Whats your mood?

Sure do love gettin' yelled at for not doing the laundry, on the day I'm bedridden-sick with migraines. Whatever man, it's just noise. I'll feel better in a few hours, and that's something I ought to look forward to.

very serious today, even more than usual

Whoa, what's up, Tang-kun? Somethin' going on?

kind of bored, which is why i'm here!

I think most of us know that feel, darling... What have you been up to lately that's got you feeling all same-y? Has the quarantine been treating you well?

Watching videos of japanese campers lately, it's really comfy and soothes my mind for the time being. Have to find some parks or patches of forest not too far from my home for the days I want a break

The people. I especially the ones that are no bullshit (no talk, maybe sometimes subtitles) doing their own thing but with a camera. Of course this is scenarised and they take great care to make a nice video but most of the time it's just comfy and you forget about it.
Some examples are Aki Can (special episodes from Yuru Camp with the narrator, you can find the episodes here https://smuglo.li/a/res/632534.html#716592), TANA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_egUwhmWY), Hiro (he also does camping videos as a couple, with his wife,  Hiroshi ( , Kuma Riders Camp (so you get to also experience the bike ride,  Morinone (has beautiful shots,
Then you've also got cute stuff like this girl following the steps of Rin from Yuru Camp: 
And now I'll stop because I posted way too many links.

Huh, I see what you mean now. Very comfy indeed :3

Haah~, today's a big day for Backy-chan: She's finally getting better treatment for her migraines. Granted~, first round's just a prelim, and getting poked in the face by three dozen needles is a bit of a pain, but I'm still pretty excited. Wish me luck, 'kay? ^~^

Didn't think you'd be one to complain about that, but good luck nonetheless~

Thanks, love! It honestly wasn't so bad. <3

One of the best parts was how I could hear him drive needles into the side of my head. Every pinch sounded like someone thrashing a thick steak with a well-balanced battleaxe. Would recommend.

Great mood today, sun is bright outside and I can see no clouds! I'm a bit tired because I read up too late yesterday, I like reading too much and chinese novels really know how to grab your attention. Been reading Emperor's Domination lately, good way to escape reality.
Also my parcels never ever, postal services are fucked up these days.

Pretty interesting stuff, I knew about how needles could be used to help temporarily with blood pressure but didn't know it could help with other kind of migraines! Hope you get better soon!

Acupuncture can help in the treatment of migraine by:

  • Providing pain relief - by stimulating nerves located in muscles and other tissues, acupuncture leads to release of endorphins and other neurochumoral factors and changes the processing of pain in the brain and spinal cord (Zhao 2008, Zijlstra 2003, Pomeranz, 1987).

  • Reducing inflammation - by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors (Kim 2008, Kavoussi 2007, Zijlstra 2003).

  • Reducing the degree of cortical spreading depression (an electrical wave in the brain associated with migraine) and plasma  levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P (both implicated in the pathophysiology of migraine) (Shi 2010).

  • Modulating extracranial and intracranial blood flow (Park 2009).

  • Affecting serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine) levels in the brain (Zhong 2007). (Serotonin may be linked to the initiation of migraines; 5-HT agonists (triptans) are used against acute attacks.)

Yeah, the weather really is amazing ^~^ Makes me want to live in the Bahamas or something.

Deliveries seem to have been mostly fine for me. Maybe took one day longer than usual for first class mail to arrive, but other than that there doesn't seem to have been much change over here.

I also don't think it's acupuncture that Backy was going for, but botox injections, which apparently can also work ^_^

You're tough! I don't hink I could handle the heat in the bahamas, I already hide between 12 and 16 lol.

The service here is generally bad I think, with shit tracking, and these days I also got more parcels intercepted by customs. Maybe I just got bad luck though.

12-16? Pfft, that's coat-2nd layer weather for me! I generally avoid going outside until May ^_^'

I may have been a little hasty praising deliveries here. Replacement car mirror was meant to arrive yesterday at the latest 😐
