readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 05/12/2025I get vertigo in MRI’s. So every time I find a spot to stare at so I can tell nothing is spinning. Then I chant my MRI mantra in my mind “It’s not moving/You’re okay/Don’t throw up.” If I didn’t have that? I’d play the abc game with myself. Pick a topic and name something related for each letter. 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Phew! I love that pod though! I’d follow Michael Hobbes anywhere. 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 02/10/2025No worries here. I hope you feel better soon! 000
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 27/09/2025😮💨 I feel ya. I’m so tired of this. I wish I had the answer. Or better yet the capability to build THE place. 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Done. Artists are 100% the reason I came here. 000
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Thank 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! 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 23/09/2025@ashto-ash.bsky.social & @lucyrhys.bsky.social it’s a great place to make friends! I fully plan to order! I just recently learned of them! 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Wanna tag share? I don’t know enough people here to tag. But want to enter! You could tag me to get to the 2 person tag & I could tag you & your friend? 😁 120
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Hooray for the library!! I’m extremely fortunate to have access to several libraries in my area. But I still purchase a lot of digital books since I mostly read indie authors. 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 15/09/2025That’s exactly how I was. Because surely it would get better, right? Right?! That’s why I made it my goal! I still keep track of my read amount. But I don’t have a threshold to met anymore. That also helps allow me to dnf. No more sunk cost fallacy. 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 15/09/2025I just dnf’d two in a row. Rather rude to numeric goals. Fortunately, my goal this year was to DNF more books. 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I already use pen & paper. But that’s on a smaller scale & I don’t want to expand it. Easily searchable, as mentioned already, is v important to me. Also, carrying a physical journal is not possible throughout the day. #journal #journaling 000
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Anyone 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 100
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Yesterday, 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 1110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Cute, cute! I have a bee minder that came with a kit. But my favorite one is a frog. I’ll snag a picture to share next time I’m near him. 210
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 07/08/2025So fresh & gorgeous! This is not helping me refrain from attempting a new hobby! 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Need 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 020
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I definitely search tags to find more or locate content. 010

readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Standard 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 0140
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Out on June 12! Everybody should go read about Ira & Hazel ♥️🍒 000
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Yesterday sounds like a long day! I hope the appointment was fruitful. My desire to sew pants is always tamped down by my unwillingness to forgo pockets and my refusal to use a pattern. Kudos to you! This fabric is fun 🌼 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Thanks for allowing adoption! I normally say I’m going to garden. Morbid whimsy should absolutely be a thing. It sounds less bleak than gallows humor, but still accurate. 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 04/06/2025That’s just cruel! But I also love the term “perishing spot” and would like to adopt it. 110

readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I should actually be saying thank goodness for authors 😻😽 Thank you all for sharing your gift and giving me an escape! 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Thank 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 020
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 01/06/2025There is a website barehealth.co to search for providers. There is one listed in Maine. Not sure of the proximity to you. Might maybe a starting point.barehealth.coFind Inclusive Doctors and Specialists | Bare HealthSearch for size inclusive, LGBTQ affirming and trauma-informed doctors, specialists, dietitians and therapists — all recommended by the community. 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 01/06/2025So many things!! A special hooray for the neighbor connection. Relating to another is so amazing! 010
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 09/04/2025You did your job flawlessly! It’s not often a book can make my stomach drop with anxiety with each page turn. 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 06/04/2025You’re awesome! Totally looking forward to both! 000
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Does 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 😰😰 110
readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Will there be a hashtag for this collection or a way to easily track down each author/book? 🙏 110

readalena.bsky.social @readalena.bsky.social · 27/02/2025I’m not leaving KU until all my authors say that’s the best course of action for them. I will continue to read books 1st in KU, then purchase ebook & audiobook(I don’t have audible). I also request them all at my local libraries in all forms. 🖤🤍 110
