April 30, 2026: Rhombal Knives

I woke up this morning in a lot of pain. Like a 7-8. I’m usually riding at a constant 3-4 in my joints, and like a 2 in my spine, but this was worse. Way worse. I’ve been known to cry a lot from emotional pain, but physical pain almost never breaks me. I’ve never been to the doctor for pain before. I’m 29, I shouldn’t be hurting this much.

I went to urgent care. Got a couple stab wounds that got filled with some kind of elixir of calm and an elixir of reduce pain. It’s coming back now, I think it’s time to take some ibuprofen. I hate that stuff, always makes me feel icky.

So my rhomboid muscle is all beansed up. I feel like a knife block, every shift in my neck reminds me that existence is pain.

I’m not normally this much of a downer but like, fuuuuuck man this is awful.

Media bores me lately. I feel like I’m consuming all the time. I want to create. I started learning C, using Wikibooks. I played around with it in Free-DOS a while back but that doesn’t quite accomplish what I’m trying to do, it’s too limited. So I started in Code-OSS with a JIT compiler for C (I didn’t know those existed and I’m thrilled).

I’m gonna teach myself C++ eventually too, because I want to make games in my free time and pygame is ass. I’m gonna say that again, because I need to internalize it. PYGAME IS ASS.

I was playing my SP-Handheld at the urgent care while waiting for my doctor and I came within a few hundred points of setting my high score on Pacman Championship Edition. I got to 224k points, which I’m pretty sure is a lot but nobody plays that game so there’s no public leaderboards to look at.

Love y’all,
Nora
