That makes my Tinnitus louder just looking at it. ^


I got to talk to my ex briefly, the one with the stroke. He can speak a bit of Spanish which is his first language but he lost a lot of English comprehension. I had no idea what he was saying for most of it but at least I could hear his voice. He understands his siblings when they speak Spanish, but the speech therapist doesn't know any Spanish so they're trying to find someone who does.

This is gonna be interesting.

Brains are so cool.

Is this an ex you're cool with? It's so weird he lost English but not Spanish. Not being a brain expert I'd have assumed language stuff would have been all in one area regardless of the language. I don't know much about strokes. Is it possible to recover lost stuff or would he have to re-learn it?

TLDR

It's really complicated. We were best friends before dating, in the late 90s after my divorce. Then we started dating and we had a lot of great times together but he hurt me very badly in 2002 with the coming-out thing and a lot of other longterm deception. We didn't talk for years after that but he helped me get out of my trauma situation in '09 so we started being friends again, albeit tentatively and platonically. (We were always platonic, but that's another story.) Then we just stayed friends and I kind of rebuilt my trust in him. It's a long story but we own a house together (he pays for it, not me) and I'm still his next-of-kin but we don't talk very often. I haven't seen him in a couple of years and we live very far apart. There's been some bad blood between him and MR because of how he hurt me, but that's pretty much settled down. It's really a mindf**k for a lot of reasons good and bad since he's been a huge part of my life for 30 years and he really doesn't have anyone else to help him. He's going to be 70 in the summer so he's going to need care.

I just think it would be easier if all men over a certain age were called John

I've been productive today. Does that mean I'm feeling productive? Does productive (if it is an emotion) fall under the 'happy umbrella'? I think on my therapy homework I will count this as a happy thing. I don't know if this homework stuff is helping me, but it certainly isn't hurting me.

I would like some ice cream cake for my birthday.



How does one work out?
In summer heat?

Without air-conditioning?
With little to few water to bring?
Without the risk of rapid dehydration and heat exhaustion?

While dealing with hot flashes?
With hyperacidity (despite eating before or after)?
And chronic nasal breathing issues at the same time?

I feel like I'm forgetting some items I need from the store. I need to leave in a few hours. Hope I remember what I'm spacing before then. It makes me nuts when I get home and suddenly remember what I forgot to get. Not trying to do that today.

I forget stuff even when shopping online. I try to add things to my online cart whenever I think of it and I just leave them there until I place the order, but my stupid brain forgets to put stuff in. I finally got butter after about three failed orders.

Good luck with yours.

I haven't taken any time for WP with all the crafting that I've been doing.
