Back at the marsh

Cycle 2, Day 5

Immediately noticeable side effects were pretty easy this time. I've learned how to properly take my side effect medicine, especially the one for nausea. My energy levels are back near where they were on last day 14.

But it was a bad weekend for my hair. After carefully brushing out a mat that developed over the weekend (probably started earlier, I've been really scared to touch it at all) I lost half a sink full. I knew this was coming.

Today I speak for the trees

A branch with leaves and unripe berries is in centre frame, a man with long green hair stands off to the left of it

I didn't intend for this plant to be in frame, but I'm going to try again sometime.

Waiting for my Catbus

A human is photographed from behind, only long green hair is visible, a road and wetland are visible

No geese, few ducks, two swans.

I overdid it, I should have done the 2km walk, not the 3.5km one. I've just realized my mistake, but I already passed half way, so I have to keep going.

The giant blade of grass at the middle left ruined a bunch or the great photos because it is a cruel abstraction

A man with long green hair lays in bed, an orange cat with wide eyes lies in front of him, a large Squishmallow fish next to him

I moved the Squishmallows to their hammocks and Thomasin is instantly happy to have her fifth favourite napping spot back. She immediately came for a snuggle and even let take this photo
