Thank you to @delaneyrain.bsky.social for reminding me via the book I’m reading to come back over here and enter the @darquepath.com giveaway. Perfect timing all around & such a fun book!
A quote from the book Incubus’s Mate: Gay Monster Romance with Wings by Delaney Rain. “He’d always ordered things online from a place that shipped in plain packaging.”

Anyone use a journaling/dairy app/site they recommend? I don’t need prompts. Visible/private is fine. It’s for me & stream of consciousness. I have neuro disorder causing forgetfulness & potential memory loss. Want a searchable place & to purge my thoughts feelings down anonymously. Ai free, too

Yesterday, for the first time in 6 years a migraine abortive worked! I am still in shock. So thankful for my unexpected gift of a day free of one kind of migraine. Still had my standard head pain & triggers. But to not have a double migraine to deal with 😘 #iih #migraine #ChronicIllness #NEISvoid

Need these reminders extra rn. I did one thing too many yesterday evening & I’ve been stuck in bed since. Had to cancel a commitment & rely on my husband for my care. Endlessly grateful for his love. I would dearly love a break from intracranial hypertension. #ChronicIllness #NeisVoid #IIH

Standard Sunday afternoon. Some kind of handicraft for me, Lego for my husband and an audiobook for us to enjoy together. Perfect! We have been enjoying the Murderbot Diaries. #VisibleMending #embroidery #Murderbot #mending #booksky
A dusty pink hoodie with visible mending around the cuffs and pockets done with embroidery thread that is variegated colors -pink, teal, blue, purple. Some simple flowers over the holes with a piece of white fabric in the middle and standard stitching around the cuffs. My hand is in the photo holding a threaded needle. I’m wearing a pink, fingerless compression glove for help with joint pain. My nails are painted Tetonic Shift by Mooncat. It’s a green, gold and pink shifting polish. Looking mostly green in the photo.

Things people without chronic illness do not and can not understand... 🩵🦓🩵 #chronicillness #raredisease #chronicpain #invisibleillness #disability #dynamicdisability #EDS #mentalhealth #HSD #ehlersdanlossyndrome #mentalillness
"Something I dont think healthy people will ever get is how utterly overwhelming it is to have so many things go wrong in your body at once, and the subsequent emotional & mental toll this takes. Im so beyond exhausted, I wish someone could carry the weight for a while."Something a lot of non chronically ill people don't understand is that we don't wait for zero symptoms to do things. 
We just wait until it's manageable enough to get to do those things. 
Even in those situations, we tend to overly push ourselves and need to recover afterwards. "If you see someone accepting the fact that they're chronically ill/disabled, I can promise you it's not because they're lazy, negative, etc. It's because acceptance means moving in and living the life you have without waiting for a miracle that may never come."

Thank goodness for books, my saving grace. I’m coming out of a nearly two month flare of elevated neurological symptoms. It’s amazing how relieving it is to be back near my neutral pain zone. Which is still extremely restricting. #ChronicIllness #neis

Does anyone remember the children’s book The Monster at the End of this Book starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover? I’m currently Grover scared to turn the page because of the twist that is impending 😰😰

#goodreads is extremely lost here.
A screenshot of a portion of Goodreads wrapped. It says my least shelved book 0 people also shelved it. And it has a cover of False Comeback: Goliaths of Wrestling book 4 by Lily Mayne. The cover features artwork done by bloodwrit. High Lord Crossbody a fae prince, and Vince the Rolling Rimmer, a ghoul, are featured.

I have arrived. Not that I can be trusted with more social media. I see all my focus fluttering away on butterfly wings 🦋
