just messing around

shane who sat under his dads desk and helped him out with ‘important documents’. his dad ‘needed all these papers folded in perfect halves’, and five year old shane was not gonna disappoint him. he was gonna win at folding papers in half.

(in reality these were just last years invoices that ought to be shredded but shane needn’t know that)

by lunch time he had folded nearly 100 important documents in half and susan the receptionist told him he’s the best paper folder she’s ever met! dad ruffled his hair with pride.

Holy fuck these tags.

I just checked my blocklist too.

They're gone. They're almost entirely gone. There were HUNDREDS. Now they're all either porn blogs or pretending to be regular nerds.

this is rly neat:

I'm now finally on a preventative that works for me & I literally don't do anything differently but I went from having daily migraines to sometimes not having a single one for over a week. I could do & consume every supposed trigger & still not get a migraine, when before the medication, I could do everything "right" every day for a week & still get a migraine every single day.

Yeah...they're caused by migraine disorders. Because people without them don't get migraines on a regular basis.

The chocolate advice is probably bullshit too. Unless you specifically identify it as something that makes your migraines worse (unlikely), it's way more likely to just be a common craving people have during the prodrome phase before the pain starts. If it's your body signaling you that it wants chocolate, there's no reason not to eat it.

Sometimes when people attempt to carefully track and avoid all their triggers, it creates a sense of guilt. When we think about it this way, the burden is on the person with migraine to avoid their triggers, and people may feel that if they experience an attack, it’s because of their own behavior. “Many times it is just the disease,” says Dr. Halker Singh. “This is the unpredictable nature of migraine. I think we carry enough on our shoulders as it is without the added stigma or guilt [around triggers].” Instead, we can shift to a healthier conversation about awareness in migraine management by learning to recognize prodrome symptoms and early signs of a migraine attack. This puts the focus on a deeper, more personalized understanding of each individual’s own unique experience with migraine. “I think making that shift is a little bit freeing and allows us to separate ourselves from migraine,” says Dr. Halker Singh. “My personal relationship with my migraine changes a little bit—I can separate from my own guilt and say, ‘OK, this is happening, what can I do about it?’” This kind of shift enables someone with migraine to focus more on self-care and addressing what their body needs in the moment during an attack.

and most of the time it's fine. shane's bedtime is 7:30 pm because he is so itty bitty, but yuna and david have always just gone to their room after that so bb just assumed they were also following The Time To Sleep rules.

which is all well and good until nana is visiting while staying with her sister, it's 7:40 pm, and she is just cooing and delighted at bb shane just repeating "night NIGHT" over and over from the doorway to the living room because she is not understanding that this is not him being cute and saying goodnight.

It's live!! Make your own garlic! Please tag me in your little garlic guy posts I would love to see them!

There is also currently ONE premade goldfish bag left for sale, with more of all 3 of the bags here coming... At some point soon! (Plus some brand new designs I've been working on...)
