I painted some more bearers with exterior white #2245218721. Made a stew because that's simple to do. Did all of the washing. Worried about someone because rain, but I'm sure it's fine there. Went through photos of my mother. Wrote a short guide for myself on how to spot narcissists and psychopaths because I need that one, as my main weakness is being taken advantage of socially and emotionally, because those early life trauma bonds + Autism will do that to you, and I functionally don't have anyone to watch my back. Chemist.

Hm. Today I got up, showered, did some dishes and then took a nap, and I even ate twice. It's actually pretty impressive because I'm still sick and get exhausted after being upright for more than five minutes. I'm calling today a win.

Added to my injuries.

Hydrochloric acid burn on my ankle.
Nasty thorn wound on my forearm (the arm I'm not supposed to injure)
Cuts on my wrist like I've been trying to suicide (don't even know how I got those)

Maybe I'll collect some more tomorrow.

got up on the fkkking roof and did long-deferred maintenance, cleaning sappy pine needle mounds off, clearing out the thoroughly clogged gutters and letting backed up fetid rainwater finally drain, clearing vents, scraping off green moss, sprinkling anti-moss. am i feeling wrenched now. i quite possibly overdid it. hope payback is mercifully mild. my hip is already giving me ominous twinges. but i couldn't get anybody else to do it.

Thoroughly beat the hell out of the Trail Master's edge on a rock to see how well the steel and convex edge holds up from such abuse after throwing it at the fallen tree for an hour or so for fun (I'm not good at it, so...uh, I messed up the edge doing that so I figured I may as well go all the way). Alright, and it won't take me long to bring it back. Went for a walk through the woods/forest for a few hours. Didn't see/hear anything of note. One twig snap, and no idea what caused that one because I heard and saw nothing moving, nor anything falling to cause it. Food, so I can do such. Chemist again, and they threw a heap of rapid antigen tests in my bag for "free" (uh, thanks), which I guess is because of the special card. Galvanized brackets apparently rust. :? Day to day; carer to carer.

Had a vocal lesson today. More of a guided test to see what I can do. See, I have a monotone and quiet speaking voice, and if I am as reserved in singing as I am in speaking, my singing voice is pathetic. So, we just experimented with being expressive and loud. I actually found it easy to be expressive. And for the second time, we video'd me singing so I can see what I look like as I sing.

Can't yet sing on-key, but my biggest fear--that my singing voice would be weak, pathetic and not expressive--has been laid to rest. Also, my timing is pretty good.

My singing voice, when I am loud, actually sounds nothing like my speaking voice. And I have another, entirely different voice when I scream, lol. I wear out my voice pretty fast screaming, though. I'm told we can fix that.

Eer... I managed to not make a complete fool out of myself in front of the plumber that came to fix the kitchen faucet? A fool yes, but not a complete fool... I think?

Do you mean screaming like harsh vocals? If so there's definitely proper technique to learn that will avoid significantly stressing your voice. Ideally you shouldn't be using your vocal cords at all for harsh vocals, it's all either vocal fry or false vocal cords. That and, push like you're trying to push out a dump, or a baby.

Actually, once you learn all sorts of stuff relevant to singing you'll realize some of it is also applicable to performative speaking. Like, if you need to project your voice for whatever purpose it ends up using somewhat similar technique to singing, for example.

Presented at emergency for one of my aforementioned injuries.
Doctor said if I'd left it any longer I'd in hospital on a drip right now.
Feel wasted.
