I have a bright red spot on the left side in the white of my left eye. My boss is telling me there's no need for alarm and it looks worse than it most likely is. It is a bit sore, though.
I’m like a were-extrovert. 99% of the time I’m an introvert, but once in a while I am seized by the impulse to socialize. Then I wake up the next day and wonder what horrors I committed while in that state.

Do you mean that you literally can't remember what you did or did not do during those times?🤔

It was a joking reference to the way people are after being a werewolf the night before. In this case, since I often commit social blunders and only realize it much later, it could refer to that.
Narrowing down that my next mental-health fixup project is going to have to be the moderate to severe anxiety. At least that is fixable, but I've never worked on it in a targeted and specific way. So this will be interesting.
UUGGGH!!! Cops shooed us away from another spot this morning just cause we were sleeping there!! And it's 96 Fahrenheit out there, all my usual sign flying spots are already snatched up. Not one person gave me more than a dollar so far today. Can we please turn the difficulty off of Very Hard?!

I do errands early to avoid people. I'm not really homeless but I don't like people, and I get to live where there are few people and no cops. Around here if you own your land and aren't growing weed and you keep your nose to yourself you are left alone.

Politicians seem to think that having the cops chase homeless people around the cities accomplishes something. It just makes it that much harder for the homeless to get jobs and stability.

Looks like I'm hunting for bug spray!
Finally had some donuts! And coffee, not the best breakfast but good enough for me

I also don't eat in the mornings, but I'll drink coffee any time of day or night.

I do eat in the mornings, mostly cause I love eggs and toast, and breakfast foods in general

I could survive off breakfast foods all day

Cooking brunch right now. Ground pork from wild hogs, some seed buns, might slice up some raw onion & farm fresh tomato. Black coffee, no sugar.

Hot coffee & donuts are great and taste like being up at 5 AM feels!
The heat can really sap your energy; I hate to think of the times before air conditioners.

Day four of a five-day triple-digit heat streak. It isn't cooling down at nights now. BAD night's sleep. But running central a/c 24 hour$ a day? :eek:

One way or another, people dealt with the heat. You need to still today with any kinda job in the outdoors. Truthfully. The heat, like anything, builds character.

I live in South Carolina and haven't had A/C all year. The electric fan helps, as does opening windows at night to get cool night air into the house. Baggy vintage clothing helps as well. It's hot indoors but I'm fortunate to be able to handle it. In hotter parts of the world, the poor people sicken and die from heat...
I graduated with honors but now I'm injured and can't do much... so my anxious thoughts are pervading me

That sounds really disappointing. I hope you recover soon and can get back on track.
It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened, too
But it's-
No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry
Mexico has banned the registration of AI art as copyright material, and those people who create "art" with AI cannot monetize it

Kudos for that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It may be considered "artificial intelligence", but it isn't recognized as an intellect with property rights because its origin isn't human. Makes perfect sense to me.

I was just reading about trials subjecting AI tools to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. They all showed cognitive impairment verging on dementia. All artificial, no intelligence.
Bored, lonely, and scared. It's gonna maybe be another big big week. Perhaps the biggest of them all.

All these strange and pushy doctors touching me and poking me and asking questions is overwhelming. I find myself retreating into myself, needing whole days of dark and silence. But at the same time, needing held and soothing comforting words. I want to spend the evening picking plums with someone I trust and love.

I'm sorry you are going through all this.❤️‍🩹 I hope you make a full recovery and much faster than whatever they may be predicting. Like very quickly.
I want a tattoo... Or another 20
