Melancholy

I slept ok last night but had horrible night terrors in the early morning with that weird, ultra deep sleep thing but to a slightly lesser degree the beets induced yesterday. So I obviously was feeling some bounce back from that but the big issue is I have no idea what it was about them that did it. The rest of the day I felt rather melancholic with a side of cold. I've also been scrambling with phone calls and emails trying to get the things I need for my renewal of food benefits but I'm not sure if I'm going to get them back. This job should be stable for quite a while though so I don't expect anything to go wrong, it's certainly gotten eaiser for me as I've become more automated at doing it. Come to find out the iodine supplement I ordered also has not just the form I mentioned in it that won't saturate the thyroid but iodine itself and now I don't think I really want to touch it. I may try upping my D3 to 5000 iu and seeing what happens as I don't know what else to do right now. I could see what happens when I go without K2 for a while but I don't think that's a good idea. There was a point where my dose was 5000 iu every other day and I'm not sure if that would be better for me than 2500 iu daily, it's just something I'd need to check. I also pulled the trigger on a Kobo ereader hoping that I can handle using it. I don't need to use the LED backlight and the e-ink display when I used it at the store didn't seem to bother anything itself. I just hope the rest of the radiation output from the electronics in it itself is tolerable. All in all the waiting game continues and tomorrow I'll see how I handle the Kobo, if not I may have to give up on reading as I have no non-expensive options since I can't go to the library because of my mold sensitivity. I also hope I'll feel ok by Monday as I have that Creed concert that got delayed till then, I am enjoying music right now so it should be fine and the trace amount of second hand weed being smoked in copious amounts there tends to make me feel a bit more "me" as long as I don't get exposed to more than that and then I feel insane and things go backwards. On that note I do want to try kava again and I could just go down to target and pick up the Yogi tea and see what it does to me at a baseline in this state but that stuff also contains other herbs in it which make it a bit more risky to try. All in all I'm still in a very transitional period right now and I don't have much else to do but keep powering through it.

i got myself a boox tab. first got a note 3c but it exhausted my eyes after 30 mintes. not from the light but from the screen.
i ordere a boox ultra tab c pro that was better. the other had a special screen to give the scratch feeling for the pen.
i was horrified when i noticed that my notebook was easier on my eyes as was the eink tablet. but i think i manage now with the tab ultra c. i really love that it is a android tablet. so i use it like a normal computer almost.

beets are extremly rich in betain. so you might experiene effects of methylation. i guess simliar like cholin might do. or methylated vitamins.

there are epaper monitors , so they come without wifi, just plug in cable. also boox has one. and there was another company just releasing a 12" color external monitor. with battery.
as its just a display device, oor if you use your kobo offline, you might wrap it with some anti radiation mesh. might be enough to cover everything except the screen.
if you use a epaper monitor you can wrap your computer in the mesh as the monitor itself wont do much. if you plug in mouse and keyboard with cable you might be good to go.

there is even anti emf radiation clothes right now, and hats... maybe i should get a blanket and make myself a tent indoors to check if that helps.


heres mine with backlight on at 30% in a moody lit room ambient.

these new epaper screens are insane, i can play games and watch videos. and tv. dark scenes are a bit hard, but overall really nice. point and click adventures from back in the day look on the epaper even better as on real screen.
