I want to order some groceries, but all the delivery places are booked at least a week out last time I looked. I still might order some dairy free icecream to make that dole whip. I bet it would be good with So Delicious coconut milk ice cream

I'm surprised that I've never had their cookies, given how many times I've been to cons at their hotels. Did you see that Disney World released some of their recipes, too?

Ornamental cabbage, most likely. A brassica of some sort

Omg, Gaia and all the announcements when they sold it off and everything changed. RIP.
I'm looking forward to this Vibrance Day event, though

Posted in Effects of quarantine on mental and emotional health?
Posted 4 years ago
Well....I already stayed home constantly due to chronic illness, but for me it's the absolute inability to see my friends every week or two, which I relied on for mental health. I've spent even more time online on discord, etc, to try to make up for it, and some of my hobby groups have been doing online meets, which is nice
I'm fairly extroverted to start with, and have had a lot of frustration with staying home due to my body's inability to be as active and social as I would like, but it wasn't any kind of sudden change to have to stay home for social distancing in the same way it is for a lot of people.
I did have to stop reading even the foreign news I normally pay attention to, because I was picking up second hand anxiety from people, and that was not helping me out at all. I prefer to focus on what I *can* do during these times, and feel sad or frustrated or whatever when those feelings come up, but not to constantly be confronted with scary things outside of my control, because our brains aren't designed to deal with constant fear. And worry doesn't fix problems or make them smaller, so it's kind of pointless to chase after things that worry me all the time. I still know enough of the news, because you can't really escape it if you're online, but I rarely go seek it out right now, because I'm tired of how extreme and biases articles are, and I can get the facts from websites dedicated to numbers and decrees instead.
I did get tired of watching shows and stuff, so I read some books I'd been meaning to read through my library's ebooks, and that was nice. I think I'll try to read some more novels, because being immersed in another world really does help give my brain a break.

I love the new boots, and hope they last you longer than normal. I used to wear all my shoes down super fast when I was active, so I feel your pain.
Posted in Been feeling dizzy tonight
Posted 4 years ago
@Totalanimefan: I'm glad there's no nausea. The worst part of vertigo for me is feeling like everything is moving even when I'm lying down or sitting still, and then whenever you move, it feels like your head is full of funhouse mirrors and the floor has become a waterbed, and everything is just so much harder. Strangely, when I biked with vertigo (I had to take sick leave for it and get myself home from work the day it started), it wasn't so bad as long as I was moving forward and looking straight ahead.
Also I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and taking care of yourself.

Yikes, burning stuff in the middle of a burn ban is super irresponsible. Glad the fire died out

I've gotten vertigo from being suddenly woken up from sleep, and I deffo get dizzy when I'm sleep deprived. I hope that resting will resolve it for you.
Posted in Drinks of choice during the shutdown?

@Totalanimefan: My cat also will drink from my water glass if I leave it within his reach. He thinks that water from a glass tastes better than the water in his bowl, lol. This is why I keep getting a new glass multiple times a day - I forget that he's going to drink from mine.
