#how to live on 24 hours a day

[dk-thrive]

The years slip by, and slip by, and slip by, and that [we] have not yet been able to get [our] lives into proper working order.

the other day i walked around the golden lake w my love and the sun was setting hot and orange and we watched a brown duck preening through the weeds, ducking her head under the dark water. the cool lake swallowed up my tired feet to the ankles and we counted the dog walkers with their curly panting doodles and their handsome german shepherds and their whip smart little terriers and we admired the careful construction of a sand castle whose moat held determinedly against the lapping of the waves. we could feel in our chests the persistent thunderous thumping of celebratory music at the finish line of the lakeside 5k, welcoming each gasping runner across its bounds. and i felt like crying. i felt like curling into myself and crying. we walked through the swamp of the bird sanctuary afterwards and listened to the woods sing and croak and groan and then we went and got ube and yuzu gelato and devoured it suntired and sweating on the couch in our living room. and i was so overcome w a deep and true unshakeable happiness and a sort of confused grief that i wanted to sob and sob and sob.

I was watching a clip of the nutcracker on youtube and someone complained about the ballerina dancing as clara because "an adult playing a 12 year old is creepy" and guys. I think we need to shut down takes. No more takes until we figure out what's going on.

[spacejammie-eimmajecaps]

Being chronically ill is such a miserable way to live, like so much of my time is spent suffering and enduring pain and being absolutely exhausted and just waiting, waiting, waiting for relief that may or may not come

after today’s news, i’m trying to make myself feel a little bit better by working on my fic.

i don’t think it’s working

wedding was wonderful but I’m very happy to be curled up in bed with the dogs now listening to the rain and finishing a novel. I give myself full permission to be a hermit all afternoon and then I think I’ll hang out and cook with my sister tonight. tomorrow I get bloodwork done in the morning and then will probably have a busy social day with liz + sam which is good as it’ll prevent me from being glued to my phone waiting for the results. at this point I don’t even know how to feel. I’ve read enough journal articles and forum posts to know that the odds are against me but that there is a small chance I’ll be one of the lucky ones whose body just follows a different course than your average pregnancy. I’m expecting to learn that I’m going to miscarry but obviously hoping against hope that I don’t… and also hoping, in a more clear-eyed realist sort of way, that if it has to happen it’s via miscarriage rather than an ectopic pregnancy, and that the process itself doesn’t take too long (so I can start again this summer instead of having to wait weeks or months). but ah well—I need to settle back into waiting mode, as I probably won’t get the test results back until tuesday morning and can’t change anything or make anything happen by obsessively googling in the meantime.

the way i just had one (1) therapy session after having a minor breakdown last night and already i feel so much better??? yall therapy can be so hard but also once you find the right therapist it is SO worth it

unrelated (kind of) but for the first time since i was first diagnosed almost 9 years ago i have actually managed to keep my blood sugar in range for 24 hours!! i literally have never managed this before now and i almost cried when i realized pfkfk

this screenshot is from like an hour and a half ago bc i took it right before my therapy session and it’s now at 99% because my blood sugar went to 201 for like 5 minutes but i feel like that doesn’t count lmaooo
