Slightly odd self-care

jeshyrThis is my official week of unsubscribing from ALL THE THINGS.
Well, not quite all of them ... but mailing lists, email newsletters, email advertisements, RSS feeds, DW communities, reading list people, etc. Pretty much for each one I'm thinking "will I really miss this if I don't see it?" and unsubscribing unless the answer is that I would hate to be without it.
I've been overloaded with information since I'm sicker than 6 months ago so I can't deal with quite as much, and also it creeps up so easily in this age of information!
So yes, if you notice I've unsubscribed from your Dreamwidth or LiveJournal blog, this is why and please take no offence. You're welcome to keep reading my stuff if you'd like to, I don't lock things so I don't use access lists (LJ: "friends lock") and I'm happy to have people reading anything they enjoy.
What's your oddest-seeming method of self-care??
Hugs,

Date: 2012-01-16 09:04 am (UTC)i suck at self-care, as shown by my not seeking medical attention until my cancer had reached Stage 2. (well, and also not being able to afford medical care - insert rant on America's lack of basic health coverage here.) sometimes i seem to need to be "given permission" to eat or sleep, rather than continue doing whatever i was doing that was far more important than such self-indulgent wastes of time :-(
