Sugar. I weigh 60kg at 178cm and I don't think I'm doing too hot. I doubt I could survive 24h without water. It doesn't help what my last job did to my mental health... Especially now in the tourist season I've simply turned around a bunch of times if a store is filled with too many bicycle pants wearing cheeseheads, the alternative being me cussing them out because I'm hangry, and it's not like I don't hate them, but I'd rather not.

Huh. Sugar doesn't tend to make me thirsty, I don't think? Salt absolutely does, but if sugar has that effect I haven't noticed very well...

Quick look does suggest it (well, the processed stuff, less so carbs in general) basically functions as a diuretic in high amounts, though, so yeah, it could cause problems if you're not keeping on top of the hydration.

But yeah, sugar's one of the few things that's in nearly as much as salt, heh. It's hard to get away from. If you're trying to get away from it, best of luck, you're going to need it :-\

Well it's been like 15 years ever since I've menaged to pin some renal pains down to grenadine consumption, that I am able to tell the general glycemic indexiness of things. But to organise better shopping is such a hopeless cause.

"I'm going shopping do you want anything?" will yield vaguely related article "that's all they had". A word too much might ruin stuff forever so it's better to say nothing. Like why do keep buying the spicy flavor ramens none of us eats them they keep piling up while all the other flavors circulate, but say that and now it's a brand that none touches. I think that's kind of the goal. There is some sort of food anxiety intermingled. Often I will say that's too much, like  2 donuts or whatever would have been plenty. "HaVe YoU eVeR cOnSiDeReD I mIgHt wAnT tO hAvE oNe tOo". To which I will then proceed to withdraw the entirely predictable amount of 1 out of 3 (somtimes 4) donuts, pieces of cake cinnaroll whatever. As I do. I often complain about too much sugar in my diet. But if I had a nickel for every "have you considered..." I would ruthlessly farm the shit out of that, we'd have a private cook and the thing would be a perpetuum mobile. They can't help themselves. They also only eat one....

This is not even the same person ,but have you ever gotten sick of icecream.... not like that's enough icream... more like fucking icecream again?! Trust me you go out there, and try to grease some palms that might be busy otherwise, with a cute little dose of corruption, oh an icecream how nice, who doesn't like icecream, yeah repeat that for a whole summer everyday. God icecream is an obnoxious gift. Eat now godspeed or sticky fingers.

And it's like ugh... I have enough issues and idiosyncrasies about food as is, texture and autism, and how I'm unable to establish a dietary routine without a sugar kickstart in the morning, and a pop with the big meal in the evening... Allready have a hard time using my brain instead of speedrunning through the bright noisy supermarket in some amygdalic rush. And also my last job convinced that basically everybody is an ennemy. None of this is a good start. It's unreasonable for me to have to deal with the boomer shit above. A piece of cake is fine and dandy, exceed for something truely delicious, be thirsty a few hours whatever, never said I was a rolemodel... But there is like just of the top of my head m&m's, twix, more national chocolatey and candy stuff, 2 types of icecream. And I know with confidence, except for 1 of these 2 icecreams, none of these products will visibly diminish in quantity unless I touch'em.


Having the shelves filled with food, albeit stuff nobody wants, make me feel like a silly spoiled brat when in the supermarket, I tend to walk out like a particular sausage or  cheese I want to put on my bread it in that very instant and that's it.

I think I have a chest infection. Got a slight cough, a bit of tightness in the chest, a faint wheeze, and there's some blood in the mucus I'm coughing up.

Sounds like me when I had covid in 2019. My issue was I was coughing so much I think I tore/inflamed my throat and had blood in my mucus. Do you have a sore throat to go with it?

Definitely time to see the doctor. Although when I went and reported by symptoms their reply was "What? You want a chest xray or something?"

Throat feels just slightly itchy, the cough itself isn't bad (yet) so I haven't irritated my throat yet. There's a catch in my breath, and a pinch when I swallow, and a telltale heavy feeling to my chest. Haven't coughed up any more blood after the first batch, so maybe it was from a nosebleed or something that went into my trachea rather than out the front without me noticing.

So far it feels a lot like the last chest infection I had. Tired, itchy throat, heavy feeling, catch in the breath, bit wheezy. If I cough up any blood in the morning I'll call my doctor and see if they can fit me in. Last time a few days of antibiotics cleared it up, but I don't really have anything to do anyway so I can convalesce and recover without them without much worry.

Sennheiser Hd25 is not quite what it used to be 10-15 years back, and when they were sold for 150 quids with the ring cable included, made in ireland. The old one reacts better to cleaning products , tho neither headpad likes alcohol. But fundamentally it's still the same headphone. My first pair still works flawless too, but I just snatched up another a year back, they will not become cheaper.


Sound isolation surprisingly good, (they don't look like it), pretty joyful and pronounced on the percussions, maybe not the most neutral there is, but just excellent. An evergreen among djs for a reason.

my new antidepressant does not seem to manage my anxiety well, given that my nerves are on fire, my brain wants to climb out of my skull, there's a constant low-grade sense of peril, and i have doubts/criticisms about myself for doing something so brazen as 'trying to enjoy my time simply for the pleasure of it'

since, uh,

wednesday?

It feels like my sense of empathy's beginning to fade some. Not in some "Oh God I'm turning into a psycho" way, but I don't feel like I'm empathising with people as well as I used to. I don't know if it's university that's doing that to me, or my SSRIs, or just me growing older or what.

I tend to become less empathetic when I’m in a bad mood.

I have gotten more “selfish” in as I get older, but it’s more about looking after myself than lacking care for others.
