Heart symptoms

On last week's Tuesday I played too much Dreamlight Valley, which I borrowed from the library. After midnight I ate the leftovers from a bag of chips when I felt sick. My left arm went numb and my heart was pounding. My neck was a mess, of course. At half past four in the morning I woke up and my heart was pounding so much that I had to take pills. Aspirin, hawthorn and magnesium.

 

 

My heart has been fine for a long time, and I don't know what caused this. It usually happens after drinking, and I haven't done that this year. When you know that the cause of the numbness in my left hand is either a heart attack or a neck strain. On the other hand, tartar removal and bleeding/inflammation of the gums can cause anything.

I remember my worst period six years ago, which basically started on Midsummer's Eve and lasted past my birthday. Then I finally got a pneumothorax, and I was literally so low on oxygen that I couldn't even go out to eat on my 40th birthday.

I took NAC for a few days after a long time because I was having pain in the ass caused by endometriosis. It's unlikely that it's related to anything.

 

 

 

Meridol mouthwash

 

I have been using Meridol mouthwash occasionally for decades. Now I noticed that its formula has been changed by adding many different substances. One of them is a sweetener, I don't understand why when xylitol was already in it. My mouth burned after using it, it's hard to know which of the new substances caused it. So goodbye Meridol. I also noticed that other mouthwashes also use a lot of sweeteners. It's hard to find a mouthwash that can't contain, for example, alcohol or sorbitol, and that mouthwash should be specifically intended for the well-being of the gums.

Aqua, Xylitol, PVP, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Olaflur, Aroma, Stannous Fluoride, Sodium Saccharin, CL 42051.

Resident Evil 9

It's a bit of a bummer. How many game shows have I watched over the years just because I wanted to see when RE9 was announced? How many hours?

Last week, at midnight Finnish time, Summer Game Fest started. At 1:15 I gave up. About an hour later, I found out that RE9 was announced right when I wasn't watching. So, time to cry.

What did I learn from this? Don't watch game shows, it's pointless anyway.

 

 

 

Dumb phone

If I'm still alive, I'll probably have to give up using my phone. They claim that non-smartphones won't soon work at all. So the marginalization is real. Well, why would I need a phone living under a bridge?

 

 

Remembering my cat Kali

My oldest cat, Kali, who passed away last October, would have turned 20 today.

Kali moved to my home in October 2009 at the age of four. She had had three litters of kittens with her previous owner, the firstborn, Olivia, already living with me.

 

 

Taking Kali was wrong, three cats were too many in a small apartment. Even though we moved to bigger apartments, over the years we thought about giving Kali to another home many times. Tabitha never liked Kali, just like she didn't like any other cats.

Kali had not yet been sterilized at the time, and during her first heat, she tried to offer herself to her daughter Olivia.

 

 

Kali couldn't use the cat litter boxes with doors, and at first I only took the door off one of the litter boxes. Kali didn't like it and peed in the wrong places.

Kali was a small, kind and social cat. That's why it was especially sad that she ended up being the only cat at the end of her life.

 

 

Before she died, Kali kept wanting to go to the balcony, but it was too cold. Now it's summer again, but Kali is no longer here to enjoy it. (The balcony pictures are from April 2011)

 

 

My life as a cat

Strange life. No drinking, no gaming. PS5 hadn't been started for a long time. Normally it would be on every day. I realized that there is a lot of free time in life when you're not gaming.

But then a news bombshell hit. Which I only found out about many weeks later. I had been waiting for a year (!) for the cat game Little Kitty, Big City to come to Playstation. And I found out about it two weeks after the release date. I rushed to buy it. And played through it twice. A wonderful game, of course a bit expensive considering its scope.

 

 

And when there are no school courses to do, there hasn't been much to do. I should write, and that is what I was meaning to do. But I should try to protect my eyes from overexertion. It hurts my eyes and they feel really dry.

Well, when I finally got around to starting, editing my first novel has been going well. I set a goal of sorts to finish that round by my birthday, so that I could then focus on my second (third) latest novel idea after that. The one I would most like to finish. It seems to be just under 27,000 words at the moment, so that would be enough work. Of course, there are still too many short story ideas coming.

 

 

Only I know how to ruin the kitchen rug by buying fish. The fish fat dripped onto the rug and then it smelled so bad that the whole apartment smelled of it.

I finally got to see a dental hygienist when the last appointment was canceled. I wanted to stop drinking tea so my teeth wouldn't stain again. It's hard for an addict to stop drinking tea cold turkey. A few days later I realized that life without tea isn't worth living. And I got a sore throat, which gave me an excuse to go back to drinking tea.

I had to have my passport photo taken on the same trip, and my passport has been ordered. I'd like to go to a bar in the summer, and go on that cruise. But how would I manage that? Just on the train ride, my legs would swell and hurt, not to mention all the other aches and fatigue.
