Your health and well-being are important. Everyone takes sick days and mental health days sometimes. You’re okay, you’re feelings are okay, and you should do what you need to do without feeling bad about it.<br /><br />I feel less guilty about it now that I have pic actked up my emergency-several-days-supply of meds and napped for several hours without significant change in how I’m feeling, since that means it probably would not have gotten better if I had tried to soldier on through and now I have meds a day earlier! two days, kind of, since I took half of a dose earlier so I can jump right on the full dose tomorrow with no worries.<br /><br />I also realized after I woke up that not only have I been without this one med for several days, nearly a week, due to insurance issues, but that this weekend was such a haze of TIRED that I really don’t know whether I took the rest of my meds or not. I might have just … not. Which would explain so so much about both this past weekend and today.<br /><br />(mkp rolls for her Being-An-Adult check. she rolls a 3! mkp fails her Being-An-Adult check. wait one round then try again.)<br /><br />thank you (and you, Kate!) for helping me feel better about doing what I needed to do to take care of myself today.<br /><br />via:Tumblr <a href="http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/68831294997">http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/68831294997</a><br /><img src="http://shamelessly-mkp.dreamwidth.org/file/73252.gif" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shamelessly_mkp&ditemid=90528" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-11-09:1101825:26865it's a MEME!2013-11-19T06:09:55Z2013-11-19T06:09:55Zpublic0thetimesinbetween asked a question: Yellow and grey!!!<br /><br />newleasemylove asked a question: Moar? XD Grey and red (if you want more :P)<br /><br />MELLOW YELLOW: THE NOSTALGIA OF CHILDHOOD<br /><br />1) when I was wee and tiny my all-purpose pronoun was “her”<br /><br />2) this is exemplified in one of my parents’ favorite family-time stories about tinykp:<br /><br />apparently in my preschool class a boy was bothering a friend of mine and so I hit him? my mom tried to talk me through all the other things I could have done and I listened very intently and then responded very matter-of-factly, “well, I hit Wes.” my justification: “when her hits her, then you must smack them.”<br /><br />3) I also went through a phase of talking about myself in 3rd person, narrating like I was in a story: “I love ice cream! MKP exclaimed happily!”<br /><br />4) One of the recurring themes of my childhood is that I read too much. I used to get grounded from reading. Then I discovered the internet and fandom and got grounded from that.<br /><br />5) The first fanfic I ever wrote, not counting the story about Robbie and Roberta, twin children of Robin Hood and stars of my kindergarten daily journal, was a sequel to Mulan in which the fourteen year old daughter of mulan gets gangraped by huns, becomes pregnant, and gives birth in the snow. I turned it in for a school assignment.<br /><br />I was ten.<br /><br />In retrospect I really wonder at my teachers not investigating that at all, because although in my case it &;was&; just reading way too much but I feel like really a story like that should throw up some serious red flags?<br /><br />6) At around the same time, I was in the midst of what one might call my holocaust phase: following my reading of the Diary of Anne Frank (yes, the original, unabridged version) at the tender age of eight or so I spent a great deal of time reading stories about teens dying in the holocaust.<br /><br />I was a morbid little weirdo, let me tell you.<br /><br />7) Speaking of morbid, I was convinced for years there was a witch that lived under my bed and that the prickly feeling I got between my shoulderblades sometimes was her, trying to cut up through the mattress with her knife - she wanted my heart: cut out, boiled, salted, swallowed whole - it would maintain her immortality.<br /><br />Yes. I also read the original Grimm Brothers’ tales probably younger than I should have. My poor parents.<br /><br />GRATUITOUS GREY: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE THING<br /><br />BUT WHAT IS MY FAVORITE THING OH NO<br /><br />um………. fandom is up there, as is Margaret Atwood’s poetry, Pamela Dean’s prose, clever TV, ice cream, and cuddly comforting things<br /><br />hmm… okay, how about two facts about fandom (& me) and two facts about reading (& me)<br /><br />Fandom Ate My Soul:<br /><br />1) my first (reading) fandom was sailor moon, my first (writing) fandom was the DCU (well. kind of.), and my first (fandom-y) fandom was glee. \o/<br /><br />2) I have in fact been skulking around the edges of fandom for over a decade now, which is impressive considering that I’m only 25. My pinboard only goes back to 200…8? 2007? which is when I started using delicious to bookmark fics, but I’d been reading the suckers for years before that.<br /><br />3) (okay you get an extra one) I started watching Stargate because some of my favorite HP fic writers were suddenly all about the SGA.<br /><br />This has gotten me into many different fandoms.<br /><br />I Read Therefore I Live:<br /><br />1) according to some internet test I have a reading speed of 900 words per minute with an 80% retention rate? which, IDK, really, but it’s kind of cool that if I wanted to be a douche I do have &;something&; to brag about?<br /><br />2) much like how I have problems watching glee, I have a really big mental block about reading new books by my favorite authors, so I’m like three books behind in some of my favorite series (Kim Harrison’s The Hollows, Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld) and I want to catch up but it’s been so long now that I’d have to start all over again because I’ve forgotten things, I know I have (okay this doesn’t apply to the pratchett) and it’s a daunting task.<br /><br />…my parents are of the opinion that this is much like looking up a word in the dictionary by starting at the beginning and reading all the way through till you find it, which. I see what they’re saying, but. yeah.<br /><br />REALLY AWKWARD RED: IDK WHAT &;BEST&; MEANS BUT OKAY LET’S TALK ABOUT KATE, I KNOW FACTS ABOUT HER<br /><br />1) Kate is like the least socially taxing person I know? IDEK why because objectively speaking I don’t think she behaves differently from most of my other friends, but somehow I can almost always bother to chat with her and I don’t end up hiding in corners when we hang out.<br /><br />So. that’s kind of a cool super-power.<br /><br />2) She can also shoot you full of arrows, which is kind of badass.<br /><br />3) I have in the past acted as interpreter, explaining to Kate that in fact our roommate does not want solutions when she is telling you about her problems she just wants validation of her emotions!<br /><br />Kate still thinks this is dumb but I believe she has found it useful to remember anyway.<br /><br />4) She is the biggest history nerd to ever nerd, as far as I can tell. Well. Okay, except for her history anons. But she’s up there!<br /><br />5) She is the Charlotte Lucas to my Catherine Morland, and I think that just about says it all, doesn’t it?<br /><br />via:Tumblr <a href="http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/67445573633">http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/67445573633</a><br /><img src="http://shamelessly-mkp.dreamwidth.org/file/3847.png" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shamelessly_mkp&ditemid=26865" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-11-09:1101825:24685nails-love: naileditnz: Just had to make one of these for us...2013-11-18T20:52:00Z2013-11-18T20:52:00Zpublic0nails-love:<br /><br />naileditnz:<br /><br />Just had to make one of these for us polish lovers! <br /><br />Amen<br /><br />via:Tumblr <a href="http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/67393959432">http://shamelesslymkp.tumblr.com/post/67393959432</a><br /><img src="http://shamelessly-mkp.dreamwidth.org/file/1735.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shamelessly_mkp&ditemid=24685" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
