine, and hopefully that will see some use.
In other news, Ghost has decided that right now, right this very minute, while he is adjusting to quitting cannabinoids cold turkey and experiencing dysphoria about his life, is the best time to go on a big calorie restriction diet. He has cut his food intake by, at my estimate, about a third. All at once. Which is a great idea - if you want to make yourself miserable, not be able to sustain it, and then feel like a failure/beat yourself up about it. Also, he did not talk to me about this. He very obviously didn’t talk to his doctor, or even read up on what sudden caloric restriction does to the body.
I'm moithered to death with this man. 🤷 Perplexity. I have it.
Give your kitties some love from me, and I hope you are doing well today.

Date: 2024-07-10 09:24 pm (UTC)Having to eat a mechanical soft diet for close to two months because of major dental work and go gluten-free/dairy-free [medically necessary since I have allergies to both] while also in cannabis withdrawal was hard and crazymaking enough, never mind voluntarily restricting calories. [At least I don't have to abide by mechanical soft now, though I still have to be very careful and avoid anything that can potentially break my teeth so for example popcorn and certain kinds of nuts are something I can't have anymore, I can only eat a raw apple if it's sliced, etc. Thank fuck for nut butter and softer nuts like pistachios and cashews.] Ghost needs to Not do this to himself right now, he is going to be absolutely miserable.
