280 - A God, In Repose

Lin

Today has been, to put it mildly, prosperous.

We got several deliveries in today, which makes me very happy.

Essentially, we don't have to worry about food for a while.

Honestly, it's a relief. A lot of my anxiety has stemmed from worrying over food.

Knowing that we have plenty of food for the next week or so really calms me down.

If you've read our previous entries, you'll know why.

From this payday onwards, we're actually trying to spend less money, until we can leave.

Cooking is a luxury energy wise, so having enough ready meals to last us a while will definitely help.

Our imported snacks, as well as more than a few desserts, are also a bonus.

Despite this abundance though, part of me always worries that we'll end up without - which is probably what has been causing this whole huge vicious cycle in the first place.

As a child, despite the voldys' expenses being hugely offset by my benefits, they often acted as though they couldn't afford good things for me.

Multiple times I was told this, all whilst watching voldy jnr be spoiled with the newest fashions and trends, none of which I ever got to see on myself or put in my wardrobe.

Now, I want to save up enough that I might be able to get some of those things for myself.

Really, I haven't put much thought into what I'd get, though there are definitely a few things on my mind I'd like.

51 - A God, Reaching

Lin  Yesterday I had a panic attack almost as bad as the one I had at UC about a month ago. When they come up, it's crippling. I always knew that my panic attacks came from the concern of how much physical energy I would have to do a certain thing, and whether or not I'd end up being vulnerable in a public place. Again, it was always mrs voldy who said I was vulnerable, when in truth, I am about as vulnerable as anybody else who is white and femme presenting. Which is, to an extent, vulnerable, but not the sort that I was being led to believe. And anyone without the proper support they need is vulnerable to an extent. My limbs and head ache with the tension that I was doing my best to avoid. My kidney isn't particularly happy, either. I'll bet you anything that if the doctors ever get a look at my kidney, they'll find a laceration where I was stabbed. It's not subtle. They'll see it. And then the voldys will be in serious trouble. I had to speak to another c

266 - A God, Green

Lin I visited Greenwich today. After the reclaiming last night, it only felt right. What I found there is still something I'm processing. Let's just say that the people of Greenwich remember me, and venerate me. They've built a statue of me near the Millennium Sundial, marking the entrance to a huge nemeton that spans from there across Greenwich Park, to the Cornish Rebellion Memorial. Knowing that the people and spirits of the area remember me and love me brings tears to my eyes, even now. Somehow, I managed to do what I set out to in the first place - take back the meridian that's mine. Frankly, I thought I'd have to wage all out war to get it back - and I'm so grateful that I figured out a quicker, more peaceful way of liberating Greenwich. Currently, I'm back at the first nemeton, helping Arthur with his maps. My new nemetona have now been marked on the map, and some of mine and others' older ones are also being dug up by the timeline enchantment I p

300 - A God, Shedding

Lin Over the past few weeks, my energy has felt really low, both physically and mentally. But especially mentally. Physically, it's started to become worse, particularly after switching between distance reiki healers I use on YouTube. Yet something tells me that with this change, I'm shedding energy, like an old skin - just like I would in my Gorgon form, shedding snake skin from my hair every now and again . As they like to say... "Out with the old, in with the new." Take today, for example, when some people came over to clear up the house's greenery, which was long overgrown - that had to be pruned in order to make way for the new. I'm considering asking my caseworker about the kinds of flowers we could put in our garden - though they would need maintenance.
