NASA gets us all worried occasionally by saying that an asteroid is coming close to Earth, when close actually means 4,000,000 kilometres. 🙄

At only 384,000 kilometres away, it's the moon that we should worry about. 😟

Besides mortgage or rent, what is the biggest expense in your budget?

Spring highlights.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

@RickiTarr It's not that I don't like being around people, it's that I have specific preferences about which people Id like to hang out with.
I also need to spend time more alone than socializing to recharge my batteries.

I structure my day so that I have plenty of quiet time, but when I'm in social mode, I'm at ease.. until I'm not. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Why haven't I heard of the word "Norning?"
a mixture in between times a little past midnight but before people usually wake up.

Anyway, Good Norning.

The universe is infinite. It has no center.

@Adam_Cadmon1 Exactly. If we consider that the universe is expanding in all directions, from every point, that also means that the center of the universe is everywhere... but my friends in Toronto still think that it's there. 🤷‍♂️

After staring into the freezer for a good 5 minutes, there was still no icecream.

I just bought a new (to me) coat at the thrift store. New, it retails for $300, but I only paid $25.

Still, it's the most that I've spent on a single item of clothing in years and I'm trying not to feel guilty for such self-indulgence.

A friend's little girl told me how she saved some worms that were stuck in a rain puddle by moving them to the grass.

I told her about the 100s of worms that sought safety on our patio during the rain and how I swept them all off after they shriveled up and died.

Kids are fun to talk to.

I will usually avoid going to the hospital emergency if the reason is 'only' because of debilitating pain.

Pain is not their focus and they, hospitals, and the medical profession in general are not that good at dealing with it anyway.

IF there's something different about or than just the pain, that might indicate an immediate potentially life altering issue, Then I go.. but I still don't expect pain to play much part in their response.
A tricky balance.

dabertime,
@dabertime@mstdn.social avatar

@mentallyalex yep. Thankfully for most people, their severe pain is sudden and new, definitely enough to warrant concern and getting checked out.

Still, if the hospital doesn't find an immediate concern, they will usually leave it to the patient to deal with elsewhere.

For the chronic pain patient it's about the changes and subtle differences in the pain, or additional symptoms that count.. keen body awareness and understanding become key.
Pain by itself is not enough.

Yesterday was a tough day, but at least I didn't end up in the hospital emergency, so I'll take the small win.

Still struggling today, but it's still too early to tell which way things will go. 🤞

COVID aside, we should have been wearing masks all along because who wants to eat food that a bunch of strangers have mouth-breathed all over?

Calling it “insanity” to wear a mask to protect yourself from wildfire smoke is demonstrating the equivalent brain power as..

"Just wrap your lips around the vehicle exhaust and breath in deeply."
