I've decided to do a raffle for the opening day of ThePlayRoom.Online.Com, my virtual book boutique...
If you place an order on opening day, you'll be entered into a drawing for a free copy of Chronically, to go out quietly, shipped with your order.

It's been a while since I introduced myself!
My name is Melanie and I am a British immigrant living in Iceland! I've been here since 2022 and moved because I married an Icelander 🇬🇧🇮🇸
Ask me anything!!

And so another year commences...
2026 is the year for rest and recovery and the marks the first year I'm going to make an actual effort to look after my body.
You can read all about it on my Substack!

( ID: No, my chronic pain doesn't make your occasional aches and pain less valid. But your occasional aches and pains don't magically grant you understanding of what I feel everyday. )
I've never diminished what other people are going through - but when they tell me to "try some yoga" or "go for a walk" it really irks me.

( ID: Let me be angry that I'm chronically ill. Let me feel jealous, and cheated, and all the horrible feelings that come before acceptance. I'm not yet ready to accept that my life will be full of chronic pain and fatigue and migraines and vomiting. Eventually I'll figure it out, and I'll learn to live with it. But right now I'm scared and confused and I'm angry. This is really important. Even when you do learn to live with it - and you will - it's okay to get angry, especially on bad days. Feelings hit you in waves, and being honest abotu your anger isn't a bad thing. )
Felt this. I have days of acceptance, days of frustration, days of anger, days of sadness… it all just comes and goes.

( ID: Tumblr user saxifraga-x-urbium: important home cooking edicts: you can sit down to do it you can buy things pre-chopped frozen is fine tinned is fine microwave is fine the powder version is fine the box mix is fine the correct recipe is the one that you like the most the correct method is the one that you can do good nutrition is the food you can actually eat and enjoy do not eat mouldy or rotten food you do not need to wash the chicken you are going to cook the chicken washing the chicken just spreads raw meat bacteria all over the kitchen please stop washing chicken it is not necessary and it is the opposite of helpful don't use raw meat knife for raw veggies or cheese unless you've washed it good authenticity is a lie, make the version that you personally enjoy you are the person who is going to be eating it i am serious stop giving a fuck about someone's imaginary nonna disapproving of your food she's not the one eating it you are the correct amount of spice is the amount you are happy with food that looks a mess can still taste just fine, your stomach isn't instagram check you turned the stove off after all condiments go with all things it is your mouth they're going into unusal flavour combinations can be really effective! check the plastic/glass is heatsafe before putting boiling water in it )
( ID: most foods can be frozen do not put dripping wet thing into hot fat. regret. salt set timer. "i'll just remember it's in the oven" that is the devil talking set a fucking timer the washing machine is not a cooking appliance if the cat has sat on it or licked it you need to wash it before you eat with/from it. see also dog wash hands after handling raw meat and before handling cheese that you're not cooking. most germs do not survive being cast into the flames if you like cheese you can and should put cheese on that. do not eat the off egg. it will not be fine. you will have a bad bathroom time. different oils have different smoke points. a smoke point is when the pan starts smoking. it makes stuff taste less good and stick to the pan. sometimes less heat for longer is what you want. you cannot always do big heat for short time. if you want short time because you're in a hurry: microwave. do not put the wet thing in the toaster it can be soup. it can always be soup. non-stick does not mean no oil skipping preheating is not a good idea and makes things stick to stuff and cook weirdly the correct texture for the noodles/pasta is the one that you are happy eating see also egg )
One of my golden rules: fed is best.
I’ll eat dinner at breakfast if I want, and desert for dinner if I want.
