Me rambling about things. My life, atheism, toys, kitsch, books I'm working on, genderqueerness, this and that... Wee!
breaking out
I'm beat today.
Yesterday, I went to the drugstore to talk with the pharmacist, who gave me a hydrocortisone cream because I've got hives on my ribs, on the left side.
I'm not covered with them, fortunately, but it does itch like crazy, though said itch comes and goes. I'm grateful that it's not shingles, which I've already had twice.
I think I've been too stressed out again. I've been waiting for news about my new book, which will be published by Atheist Republic, I've been working on a bunch of new projects, and this that and the other... And these days, I've been doing everything I can to take better care of myself; there's so much I say "no" to now.
I'm aware of what works for me, and what doesn't work for me. This is one of the reasons I've been staying home a lot more because fuck it. I'm happy when I'm home.
I'm happy when I go on tranquil excusions to a book store, or to add toys to my collection. I putter, I browse, and when I'm done, boom, I go home.
I'm an introvert who's very much at peace with her introversion. It's who I am, and I'm happy this way.
When you put most "shoulds" in the fuck it bucket, a great deal falls right into place.
I added these Monster High Minis to my toy collection yesterday, because hives.







I went to my local pharmasave, and because I was lounging around waiting for my prescription, I found they had 'European Hydrocortisone' cream. It is 1%. I was very excited! I used to need a prescription for that!
The rash isn't too bad, so I've been doing okay... I use an oatmeal Aveno cream during the day, and the hydrocortisone at night. So far, so good :-)
I am tired as heck though, oy. So I'll be puttering today... I got Play-Doh sets yesterday! It made me ridiculously happy.
"Should" is such a horrible word, so full of misguided expectations, implying judgement and eliciting shame. I would enjoy eradicating it from most communication, possibly with fire.
Hear hear... For so many years, I was weighed down by "shoulds" and "musts" and "have tos"—I am so done with all that. It was a judgment plague, it really was.
I've been putting the dead out on the cart, let's say ;-)
YES! Let's see if giphy can do this.
[laughter]
Hahaha. So not Eric Idle.
Good try though @PicklesTFC
Giphy messes with me a lot.
Giphy is something I only very recently discovered existed [laughs]
Be prepared for Giphy Roulette.. Hahaha
Just in case you need a fuck to give in the future. Hehe.
I hate hives... We're well acquainted.
And wouldn't you know it, I love Spidey [giant grin] I have a Dorbz Spidey! His playmate is Pirate Deadpool ;-)
That's it... I'm coming to visit so we can take silly photos of toys in your living room...
For oodles of fun, check out my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/logospilgrim/ and this right here https://logospilgrim.com/the-dungeons/ :-)
Ahhh yay! PS I spotted Spidey! Haha
I went to the corner store when I was a kid, and a teenager, for my Spidey comics.
There is a current run of Spidey that is pretty amazing. Very 1990s.
I have been getting them again this year! I also love the very retro Spidey title.
Amazing. By the way you can find my instagram here
There you are! I didn't realize it was you when I added you with my phone device [laughs] Most of the time, I use my computer when I respond to stuff etc, but I use my phone when I add photos and all that :-)
Those are awesome : )
I'm sorry about the hives. That sounds awful.
I like Amy Sedaris's brother's (not David. The other one.) idea of the fuck it bucket. You fill a bucket with candy and when shit goes wrong you say fuck it and eat a piece of candy.
Here's a cat for you.
I must be getting old because I have no idea who Amy Sedaris is [laughs], but that is an excellent fuck it bucket! Love it.
Also love the kitty :-)
And, I decided that I'm getting Play-Doh today. I had a "Burger & Malt Shop" set I adored when I was a kid; making those little hamburgers gave me such pure, unadulterated, raw pleasure... So today, Play-Doh it is! I want Play-Doh and Play-Doh there shall be.
Last time I checked there were some pretty awesome Play-Doh sets. Hehe.
I nipped in the toy store yesterday, and saw some awesome ones, and I'm going back for them today.
[mad scientist laughter]
Yay! I'm so excited.
I'll take pictures!
Mmmmmm, the smell of play-doh. :-)
I'm going to open up a can and inhale deeply right now ;-)
