I have finally had enough time to decompress today and last night to put words on a page. Even if most of those words about to “Yay less homework! Thank the small gods!” (Rattle your drawers!)

I have knit about half of a hat today, and I’m planning on doing so much more than just the most basic things to make it functional. I want it as warm and soft as it can be made, so it’s double layered around the ear flaps and the brim, plus I’m going to comb the inside until it fuzzes slightly to make it as wind and waterproof as possible. And I’m definitely doing the decorative I-cord edging in a contrast color instead of leaving it plain. I don’t have fur to leave on people’s clean clothes like a properly furry cat, but my people will be marked with knitwear, dammit!

I have a bruise on my knee where I was viciously attacked by a table, and I probably am fighting off a sinus infection, and I’m definitely being very careful about what I eat and drink bc my mouth is trying to get another ulcer. So basically my body is not doing great bc stress, but I’m doing all the stuff I know how to do. If anyone wants to join me for weekend wake-up yoga on Discord, or possibly something gentle in the evenings like tai chi or qigong, that might also help.

Meow. 🐱 Now I’m going to try to read most of the backlog of what I’ve missed these last few weeks. Wish me luck and reading comprehension.

Sinus infections are insidious. I hope it doesn't cause you too much misery. I might be up for an evening meeting on discord or some such. I need to move my body.

Thanks. I did a week of the Sinus Protocol: saline+xylitol nasal spray twice a day, topically applied antimicrobial essential oils 3-4 times a day, iodine nasal spray after any time I go outside or see people, half an hour to an hour of extra sleep every day, and capsaicin nasal spray when I did still get a headache. Ow, but much shorter in duration. I am no longer sneezing green things or having sinus headaches, which is a marker of success, in my estimation. 😅

wow, that's quite the protocol. I have chronic sinusitis and late summer is once again a bad time of year for me. I could try some of those things, but am allergic to nightshades so capsaicin would put me under.
