me: hm why do i feel so cold

my body: hey here's that fever you ordered!!!!

me: wh.... no i.... can i return this please

my body: nope!!!!!!!!!!!

....so in conclusion since it's under 101F still i'm gonna fucken pile blankets on my person and sulk

so i ordered a cheap lil memo notebook so i can write notes and shove it in my cute small purse

it's shaped like a milk chocolate candy bar with a bite out of it

and is scented

But is not scented chocolate. It's scented like banana.

i don't get it either

i feel like the typo in there just enhances the humor to be honest

"of course it may be entirely possible that i've accidentally got a setting switched wrong. if that's the case, please accept my sincere apologies in advance. i have an awful cold and i've just been sort of rolling my face on the keyboard after taking enough nyquil to get a horse pretty krunk while making sad bleating noises"

@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have zero idea about what kind of gems you'd find in the rockies-ish, but i know around here it's a lot of garnets, rubies, and sapphires, as well as some cool semi-precious stones - like i have a cool piece of flourite with really nice banding

also honestly it means that if anyone ever asks you about it somewhat disapprovingly, you get to gush to them about the wonderful personal time you had together and then if they still object THEY LOOK LIKE A MASSIVE ASSHOLE OHOHOHO

@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have absolutely no idea about west coast, as a georgian, but i know appalachia is lousy with such places LOL. i can give you a solid recommendation if you want to go to the north georgia mountains, though... LMAO

i may be colored from the fact that i went on a vacation there as Official Third Wheel with my best friend and her fiance, and i'm still starry-eyed about the idea of them using the buy-a-bucket-get-a-credit-to-us-making-it-into-jewelry to use for some of their gems 😍

this cold continues to be hell and today i must figure out how to breathe thru my nose even if it means sleeping fitfully after i'm forced to take some pseudophedrine

the sleep apnea dental device i use is great, but holy shit, your mouth gets fucking dry as fuck if you're trying to mouthbreathe because your nose is stuffed up

ended up taking it out last night and had nightmares about struggling to breathe. so like. thanks, cold, you shitter

@kara@witchcraft.cafe this is a somewhat sappy suggestion, but if you live anywhere near where there are any of those 'pan for gemstones' tourist attractions... a gemstone you find yourself, set in conventional metal, would be one way to not only make a wedding ring, but a lovely memory as well! and then you get the kismet of "let's see what luck brings us" to get some of the decisions made for you LOL.

@kara@witchcraft.cafe it's a different sort of chic bordering on hipster, but i've seen some really lovely wedding rings made from iron meteorites (either in whole or part), and ones that also incorporate bands of wood. people also do some really pretty wood in resin bands, which is more forest hipster than geeky, but perhaps worth considering - https://www.etsy.com/listing/594264232/juniper-wood-ring-mens-wooden-ring-real?ref=related-1&frs=1

@meatmage it's also ignoring the true rightful owner of purple:

the artist formerly known as Prince.

so therefore if anyone gives anyone flak about 'we owned the color purple first', tell them solemnly that the community officially leased it from Prince and therefore has a genuine and valid claim

i mean i have no idea about her content or what she even does, but my inner decora fangirl has to give jojo siwa some respect

that jacket where it looks like she's just sort of rolled on the prize counter at chuck-e-cheese's.

i fucking love it.

@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club ok yes, that's perfect. more of that.

and more uh... i don't fucking know, what do teen girls like these days? jojo siwa? i only know the name because apparently giant fuckoff bows are controversial and some schools ban them now and that means i narrow my eyes and resolve in my little #lolitafashion heart of hearts to wear bigger and bigger bows as to be an inspiration to all

@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club i agree with the sentiment but given that twilight is a regrettable pile of normalization of abusive relationships with a weird half twist of racism up in there, may i suggest another series

we need more uhhhhh

barbie games and babysitter's club books?

government: if we are shut down, it means we will be shut down and unable to do things

trump administration: LET'S SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

government: *is shut down and unable to do things*

trump administration:

@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club oh yes.

there are few things pop culture hates more than something teenage girls like.

@Doggo ah that's understandable! yeah due to the legality maze over here in the states, i can only get CBD oil that has absolutely no THC content so it doesn't get you high at all, and thankfully that hasn't interacted with my own head meds so far. or, i mean, it could be, but i'm already on opioids so LMAO...

but yeah there's a lot of good cream options out there to try! there are even rx creams with anti-inflammatories in them you can ask your doc about.

@Doggo (tho i can still recommend the Two Old Goats cream. it doesn't do the icy-hot minty cream thing, it's just a bunch of herbal whatever and birch bark extract. when dealing with my fibro and whatever it's been the one Holy Shit This Does Something cream for me. after wikipedia delving i think this may be due to the birch bark, since it's sort of like willow bark in that you find an asprin precursor in there, but anyway, it's a nice cream LOL)

@Doggo be careful with heating packs tho. heat's good for getting muscles to relax, but it actually causes increased blood flow so if you try to treat inflammation with heat, you're going to hardcore fuck yourself over, since all that increased bloodflow will bring more inflammation to come get trapped basically.

i'd suggest maybe some different topical creams but ones with menthol in them or similar might hardcore set off sensory issues tbh

@Doggo i use these really lovely reusable coldpacks called Chattanooga ColPacs - they have some like chemical mush gel in them and are sturdily built. get one, toss on wherever, 20 minutes on 20 off (DON'T BE LIKE MY DUMBASS AND GIVE URSELF A CHILBLAIN BC COLD FEEL GOOD LOL), pop back in the freezer, repeat. you can make a nice cover for them sewing up a towel or putting them in a pillowcase too (makes it less harsh on your skin by far).

@Doggo they do make CBD oil in gelcaps tho! which although i've tricked myself into tolerating the oil is a big relief. the ones i get also aren't incredibly fuckoff huge in size, which is nice. procana is the brand i rely on, they're expensive but i'm sure you could find similar over on your side of the pond (bc i'm guessing you're over in the uk). if cold water is the problem and not just, like, cold, i can also give some good recs there too! >
