Thanks friend, how’ve you been?

😅 If possible I’d try to get a new touch up paint. You could try to reconstitute it (I wouldn’t hazard a guess with it seeing the jar about which solvent?) but you’re liable to get a better result from fresh. (source: knows about paint, not cars)

13 weeks? Ugh. In my experience, physio was absolutely essential to my recovery. I still go every three weeks or when the pain flares worse (initial injury was in 2023). I hope you hear back soon too!

yes!! all of my fave rope is like this, it has so much dopamine! It also sometimes helps me differentiate from different structures in the rope because it’s not all the same colour 😂

I’m sorry you’re going through it (fellow cortisone shot spine person here, bulging disc impinged on my nerve bad enough to damage nerves all the way to my fingertips, at its worst). I didn’t start to have really good effects from the shot till about two weeks after, then it did help me intensify my physio a lot which became a positive feedback loop. I hope your doctor has some support to offer. Otherwise, just deep sympathy for something that really sucks :(

Snippets from the last few days since we’ve been home. Birthday cake baked on Sunday. A Chinook sunset. Taco! I met him yesterday. He’s blind but kept coming back for more pets and scratches because he could hear us talking. 🥰 Finally, yesterday’s roasted veg/hummus pita pizza. #food

I composed a whole message about therapy stuff and then forgot to post it, wow. Anyway I met with the travel agent yesterday and she had a lot of advice. The thing she can’t decide for me is how to break up the trip. Right now I’m kinda sitting at London/York/Edinburgh but every time I try to write it down I go: “but that’s not enough days in London, is it…?” 🥲

Then someone else said "yeah but you can also take the train to Paris" and I'm like look. Don't confuse me, I already have ADHD. I'm not looking for specific/granular "must see" things at this point as much as a broad overview. There are definitely many more things to see than I can see in that timeframe, I'm aware, haha.

2026-03-19 15:29:19 UTC

Okay, specifically UK friends (there are a lot of you here, I feel like?). If someone was planning a first trip to the UK--about 11 days, but that includes travel to/from Canada--what would you recommend? Starting from London. I was kind of thinking see London (lots to see?) a few day trips. Then it occurred to me I could take the train to Edinburgh for a few days then fly home from there. I want to resist the temptation to overdo it. And also, you're THERE, y'know?

I’m excited, the boot repair place is shipping my boots back to me! I bought these knee high boots probably over a decade ago, and at the time they were fantastic because you could get them made in any calf width, etc. They don’t fit anymore and I was sad about it.
So I found a place in Toronto that specializes in resizing boots and you just mail them along with measurements. I’d much rather use what I have than buy something new. Here’s hoping!

Found a new therapist and have a first session booked for next week. I am proud of me for getting it done in about a month. It would've been done sooner except this was the earliest I could meet with them for an intake chat. This therapist felt like a great fit for me, and I'm trusting my gut about things as much as I can.

Mm it sounds great! I think the one time I made fish soup it had this concept of purity re: making your own broth and all this expensive seafood and it was just such a huge thing I never did it again. also fun to say: CHOWDAH

I wanted to thank you for the poem you sent me, and didn't have the words at first. I thought your project was really about just writing the poems you wanted to write and then mailing them. I didn't expect that it would feel so personal. It felt as if it was for me. Thank you for it. 💜

I was trying to make breakfast for myself on Sunday, hungry and disregulated. P3 (8.5 years old) comes up to me & says: “Stacey, do you know where my bouncy ball is?”
I started to say “I don’t know,” but what came out was “I don’t care!”
His mouth dropped open and he gasped. “What could make the Queen of the Household act this way?” he said. He turned away. “Is she corrupted?!”
I laughed, then apologized. Now I’m using “corrupted” as shorthand for “I’m disregulated and need to eat a muffin.”

That's fascinating, what a great topic for a class! I want to listen to your lecture, haha. I liked how it addressed children with a certain gravity, too. I hadn't reflected on the implications of treating children with adult consequences. I was always very disturbed by what happens in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, too. Eustace gets turned into a dragon?! And has to scratch off his own skin to be purified? Definitely heavy for a six year old.

That's a question I hadn't considered. I read it as quite a young child and absolutely 100% missed all of the allegory completely😅 so I think it didn't impact me in a negative way as it otherwise might have. I'd be interested to hear your experience/the thoughts behind the poll!

Been kinda AWOL here because I’m not entirely sure how to explain my life rn.
