Now that I have your attention, a completely boring post! Seriously, it will have absolutely no yiffing in it.
The events of the past couple weeks have kinda brought my attention to exactly how much I have NOT been taking care of myself lately. I would say that a fair amount of this has, quite frankly, stemmed from simply not being able to afford to, but considering when I do have money I tend to spend it on crap, that's not entirely true. But yeah, I'd kind of been taking the attitude that self-maintenance and care would get taken care of when the money situation got resolved, and one thing that I realized while dealing with the various medical dramas lately is that if I'm not taking care of myself first, the rest of this shit just plain isn't going to happen. A nice example of this was me nearly shooting to pieces late yesterday, not least of which because I'd of course forgotten to really eat anything all day.
Yeah, no.
So I've been shifting my priorities some to self-focus a bit, and it's been helping. Trying not to stress too much, eat something regularly (and not just starch/carbs), drink more water and less coffee, rest when I need it. It seems to actually working some when I stick to it. Despite last week and yesterday's meltdown of sorts, overall I've been focusing somewhat better, getting something instead of nothing done, and just more able to deal with shit. Seems to be a step in the right direction, anyway.
And now off to find some lunch and start the near sentient mountain of laundry mocking me from the corner.
