Prompt Answer: Working On

What have you been working on?

Woo buddy, is my active project list long.

I’m working on:

  • A shawl for Chele
  • A shawl for J
  • A shawl for Grandma Gator
  • A scarf for Megan
  • A blanket for Mellon
  • A blanket for another loved one
  • A blanket for myself

Okay, I guess it’s not that long. But it’s a lot with NaNoWriMo and the Oracle I’m going to be working on after Halloween over on Off the Hook of the Witch.

I’m one busy human!

Prompt Answer: Don’t Know

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

Well, most people know I’m queer. I’ve been told it’s practically visible from space.

They don’t often know I’m gender-fluid.

Today is a chickish day, I think. At least, I’m wearing a dress and leggings and such. But gender presentation and all that not equaling gender entirely and all that.

Yesterday was a dudely day.

Who knows what tomorrow will be?

Prompt Answer: Lazy Days

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

So, here’s the thing about lazy days: I don’t usually get the choice in whether or not I take them. I have fibromyalgia. There are days where I simply cannot function.

Usually, I feel both rested and completely unproductive. Pardon the double negative, but I don’t do not doing things well. Idle hands are Puck’s playthings and all that.

Even now, I’m watching a show with Mellon and crocheting to relax.

Prompt Answer: Successful

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

When I think of successful people, the first that comes to mind is my dear friend Reffie.

She always seems to have her shit together and is always able to roll with whatever stuff life throws her way.

She’s an amazing writer. She’s got an adorable cat. And she’s just one of my favorite people.

Prompt Answer: Try for the First Time

What could you try for the first time?

I would try almost anything once, so long as it wasn’t likely to set off an anaphylactic response. w

I want to try grilling over an open flame grill, be it charcoal or gas.

I want to get my nails done just for the fun of it, instead of when someone is wed or dead.

I want to try going to Vegas or Salem or New York. Somewhere I’ve never been.

Prompt Answer: Lost Everything

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

Well, friends, y’all might not have known this but I was homeless for over a decade.

I have lost everything. Down to my shoes.

I don’t wish it on anyone, at any time, but I do kind of wish I could fit everything I own into my car. As I now have a tiny little Ford Fusion, named Sherrinford, I don’t think I could do it.

Oh, well.

It doesn’t seem like I’m going to be moving again any time soon, thankfully. So my clutterbitch/maximalist ways will eventually need to be trimmed down. But not anytime soon.

Ciao for now!

Prompt Answer: Life Details

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

My dudes.

Guys, gals, and outside the binary pals.

Y’all.

I have one of the worst cases of ADHD and I am on the autism spectrum. Fucking most of my life is spent grasping at mental straw while powering through in a meatsuit that was designed with Sysyphus in mind.

I am incessantly in pain. And trying to focus through brain fog and fatigue. And have the attention span of gnat on cocaine at the best of non-hyper focused times.

Genuinely, I try so hard not to be bitter. I strive to be happy, be kind, be loving, be patient. But fuck if I can all the time.

What could I pay more attention to? The insides of my eyelids. I need more rest.

That’s what I’m off to do.

Take your meds, folks.
