My friend is going through chemo treatment, which is wrecking their tastebuds in various ways, and they told me after each infusion they can’t stand the “texture” of water for a few days. Thankfully, it’s also wrecking their cancer!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your "great I am an old person now" complaint?
10·28 days agoI woke up this morning barely able to walk on my left foot. No idea what happened to it, was fine yesterday.
How about book clubs? I’m in a couple, and my neighborhood has monthly silent book clubs (bookended with socializing time). Both an opportunity to socialize during meetups, and a great way to occupy your time in between.
When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.
Again, I feel introversion is being conflated with social anxiety. I’m totally fine with and even enjoy being around people, I just need a lot of alone time to recharge my battery. Though people see my confidence in social situations and never believe I’m introverted.
Obviously a privileged position, but I wish I were.

3·2 months agoMan, I have my diabetes under control now (6.0 A1C) but never stopped peeing all the time. I can’t remember the last night of sleep I got with less than a few bathroom visits. Didn’t help I had to get on a diuretic for my blood pressure.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you sing to your pet or have other silly interactions with them?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does one learn or start to manage thair life better?
5·2 months agoA little more context would be helpful, but in general, I think Atomic Habits and Digital Minimalism remain two of the best books in this general vein.
Whether a diet is vegan or not has literally nothing to do with how healthy it is.

Yes!
