14,753 Days Alive
1,600 Milligrams of Ibuprofen Taken in the Last Twenty-Four Hours
45 Days and Counting Until 2026
2 Legs Elevated to Help with Pain and Slight Swelling
I way, way, way overdid it this weekend. I regret none of my choices, just the consequences and inconvenience of being in a lot more pain than usual.
Llama is in town for another two days and it makes me realize that I really need friends here, in Madison. Ones I click with, can grow with, so nothing with! I miss having a diverse social circle that is close enough in proximity to give me frequent physical hugs.
To be sure, I love the friends I have. Chelé, J, Llama, and Reffie have been awesome to have in my pocket and corner. But sometimes you need more than a WiFi-high five or a virtual hug. And as I am knowingly more a tactile creature, I need more huggable friends!
I also realized that I have not yet set any goals for next year, beyond my desire to get to a first draft on my queer magical realism/urban fantasy novel. I should work on that.
Anyway, I need sleep and more ice packs.
Take your meds, folks!
