We Were Supposed To Get The Replacement Part For The AC "by Friday For Sure"

We were supposed to get the replacement part for the AC "by Friday for sure"

...

My guy, Friday came and went and you've let us down a 3rd time.

My husband has had enough. Wonder how Monday is going to go 🫠

Thankfully the weather has been gracious and cool so we have been comfortable. *knocks on wood*

So late morning I tried 3 or 4 times to get up from the couch to attend the boys. Each time I sat for a few minutes (to transition/acclimate before trying to stand) then crashed/had to lay back down again. Could only say a few words to our roommate in passing. The last attempt to sit up I quickly realized it was highly likely I was going to lose consciousness. (And I was in and out all morning/into afternoon) I couldn't speak. I texted roommate to wake my husband because of chest pain and being near passing out.

He came up to me and it took all my strength to *whisper* a couple words to him. The rest of the time I couldn't verbally answer his concerns/questions. That's all I could muster. He and roommate got the boys changed and fed breakfast. Hubs got juice as a quick boost before liquid iv. Periodically bringing the straw to my mouth because I could barely move and had no grip strength. Made food and fed me. My entire left arm/hand was just totally weak I could barely move it. Checked my vitals and they were very low. I was cold to the touch. My body was crashing. After a long while of helping me eat and drink I started slowly improving. Im not sure how much time passed.

The boys ate, played, watched tv. While I laid there slowly becoming more coherent/stronger. Boys just went for wind down time in their rooms and hubs was able to transition me to sitting (and checked my vitals which went bonkers, yay POTS), standing, up the stairs, bathroom, then bed. I'm still slowly improving. But I definitely was scared. I cried on the couch. Both because of love and because I was a bit scared. I was able to use my right hand to sign a little while I was still not doing good. (Which now reinforces my desire to learn asl bcuz it is extremely helpful in that situation) and yeah.

That's my day so far.

The meds did help. Nausea was relieved and same with the cramping. Though I really wish I had taken my next dose sooner. The cramping is coming back and now I have a buffer period where the pain exists and the meds haven't kicked in yet. But. Hopefully it'll bring relief again here soon.

Old friend of mine went with me to the river walk this morning. It was nice. Refreshing from being miserable this past week. Though I am utterly exhausted. I couldn't fall asleep until 9:15am ..... and woke up for the river walk at 9:55am 🫠🫠🫠🫠

I feel most at home in the air. But I must say, I'm quite comfortable in water. It's so soothing. Whether for recreation or health. It just.... it quiets my mind/worries. I exist in a weird mental state, (good weird) and my body isnt (usually) in pain when I'm in it.

We caught up about life stuff. He talked a lot about his DND stuff (which I thoroughly enjoy listening to) and then mostly stayed quiet. Some chatter here and there. But it was nice just existing for a while with an old friend.

I've known him since.... maybe 13/14? Half my life. Good guy. Retired early from the marines due to injury? His girl he's been going steady with's birthday is the day before his, and his is the day before mine. Just a tidbit I find funny. They moved in together, big things! He's really happy. She has brought an era of peace to his life that honestly he really needed and deserves and I'm so happy he has that.

Good things good things. I feel quite content myself. Whenever we hang out (few and far between because, life) my brain speedruns from when we met fresh into middle school until present day. Just, all the life that has happened between then and now. Kind of a nostalgic and sentimental brain thing that happens with him and a select few people from my earlier years.

Love it. Good day frens.

I.... I really should not be surprised. Because..

Tumblr

But in searching for wholesome/fun fanart/content in general from that game Palia, I was thrown into an entire section I didn't realize existed. (But should've tbh)

Some of the character stuff......y'all are unhinged and thirsty 🤣🤣🤣🤣

(Entirely not judging. Just amused and stupidly surprised to come across it.)

I will say I laughed out loud with a particular tshirt Reth was drawn in. Iykyk. I may have reblogged it I already can't remember.

So far most everyone is hot for Reth but there have been some Hassian and Jel content in the mix too.

Fascinates me so much, to my (usual) dismay.

(Me, an audhd ace who is equally fascinated and put off by just about everything human in existence.)

Not a negative post! Sorry if it is taken that way. I'm also in a great deal of pain right now so if my wording is fucked... that's just... my brain right now.

Much love 💙

My innocent Palia eyes/noggin noodles have been tainted. 🤣🤣💀💀

I want to get back into writing again.

My laptop got lost when when we moved about 4 years ago. We simply just, never found it.

I'm facing the concept of just getting a new one but I'm really overwhelmed by all the choices and conflicting reviews of the current market.

Does anyone here have any advice or suggestions on what laptop is best for primarily writing?

The only criteria really is I do well with the solid, larger laptops vs those small/travel/take apart ones. I have to be able to use my trackball mouse as well.

I've missed writing for years. So many books unfinished. I just... I cannot let them collect any more dust. Not to mention bursting with new material waiting to be written. I miss the creative outlet I once did every day if not every week. It's time. I just need to find the right equipment.
