Goodnight friends! Some flitting cloud cover and a stiff, chilly wind, but at least despite the sandpapery air temperatures are closer to 10 than 0°c. Drifts of dark smoky cumulus wreathed the low-hanging sun, but there were still long spindly shadows and glinting on droplets caught in the grass. Some rain later in the day as clouds settled in with purplish murk of dusk.
I’m a few days into the baseline period for the drug trial. Since I try to talk about my health and symptoms in my diary I hadn’t expected the daily surveys would impact me much, but the more objective medical context of listing and rating symptoms has put me into a mildly depressive mood. I’ve had over 20 years now to gradually atune myself to a personal normal, and part of that has involved looking slightly away from just how much, on a numerical scale, fatigue or some degree of constant forgetful confusion limit my life.
May we find a sense of acceptance and peace today!
