#TWO OUT OF THE THREE MEALS

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

You're mine now, old man.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #a-qing #xiao xingchen #A-qing's story kicks off so strong. You really get a sense that she feels strongly attached to xxc during the pre-empathy scenes #and that she has a strong sense of loyalty and perseverance with strong survival instinct #but then you see her before all the tragedy and you *immediately* learn she is a clever trickster! #She follows xxc not out of gratitude but out of a sense that this guy is her meal ticket. #xxc is kind and strong but most importantly *noble* #she can smell the self-sacrificing bright eyed hope on this stranger. She knows the mere fact she's a young blind girl means #he will protect her. The fact he gives her a little money doesn't hurt her justification but tbh she would have followed all the same #a-qing is *the* catgirl of all time actually. Follows you for the fact you provide food and shelter. Opportunistic. May grow to be loyal. #That's not even getting into the parallels here between these two characters and wwx (who is seeing these events play out) #the yi city trio are arguably the three split aspects of wwx: who he feels like (a-qing the opportunist) who he wants to be (xxc the noble) #and who he feels seen as (xy the vengeful). #one day I'll write a more robust analysis on that. prob in the tags though #(His a-qing parallels are also tied with the fact they both were street rat orphans who learned how to code-switch to be whoever #they need to be to feel safe. I have a lot more thoughts to share but augh another time...another time)

Hey y'all another "I suspect this is atypical but idk how atypical" question, this time about blood sugar! Okay, maybe a few questions

if your blood sugar is in the fasting blood sugar range, but you aren't fasting, does that count as low blood sugar?

2. Is it normal to have low blood sugar symptoms at not-technically-low-blood-sugar levels (today, 93)? Like, especially when it's that way when you have not been fasting, but also in general

3. How do you word "hey doc my records say you took my blood sugar when I was fasting, but I wasn't fasting. That was like an hour, hour and a half after lunch and I'd downed half a gatorade before I walked into the office and my blood sugar was in the 80s. Is that...maybe...a problem? That it's happened twice?" in a way doctors will care about?

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #I make sure I have protein and complex carbs and eat smaller meals more frequently #but - wait I think I figured it out #well. why it's happening again now not why it happens in general #usually I have this under control but after I have an allergy flareup I'll be off kilter for days to weeks #depending on the severity of the allergic reaction #but like three times in the last two days I've been on the edge of a stress-induced allergic reaction and haven't needed a benadryl #so maybe it got close enough to disturb my blood sugar??? #my endocrine system is all fucked up and I know that can impact blood sugar #fun side effect I only figured out a week or two ago: #apparently sometimes low blood sugar can trigger a release of some adrenaline #which I did not know because my body kinda...did not have any extra adrenaline #but now I am on corticosteroids so I DO have some reserves #and it means I get high blood pressure when I get lowish blood sugar which has not happened for me in the past #so that's. something. probably good??? to be able to have noticeable adrenaline reactions to things???? but not fun

most fucked up thing about the body's response to not eating is when you're so hungry you feel like you're gonna throw up. this does not make it easier to eat food actually

#literally thanks it did not help #my body sucks so bad at eating #i literally am not hungry until im so hungry i feel sick?? #also #even when i remember to eat on a schedule all food makes me queasy i literally cannot win #maybe the so hungry im about to puke thing is just a me problem idk but it is NOT helpful #im also starting a medication that i cant eat anything for two hours before or after that's going to mess up my digestion today 😊 #and make me feel awful #but its an alternative to eye surgery so hopefully it will be worth it #but i havent even started it yet and im so queasy just bc i didnt really eat breakfast #its not like i had Nothing i had three bites of cheerios and a coffee.... #i would have eaten the cheerios but i was late for an appointment lol #anyway #my digestion sucks and i already cut out gluten and almost all dairy 😤 #wtf else is thereee #also somehow magically even tho all food makes me sick and i barely eat regular meals i am putting on weight??? #lowkey wondering if im diabetic or something bc this is not normallll

Today autism and low blood sugar ganged up on me in the cruelest way. I had only had one single meal today because autism means I don’t recognize hunger till the effects of it hit me half the time (I’m like always sorta starving when high anxiety or sick but I played Stardew all day because my brain said Hyperfocus Now idk so that chilled me out) but so I got tired after not having eaten for about 7 hours (wonder why) and so I got up and got a glass of orange juice cause I knew I needed SOMETHING and drank it and laid down but as soon as I laid down I started having an earthquake in my stomach and violently gagging and getting a runny nose so then I had to sit up and blindly shove a slice of pumpkin bread in my mouth and now I’m fine and no more gagging.

Why is my body like this??? I don’t even know how I hyperfocused on Stardew for like idk 10 hours today, but I did and only ate one meal. I was hydrated but that’s IT. And the violent gagging and tummy earthquake upon laying down got me fucked up like that was so unnecessary???? Get it together! Stop gagging!!! I nearly choked to death and couldn’t get up the energy to sit up till like five minutes after I ate the bread!!! Wtf!!!

Anyways. Glad my body is back to it’s True Normal where I don’t have an infection for 3 months straight and instead I can focus on the real matters of life. Which are apparently Stardew Valley. I’m in recovery 😌

#in case ur new here I had back to back head infections for three months straight and I’m just getting over them #two fucking tooth extractions later and cutting back on certain allergies so I don’t need major surgery lol #but the fact that I have the ability to hyperfocus on anything at all AND have insomnia means I’m unfortunately back to normal #which also means I need to figure out how to remind myself to eat meals… #because low blood sugar issues is a normal for me…

I was wondering if any of y'all have some go-to recipes that are super simple and straightforward to make that you'd be interested in sharing? Like meals that require as few steps and prep as possible? I'm trying to make more food at home and avoid highly processed microwave meals, but I lowkey hate cooking, especially when it's just for myself. While my executive dysfunction has definitely improved over the last month, I still very much have depression and ADHD and thus struggle to tackle more labor intensive activities unless there's a lot of dopamine release involved in the process. I obviously want to improve though, and I figure it's about time to stop living off my protein oatmeal. (It's super good tho, fairly nutritious, and really easy to make--just oats, protein powder, peanut butter, and a bit of honey).

I've compiled a bunch of possible recipes over the last few weeks (mostly from blogs listing meal ideas for picky children lmao), but was just curious if any of you had personal favorites of your own. Since I'm just starting out and have a shitty little 1970s apartment kitchen, I'm pretty limited, and don't really like dealing with super perishable ingredients like fresh produce yet. So only bother with sharing the kind of shit a latchkey middle schooler could make on their own lol

feel free to share them in the replies, or you can pm me or send me an ask too if you'd rather do that instead. It's much appreciated, and I'll let you know if I end up making your recipe!

#no worries if not though! #don't want to sound lazy or entitled #I definitely have already done some research #but I like hearing what works for other people #especially those who are also mentally ill but handling it a lot better than me LOL #also don't worry about calories--I only eat like two meals a day most of the time #so it's actually been difficult to reach 1600 without turning to takeout #as long as it's not higher than like 1200 since my daily limit is 1600 - 1800 depending on my activity level #I'm four lbs away from my 15 lb milestone so I'll probably reward myself with a subscription to hello fresh or something #to get my foot in the door #I wish I liked vegetables and fish more #and it sucks how any recipe with more than like three moving parts scares me away #but I've got to figure something out so I can add more variation to my diet #and now that adderall seems to have unlocked the mystical 'habit forming' ability I've only heard of in legends #it might actually be feasible now for me to dip my toes in the water and start not hating cooking #personal

I should draw morepalmer and Roland… for science.

#I’m mmaking macaronis rn #I’m cooking #be proud of me #I never cook #but it turns out the reason why I have no energy ever #is probably because I only usually eat one (1) meal a day at most #and it turns out that’s not good for you’re body #so I’m trying this hip new thing called #eating two. maybe even three meals a day #and so far it’s going great #I have so much energy #insane. who would a thought #I hate cooking #but I love being alive.

#hm actually that first tag may be triggering or smth so let's get this under the cut #how many tags does it take to do that i wonder #shall we try three and hope they will be enough or #i am very. thoroughly. sick. of wanting to die #it's just so EXHAUSTING guys #usually im more distractable than this but noooo it's been most of today #just there. existing. as a appealing possibility. #doesn't help that i have an imagination neither #so many possibilities! ha. (<- bitter) #tw suicide #tw sh #and i literally lost count of the number of times i harmed today. that hadn't happened yet #i did have two meals today! which probably didn't help the harming situation. but a net win imo #im just. sick of not being normal. #and i should care more than i do about harming. logically i know i should. but i don't care largely and i barely feel the pain. #there was one i thought briefly might send me to hospital but the bleeding did stop with pressure so it was fine #unfortunately one of my regular coping mechanisms/stims (playing the piano a particular song/way/whatever) is apparently becoming a trigger #for harm? i dont know why but this is very inconvenient probably if i care #my brain is a very messed up place to be in at the moment. i wish to check out of it permanently if you please #i did think for a while i might have to call lifeline again but the worst passed #and ha! when my parents ask how im going i am vague adn they think im fine #in reality? i am psychologically drowning and getting stressed over the fact that they rae returning home soon #realistically i will probably be safer as a result but also more stresses on all sorts of different points #woot woot #.....tomorrow's sunday oh no #if im feeling then like i am now i will not be able to go to church because i will not be safe to drive. #joy comes in the morning? i hope? #if i cannot go to church my brother will probably come and stay with me. don't know if i want that or if i don't. would probably entail #telling him about the fact that ive attempted and also been harming. which i keep chickening out of telling him. yay. #if you get this far anyway yes you can probably tell i need prayers.

Kasper you’re right baseball games are TOO FAST I went to one recently and genuinely wtf is that…..I thought it was like the fifth inning and it was already the ninth? My snack pacing was so off???? Hated it

No exactly!! How are we supposed to snack appropriately in these circumstances!! [old man voice] used to be you could have a full course meal + multiple snacks + dessert before a game ended...and now you're lucky if you get more than garlic fries! like god what are we DOING manfred, why are you so EVIL!!!!

#my ballpark meals used to go like this: garlic fries + chicken tenders -> ice cream -> regular fries #and now?? i get ice cream. AND THAT'S IT. AND IT TAKES TWO FULL INNINGS!! #MANFRED WHY!!!! #also ymmv but my friends' beer drinking is ALSO off #they would have a leisurely three beers in 3.5 hours and be fine?? and now they're drinking three beers but the last one is haphazardly #chugged in the last out of the 9th and then we're ALL suffering trying to get out of the ballpark #it's like not only does manfred hate us specifically he also doesn't believe in safe drinking #manfred you fucking loser!!!!! #cage replies #baking-soda #food cw

when Burger King released their pokemon toys for the first time and every kid in our town lost their damn minds, my father ate a BK kids meal for lunch every day for weeks so I could get that togepi.

and that's love, I think.

#pokemon #especially because we all actually hate burger king food #we'd also go out after my afterschool events sometimes #and all three of us would get a meal lmao #sometimes dad would get two if he was hungry #AND I STILL NEVER GOT MEW OR MEWTWO... AN INJUSTICE... #WE TRIED SO HARD... #but I did get togepi and that was about as good

[francesderwent]

my brother and I both finished the books and now we are back to the show for a second watch and, my friends, I am losing it.

ik i just get on here and complain about the same things all the time but god it is so fucking frustrating how difficult it is to get specific days off at my job i really feel that my time doesnt belong to me sometimes

#like i understand that my job absolutely needs to have a certain amount of staffing like its a liability thing whatever. but god sometimes i #remember working in food service and texting the manager two weeks out that i need a certain day off. and just getting it #now its like. i put in my time off wait list request a month before. dont get it bc the waitlist for this particular weekend was a mile lon #6 months ago. get scheduled 8 hour shifts all three days. beg people for coverage and slowly whittle my shifts down by trading in 2 hour #increments since everyone's schedules are fucking insane including mine and none of us can actually trade a full shift. I cant trade half o #these people because theyre not trained to the same level as me. i beg the managers to cut a couple hours in exchange for covering ops #literally in hurricanes. work a one hour shift after class since thats what i could get someone to trade. I still have 5 and a half hours #left to get covered #okay the good news is. erik is coming this weekend:) and i have a free weekend (except for 5 and a half hours)to spend lots of time with hi #i mean thats fiiiiiine like he can find something to do if i have to work. he can read his little law books for a bit #and i expect a hot meal waiting for me on the table when I get off! #i bet he would do that if i asked haha should i get him a little frilly apron and make him be my housewife on that day

Let’s play a game of “How many sensory items can I accumulate before people suspect there’s something odd going on with my brain”

#like ok I can buy a lot of stuff; but they are never on impulse #I typically wait three days before buying something small and inexpensive after seeing it for the first time #that number increases with the amount of money I have to spend #because I MUST determine if I will like and use it before I even think about buying it #to the point where I was actually mulling over which cheap bamboo flute to get at a garage sale one time (there were two; I couldn’t choose) #and my dad was like ‘just get both; they’re only 25 cents a piece’ and I went ‘Oh? I’m allowed to do that… I forgot’ #same with snacks and sweets #I cannot eat a large cookie twice in a day unless the second large cookie is a different flavor than the first #But I can eat as many small cookies as I want in a day; so long as they are in multiples of three #I can only eat one of each thing a day because it’s weird to eat the same ingredient for two meals in a day; unless it’s cooked differently #like scrambled eggs vs egg drop soup; but if I ate pancakes in the morning I won’t eat pancakes for dinner #unless they are leftovers from eating out #I can only comment once per meeting; otherwise it feels ick #anyway I bought a lot of sensory stuff in the past year lol #and I thought about each one before I bought it #I waited four whole months to buy chewelry when I knew I wanted some #but somehow that fail safe gets overridden if it’s a small business and they have something I’ve been looking for #because why wouldn’t I buy from a small business? we love our artisans in this household #especially if the business is owned by a minority group or nonprofit for a good cause

Why does cooking take so many spoons

#my ramblings #i’m fucking exhausted #adulting is exhausting #but also i just ate enough food to quantify as An Actual Meal?? #for the first time in i don’t even know how long #there were vegetables? #it took so long but it was actually pretty good even if it wasn’t as good as my mom’s #and now i am actually properly full! #and i made enough chicken for like five more meals and potatoes/veggies for two #(and then i guess something else to go with the chicken for the last three pieces) #but like i have leftovers?? i don’t have to come home and stare at my empty fridge and slightly-fuller freezer #and then end up eating chips or granola bars or straight peanut butter out of the jar #food is hard

I might have made this post before but

broke: quinn cooper seeks out specifically powerful and dangerous vampires to manipulate, blackmail, cosy up with and take advantage of for personal gain, both as a stupidly excessive show of gratuitous influence and power and just for the self-indulgent thrill of it

woke: quinn cooper seeks out specifically people who can drive to manipulate, blackmail, cosy up with and take advantage of because quinn cooper is a lazy fuck and also way too proud to admit they find road rules confusing. why the fuck is the britannia roundabout on kensington road like that. nat can you drive them to target please

#i had another joke post that was like....... #idk u might assume quinn's type is Vampires #quinn's type is actually just. nerds. people with drivers licences. softies #yes quinn was a little turned on when nat pinned them down with claws to their throat and threatened to murder them #yes quinn is insanely attracted to alex and likes when alex flashes its perfect pretty fangs #but keep in mind. alex and nat are also both nerds with drivers licenses and huge softies #also lmao @ quinn being all ''ooh I'm quinn cooper risk and murder and thrill make me feel alive and I'm in love with danger'' and #getting a kick out of mortal peril and being around dangerous predators #like quinn babe ik nat and alex are vampires so u can fool yourself into being all haha this is sexy and dangerous but also #the two people you are basically in love with and adore and feel safe around Just So Happen to be the two that #treat you with kindness and gentleness and you specifically trust them not to hurt you??? you dense fuck #quinn: ''I'm so cool and edgy I'm surrounded by vampires i love danger hehe'' #nat: *makes sure quinn eats three healthy meals a day and puts a lil blanket over them when they fall asleep on the couch* #alex: *kisses quinn on the forehead and always keeps an eye on them to make sure they're safe and takes note of #things quinn mentions in passing so it can surprise them with a specific gift or fun outing later* #the part of this relationship you enjoy is not danger or control or you being on some weird power trip quinn it's the existence of both #SAFETY AND VULNERABILITY #it's CARE #does it take quinn three books to figure this out? yeah. #a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears

it may have taken over six hours BUT! GOT THE LAUNDRY OUT OF THE MACHINE AND FOLDED IT!!!
