new year's resolutions:
-to expand on my routine of taking care of myself. not just washing my face every day, but also brushing/flossing/tongue scraping, and neti pot, and so on.
-to go to a meetup in #lolitafashion in real life! even if it's just me and non-lolita friends being patient with me!
-to write another chapter of my pet fanfic Masquerade.
-to write at least three articles/reviews on sweetdisabled.com!
....actually i wonder if i could jury rig a thing to do my legs with it.
part of the problem with shaving my legs right now is just fucking reaching. the remington ilight widget requires a firm button press on the top but i can probably... idk, there's got to be some lever or something where i could stick it on the end of a stick and do a trigger pull for the button press...
ah, being a #spoonie makes rube goldberg engineers of us all, i guess
i mean it's probably a very bad idea, but i think i may attempt it anyway.
it's fine, it's just like 5 nip hairs, it's fine, worst case scenario i wear loose dresses for a bit since i don't even wear bras normally anyhow....
in which facial hair removal is discussed
i totally forgot that i had it because i just didn't have the spoons to keep up with it at the time, and now that i have rediscovered it i'm SUPER JAZZED
because being incredibly pale-skinned and dark-haired, all the electrolysis i did in middle school (yep. middle school. thanks pcos) has... well, not really stuck around much

also, pro #spoonie tips - #MRI s don't suck nearly as bad as they used to. most of them now have where you can listen to something while you have the MRI. podcasts are GREAT for this, because it gives you something definite to focus on that's not the beat of a song that's going to get interrupted by the WHUMPWHUMPWHUMP of the machine. the last one i had was able to queue up whatever from online so i made the tech listen to half an ep of #sawbones :D
*i really am indeed a cyborg because of the spinal cord stimulator. it means that every so often i need to charge the battery pack in my butt, lol. no, there's no port or anything, i just have to sit with a kinda hockey puck thing to the small of my back which is the other half of an electromagnetic motor that then spins up underneath my skin and charges the battery.
