do you believe you can walk on water?

* actually because of the time I'm writing this it's actually more like "bedtime"

We did quite a bit today... We...

• mowed the front lawn and backyard
• swapped out the light switch cover plates in the bathrooms and our bedroom
• sorted through all the extra hardware (screws, nails, etc) in our computer tech toolbox that accidentally became an "all purpose" toolbox catch-all
• put all of that extra hardware into the appropriate drawers of my dad's plano
• took apart my glasses and deep cleaned them (they were disgusting)
• found a spot for the Plano to go and still be accessible

This might not sound like a lot to you, but as someone with chronic fatigue issues this is a lot for me. I am going to pay for this tomorrow! Luckily my to do list for tomorrow is just

• take a shower
• do laundry and
• fold laundry

and even then I might not be able to do all of that... Seeing as we have to do two loads again... Yeah. Thinking about it has me exhausted.

"Why not just continue to do one load?"
Because it ends up being so large it's a pain to dry and...we have to have a completely separate load of just underwear because for our regular load we use those Unstoppables scent bead things you throw in the wash with your clothing and Aleks decided he didn't want to split things up anymore (this was until we discovered the problem I'm about to talk about and the whole "drying takes three or four cycles") so everything went in as one...and he used the scented beads.

well. my skin can be very, very sensitive on the best of days! And like. at first I was okay? Until I wasn't. I started itching so bad in some VERY sensitive places that my skin was rubbed raw. Now I have eczema and I get flare ups in some really awful places at times so I thought that's what this was. But I've never had it this bad. Sometimes when your pH level is off things are itchy and horrible but it's never been this bad.

So we have underwear from before he switched over to just one load of everything... Iiiiit's the scented beads lol it could be the scent, it could be dyes, it could be anything. So yeah. Two loads now. Which is a lot sometimes. So we might have to do one load tomorrow/later (since it's after midnight) and then one load the next day. I hate being like this and the fact that it didn't used to be this bad but then I got Covid and that fucked me up bad so... Yeah. I have to use mobility aids at times now, which I also hate because then I have to remember to bring them and it's just...a mess.

If I do only one load of laundry tomorrow then so be it I guess idk! idk.

Whilst watching a storm chaser livestream on Youtube, I took a nap before dinner, because I was so tired I couldn't even keep my eyes open.
