Today I walked all the way to the mailbox. It feels like a real achievement. All because my buddy mailed me a "get well soon" orchid, and that poor baby couldn't stay out in the cold.
As someone who developed an infection that literally ate the bone away in my jaw until there was nothing holding my teeth in my head except the gums...
Forgive yourself, and then correct the miss. It's okay that you missed brushing, or flossing, or the Dr visit. Now you can do it. And it's okay if you don't have time or energy to floss your whole mouth. Do one tooth now. Doing one is better than none.
And all this applies to more than your mouth. Can't shower? Wash your face or your pits. You might have energy later to shower. Cleaning is just too much? Grab whatever is next to you and take care of just that. This has been my depression stratagy for 25 years. It's not perfect but when you live alone...any little maintenance helps.
“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
So far I'm still coming out on top. I can do this.
Yup
I remember reading this when I was younger. In my 30s I looked for a new copy, and was very pleased to find it stands up well
“Kazul’s not my dragon.“ Cimorene said sharply. “I’m her princess. You’ll never have any luck dealing with dragons if you don’t get these things straight.”

Oh my gosh! Look at this adorable Mycenean look! I've been digging in deep into the textile history of bronze age Crete, Thera, and to a lesser extent the rest of the Aegean. This person hit the Mycenean vibe! Great job!
TERFs die mad: you just reblogged a nasty transgender person with pronouns and all who did this historical look to explore their cultural history as well as express their own nonbinary identity in a way that resonates with them. An edit I wish I didn’t have to make on this post
I’ll try to post the actual pictures I took soon, but I was bored today and wanted to shirk some other responsibilities, so I decided to do some general vague Minoan or Mycenaean look since it’s been on the mind and also my hair was looking really good today and I wanted to take advantage of that haha
