I’m kinda scared
What about??
Tummy cramps. Had bad leg pain yesterday. New mosquito bites (??) on face. I’m scared of being sick :(
I just found out she d**d last night.
????
The lady with cancer.
Oh, right, sorry... How are you doing with that?
Idk how I feel tbh
That's pretty normal... I'm always here for ya if it starts feeeling less than ok.
Thank you <3
Idk. We weren’t close. But she was still part of the family, part of our group. Idk how I feel, or should feel, or if I should feel guilty for not feeling more.
No prob. 😊. And whatever it is you feel, it shouldn't be guilty. Everyone processes this sort of thing differently. What you're experiencing makes a lot of sense for me... I kinda get the same way.
It’s kinda like when Dad d**d.
(Trying not to set off the censors btw)
I think that word doesn't set it off. I felt that way when my dad passed too
Idk. I’m paranoid now…
Why? Weren’t you close at all?
I don't blame you.
Uh, sorta... I mean, I'd come over every couple of weeks to sit in the dark house with him and try to make conversation. I'd occasionally go with him to other stuff. But in his later years, he did build an entire wild west town in the middle of nowhere, and never told me about it.
That’s so random.
I joke that he built an entire town to get away from me. I'm only half-joking. 😂 I was invited there after his funeral, and I went with my cousin and uncle. They had an entire elaborate shrine built for him at the saloon. And all his 40-60 year old girlfriends (who I'd never met before) were all over me, flirting, as if they were dying to know just how close the apple fell to the tree... 😅 it was a weird night... I'm glad my cousin was there, because people were honestly creeping me out and irritating me.
Awkward.
My mom deleted her number from her phone… Kinda surreal in a way.
It's a good way to move on. I'd say deleting the number is advisable. Especially in case you get a call from it later. 😂 I got a call from my dad's once...
I met someone with Tourette’s just now… just like us! <3
Ooh, nice. Here, or in person?
In person
How were they doing with it?? Mine is bad lately
He kinda weirded me out for a minute (I didn’t know if he was crazy or something). Then I realized he had Tourette’s, and I immediately relaxed. I saw others giving him looks, but no one treated him badly. I tried to treat him normally :)
Oof, what was he saying? I'm glad you were around to treat him normally! I'm sure he's used to the reactions, but it's not easy, and we know that. I'm doing it at work now... I've had to train my coworker to understand that when she's like "what did you say?" And I'm like, "sorry", that it's because I had no idea what I was saying before I said it
He was mostly talking in Spanish I think, so I thought at first that he was on the phone or talking to himself, and making noises. I got more used to it after a bit, although the louder ones startled me.
Yeah, my coworkers eventually got used to me talking to myself and started ignoring it. Lol! It just helps me organize my thoughts.
I think there’s a mosquito in here -_-
Yooo, I'd honestly be interested to hear his tourette's in Spanish. 😅 Poor guy though.
Heheh, I hope you don't say creepy things occasionally like I do with it. 😅😅
A Spanish-speaking mosquito perhaps?
I didn’t know what he said in Spanish lol
Hey, he didn’t seem super embarrassed. A little.
I occasionally say weird stuff lol, but it’s more meowing and rawr-ing than anything lol
What do you tend to say? I have a feeling this will be quite interesting hehe
I thought they were Russian hehe
HE BIT MY LEG!!!! Lol. Little butthead >:(
I’m reading a book about Kid President rn
Lol, I gotcha .
Umm, I say weird things. Sometimes it's basic like "I'm sorry", sometimes it's something weird like "stop going for the big one", and sometimes it's super angry or creepy things that I won't quote here. Usually it's the basic ones, but then people are like "what?"
Russian mosquitos? Why Russian? Izzat a conspiracy?
And what's kid president?
I say random things like”I love you” and stuff, but like… to no one. When I’m not even thinking about love. My Tourette’s is weird lol
Stop going for the big one? What does that even mean?? Does your brain know something you don’t??? Lol jk
Hey, you made them Russian lol
You’ve never heard of Kid President???????? O.O
Lol, yes, my tourette's is exactly like that. And my brain just echoes stuff from years ago. That particular line came from my friend who was talking to another friend playing a video game (don't remember which one) He was like, "Stop going for the big one! Go for... Mr. Tiny... Over there." Lol
How did I make the mosquitos Russian?
And I totally haven't, I have no idea what it is 😅
Poor Tiny. XD
No wait, wasn’t it my mosquito bite that you made Russian?? Or something lol
Ok. Go look up a Kid President video on YT. I’ll wait. ;)
Lol, right?
It wasn't Russian, definitely German. 😜
Oooh, I remember seeing kid president at some point now, but I don't remember anything about it really. It looks kinda fun
Check out alllll my new posts! Icebreakers, motivation, and positivity <3
I checked out a couple yesterday, I'll see what hits my radar ❤️
I had a dream about my prediabetes…
That sounds ***. What happened?
Like… I knew my stats in my dream. And they were correct O.O
I don’t remember what happened… I just know I’m afraid. :(
Don't be afraid, you can always make progress on this, just try to think of it that way!
I had a weird dream last night, but I don't know what happened. I was sitting next to an old lady in the movie theater , but I felt awkward because I didn't have time to actually watch the movie.
How???
Also what movie was it
The how is difficult. 😅
I have no idea on the movie.
Remind me to respond to stuffs later. I’m just like 😴 💤 🥱
S'all good 😊 reminding for when you are wakey wakeful
Sooooo never?
Lol, that's relatable
ð¥±
Ehhhhh?
‘Twas a failed emoji. Lol
Sureeeeee hehe
Sureeeeee what? You must still be sleeping. 😜
Am I ever gonna not be tired? :(
Feeling the same lately. So much to do, and now I cut myself doing dishes. It cut through my thumbnail and I've literally bled through several bandages layered.
Owwww are you ok???
Yeah... 😊 I can tell it was bleeding again at one point today though. Also, I have a majorly jammed thumb on the other hand... And I still have a lump. I am in no way interested in having a body anymore.
What’s a jammed thumb???
Sorry, buddy, you don’t have a choice lol
Not the thumb, it was actually a jammed ring finger. I was sparring and I got hurt. Anyway, it feels weirdly numb if I try to bend it all the way.
Bro. Go see a doctor.
Nah, it's... Getting better. I think... But next week, if it's still like this ..
Go to the doctor.
I can't just keep going to the doctor all the time though, you know?. These things take a little time to heal. I think everything is a little better today. My jammed finger especially. I can almost bend it all the way, and there's virtually no pain. It can even hold a bit of weight. (I didn't test that one on purpose)
Sure you didn’t. ;)
I was rushing with groceries lol
Ow. Lol
I'm ok though. Finger is doing even better, and the lump is gone!
Told you! Hehe
Lol, I'm very grateful to be saying that. My thumb is so messed up still lol
How is it feeling now?
My thumb is ugly but healing, no more significant pain. My other finger is able to bend 95% now, and only hurts on the lower sides a little.
Ugly?
Why are men so reluctant to go to the doctor??
Dude, I can't afford doctor appointments all the time. 😅 I mean, I probably can, but it's not just stubbornness is what I'm getting at.
Yeah, I dunno how to describe... I had a slice of my thumbnail hanging off, with thumbnail growing in under it. The extra part finally disappeared, but the thumbnail underneath is still coming back.
Ducks?
Maybe ducks. 👍 Or something like it.
???
I dunno, I am so heavily sleep deprived that I don't even really remember grocery shopping today. I didn't think about ducks. I'm surprised that I got everything I meant to
Quack.
Why aren’t you sleeping?
I was watching a movie. It's called Companion, and it might be my new favorite horror-ish movie. It might be more action/drama. It's dark and so well done
Why do you like dark movies?
I often feel more unsettled by ones without darkness. It's probably because I completely lack a sense of security; anything that seems too happy and bright feels vulnerable to me.
I think I get it.
I think you're definitely one of the ones that could understand
Happiness is… too perfect. Too fake. Life is raw. Real. Emotional. Gritty. (I never use that word. Lol)
Lol, it's true though. Life is as gritty as Clint Eastwood doing a sandpaper commercial.
I dunno, things that seem too happy just seem vulnerable to me. Like, I felt happy and secure as a kid, and look at me now! 😂
Idk who Clint Eastwood is lol
It’s too… naive.
Lol watch Gran Torino sometime. I remember liking it ok, but I don't remember much about it.
Agreed, it's so vulnerable and naive. I've had everyone look at me weird because I felt unsettled by how a toddler's birthday party looked. It seems that most people get comfort from that sort of thing. I just... Start to wonder what's wrong.
How do we KNOW yogurt has probiotics? (Not looking for real answer btw)
Ok, the not real answer is.... There's this guy that lives in the country, and he can actually taste probiotics, and only probiotics. According to him, yogurt tastes like probiotics, but most things don't. If you ask him what probiotics taste like, he'll say they taste like tickles feel. No one has made sense of that statement
You made me laugh out loud XD
I was thinking like, Big Pharma, but Big Food.
Bwahaha nice. 😁
Big Food. That sounds tasty
Right???
My mom is making tempura shrimp and tater tots for us rn :)
Ooh, that sounds really good
Go have some! But with veggies too hehe
I had a Vietnamese rice dish instead. It had lots of peas, carrots, and cilantro
Yummy <3
It was. I had some frozen yogurt too. I explored a whole shopping center today, I did yoga, I worked out, I made pizzas, I did dishes, I organized laundry, I walked the dog, I cleaned out the guinea pig cage and revamped it, I got through a chapter of the video game I'm working on, and I... I'm relaxing now I guess. 😅
:(
