Foodie's messed up energy priorities

Quick update from me, nothing interesting to read here.

I've been having a bit of a rough week. It's nothing really big. It's not like I'm really sick or anything, I'm just not feeling well. I've been feeling more tired, a little nauseous and I can't, for the life of me, regulate my own body temperature. Not that that's ever been working well for me, but it's worse this week. Sweater on, sweater off, blanket on, blanket off, sweating like a mad man, feeling very cold. Ugh! No fever though, weirdly.

I hope this is my immune system being very slow in dealing with the vaccine and hope I'll be fine in a few days. I wasn't that high on energy to start with, so I'd be very happy to get the little I had back.

I'm stupid in that as soon as I find a small pocket of energy, I expend it right away. It's like "Oh, I've been lying on the couch for half an hour, because I feel like crap, but look, I can open my eyes without the world spinning, so why not read about all of this world's problems and make sure that spinning sensation comes right back!". So stupid. I'm trying to work on that. I should just block the news site on my phone. Better yet, lock away that entire phone.

There's way too much rain and water in the south. Cars being drowned, people having to leave their homes (or floating out of them). It sucks! But I can't do anything about it, so why keep reading? And why the heck read the comments? I mean, it just shows how moronic humanity is. Honestly, comments on news sites are so depressing. "Last year, people complained about climate change, because of the hot, dry weather and now look at all of this massive rain fall. Climate change is a hoax! Duuuuh!". Soooooo depressing, so moronic. I can just see them typing this, mouth open, a little drool dribbling out... But I can't do anything about this. I know what I would do about it and most people would probably think it's best I'm not in the drivers seat there.

So why keep reading it!

Ugh, gotta spend that energy more wisely. There was a time in my life where I didn't care about news and actualities at all. What a beautiful, simple time that was...

Yesterday, I tried to ban screens from my life. I was only partially successful. There was still my phone with Instagram and ofcourse, I need to bombard my followers with a daily stream of tortured animals, hoping their cognitive dissonance will eventually clear up. And that stupid, stupid news site... And after listening to instrumental music for a couple of hours, I got bored and watched some tv. So weak.

I did skip out on the pc most of the day though! It was on for a couple of minutes at most. Proud of that one. I was a little worried, because the day before, I tried a game in first person and got really nauseous after a couple of minutes.

Should definitely reduce screen time.

Well, anyway, I'm drawing a blank now. Gosh, I do hope this clears up soon. Mum's coming over today, so that automatically means less screen time!

I'll try to get myself healthy again, just don't expect a lot of engagement from me right now. But I have to get better one day, right? Just in time for a new job to use what little energy I have on.

Bah, adult life.

Hope you feel better soon! 🙂

I try my best not to pay attention to the news. If it's not something major, to do with my personal life in my immediate surroundings, chances are I don't know about it. Some might call me ignorant, but, eh. It's far more pleasant this way.

Yes, exactly that! I was that way before and it was so much easier to live a positive life. I really should try to get back to that. It's not like I work in politics and need to know any of this stuff.

Thank you 🤗

But I think you mentioned the news site/app about 3+ times so why not delete it... RIGHT NOW?
Haha no pressure though

Tough love, very good! The news site is kinda just on my browser though and I do need that browser. But you are very right and I need to be a little more strict with myself 😅
Thank you!

Hope you feel better! News is poison. People seem to need to feel scared, hate and all that other negative shit right now. It’s quite sad.

Thanks! News is just very depressing. The only news worth mentioning seems to be bad news and the comments from 'regular folk' underneath news items show how moronic a lot of humans are. Aside from pure stupidity, it also shows how much everyone operates in black and whites now. No shades of gray. You can either be for something, or against it, there is no middle ground anymore. People suck.

It’s not the average person that sucks, it’s that they are guided into those buckets by manipulation from some sick people. If you repeat something enough times a lot of people consider it accurate which is what the basis of the television talking people call “news”. They rely on this psychological manipulation to force consent without having to do anything drastic. Best thing to do is turn off the news for good.

Hope you'll feel better soon! when I was sick, I only watch Dry Bar comedy it's a standup channel on youtube. I have been advised by family and friends to avoid covid news and only watch funny stuff. For news and novelty junkie like me, it was hard. I still watched the news but I tried to limit only 20 minutes. It's good to keep up with the news but since you notice it's causing to you feel bad, limiting would be a good idea.

Thank you! Reading a couple of news items is okay for me, but I really, REALLY shouldn't read the comments on them. Luckily, the news site has started protecting me from that by forcing readers to create an account if they want to read more than a few comments. So nice of them :-)

I do try to stay away more either way, that is good advice!
