- On Monday i talked to the doctor about parts of my body going numb (peripheral neuropathy)
- They were a little mocking and weird about it when i asked if it could be diabetes (because it seems to happen when i eat stuff that would raise my blood sugar)
- They issued a blood test
- Abe collected it on his way home, also bringing taco ingredients
- My body hurts
- most meals this week have been tacos
- corn tacos are gluten free, low gi and delicious
- Mex Grocer is a wonderful place
- next day delivery
- Komali are the tastiest brand
- Komali Tradicional are 15cm, good size
- Read about heirloom corn (archive.org link)
- in this clip from True Detective, when McConnahuey says "Again, and again, forever" he has Simon Legg's exact mannerisms and facial expressions
- added indieweb features to my blog
- it turns out there's a bunch of wordpress plugins for indieweb
- and i don't have to do any work to support things like Webmentions
- and there's a theme that adds a bunch of semantic html to post types. it's amazing
- i've forked that theme; "rabbit sempress" is what i'm using here
- i informed my RSS subscribers that the feed may get more noisy
- and now i can replace Telecam and chee.party/audio with wordpress lol
- also if i ever stop being a weirdo about social media then i can feed those RSS feeds to stuff like Twitter and Instagram
- using "post own site, syndicate elsewhere" (POSSE) turns social networks into nodes
- i post something on my blog, it gets syndicated to Twitter
- you like it from your site. the like gets syndicated to Twitter
- the like is then picked up by something like Bridgy which sends a Webmention to my blog
- Our nodes have used Twitter as a node to communicate
- Social networks no longer the network, now nodes on a wider network: the web
- On Tuesday, I had the blood test
- the person said "I am a student: is it OK if I take your blood?"
- PSA: You should stop using AWS in your personal projects
- Abe woke up in the middle of the night and said
-
"Hello! I'm looking at the lights-- Not the lights but the reflectives. They store the energy???"
-
and then went back to sleep
-
- On Thursday I got my blood results
- My average blood sugar has been over twice as high as the top-end of "normal range" for at least a month
- On Friday night we opened booking.com and filtered "Greater London" by "has bath" and booked the first result
- We're in Harrow now
- It's cute here
- We got a bunch of bath products like radox, and bath bombs, and bubble bath and a bunch of masks (face, eye, hair, boob & bum)
- i am so clean
