Head space outer limits

Posted on February 19, 2013 by heretherebespiders

I think I’ve titled a post ‘Where’s my head at?’ before. Shame. I doubt I did it justice… but there’s no chance I’m going to make anything resembling sense right now.

Screen shot of a “free” app I have, called Paper. The app is a bit, um, up it’s own arse, to be honest. But daaaamn, my handwriting never looked so good. In one take, too! In the head-space I’m in, also! Normally my writing looks like a 7-year-old on acid was writing with her off hand.

I’m not sleeping, my intestines are on strike, I have eczema on my hands and one foot (no cause determined, but no fungus thank fuck, that’s just too narsty. And too easily cured, of course). Possibly stress-related, possibly contact-related. Oh, joy. It’s not enough that my joints, my digestive system, and my heart have all jumped on the stress-symptom-bandwagon, now my goddamn hands and left foot have gotten into the act. What’s next? Oh yes, the twitch in my left eye for the last three weeks, perhaps? Who knows what my pancreas is plotting, or what my spleen is scheming?

Anyhoo there’s too much going on in there for me to discuss at length. So (hopefully, as I seem to have lost the knack for embedding a vid) here’s a video that I think of quite often when my brain is all over the shop (or the locker, or the shower, or in a a dog’s mouth…)

So – I can’t do it right. Here’s a couple of screen shots. Copyright I’m sure Stephen King or the TV company, sorry.

Oh. ick. Have you tried old fashion oatmeal baths? Soothing.
Lack of sleep messes up everything. HUGs and hope you get some rest.
(maybe I’l try that app, looking for something for an iPad. any suggestions….or does it make you itchy to think about it? *giggles*) Really hope you feel better,

  Well, the free version is exactly what you see. One pen, those colours, and several ‘books’ like moleskines to work in. Meh. What were you wanting to do?

    Just explore potential right now – I used to paint, but no room for studio here.
    (The itches you have remind me of a nurse friend who found out she was allergic to latex – she had to switch to different gloves in the OR. Apparently latex is in lots of stuff)

      I LOVE Brushes. https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/brushes-ipad-edition/id363590649?mt=8
      I see there’s a new version, too. Daaamit.
      I wish I could figure it out, but no luck so far!

        I am a total iPad JUNKIE. books, news, blogging, games, art, social media, photography…use most of these daily!

        ah, so you’re my new expert! All I’ve done is download a book

        What reader are you using? I’ve got iBooks, Kindle and Stanza. I like Stanza best, for reading in bed, and the fact I can easily see how far into the book I am. Worst thing for me reading digital is I can’t tell by the amount of pages left that I’m near the end – SUCH a disappointment at times! The WordPress app is good, I use that for new posts. Flipboard is good for news and more. I also prefer the Facebook app to logging in via safari, but it doesn’t always do everything I want it to.

Spleen…pancreas….they are all traitors. I am thinking of you, positive thoughts if that’s any consolation. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

  I need to take myself elsewhere, I think! Away from job I actively dislike, the car that’s broken AGAIN, the shite from my past that keeps coming back to haunt me, the body that has given up on me… I need a vacation!

  It’s an unusual thing for me, actually. I’m usually very, very good at sleeping. Especially when I shouldn’t be. But I think that’s a symptom rather than a cause.
  
  Thanks – but you’ve SEEN my real writing, it looks nothing like that!

      Gak! It’s always made me a little crazy that I can draw but not write nicely. My sister and best friend put me to shame!

Your writing looks a lot better than mine! I should get that if it cleans up cursive so nicely.

Abracadammit! Hope you feel better soon!

  Oh, that is 100% the beautiful app. Thanks for the well-wishes – is there a cure for being just a titch crazy?

    If there is, I’m beyond it now. My advice is just to enjoy it!
