Fidget's neck and shoulder in late afternoon light.

   

Fidget is sleeping more (also more deeply) what with Lyme disease and doxycycline.

 

Faithful girl that she is, she always lies down to sleep in the middle of her flock.

For most of my life I have suffered from a mental illness that is poorly-understood and largely unknown. It goes by several names, but the most common are excoriation disorder, compulsive skin picking disorder, and dermatillomania.

 

There's a lot of shame and embarrassment associated with this illness, and most of those who suffer from it are women. (And as far as treating and understanding illnesses that are primarily had by women, doctors haven't got a very good track record.)

 

As you can see in this photograph, my fingers are a target of my picking. So is my face, my scalp, and anywhere I see (or perceive) a scab or blemish. This illness exposes itself in waves for me; some days, between flareups, my skin will be clear and I'll wonder if I truly am ill. Other days, and these are far more common, I'll find myself perched in front of the bathroom mirror in a dissociative, trancelike state, obsessing over my face, and by the time I snap out of it half an hour has gone by.

 

I've had doctors tell me "You look fine" and "I've got patients who have it far worse than you." The therapists I've seen over the years have not brought anything worthwhile to the table in terms of management.

 

Since the age of seven I have been burdened by the secret shame of this illness. I was too embarrassed and ashamed to talk about it or ask for help, and it wasn't until in recent years that I found others on the internet who are suffering from the exact same problem, also too ashamed to speak out. This is the first time I have spoken publicly about it.

 

I got a fidget cube in the mail today, and while they weren't designed specifically for those with excoriation disorder, they have helped people like myself manage their picking. I'm not looking for a cure; I simply need to manage it, and hopefully this will help me.

Fidget, Migs, Mono and Rekons in Leicester 2014

She's a brave, dedicated and level-headed livestock guardian. And she's as good a friend as you'd ever want.

Practicing posing with Izzy.

 

It looks better when she does this in a snowy scene, sort of like one of those black velvet wolf paintings you see at flea markets. :)

 

Fidget's actually just doing a routine bark at a dirt biker on a nearby gas pipeline.

  

A basic "skeleton" for new design variations based on my Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube.

 

Each of these "skeletons" has a lot of free space for new folding cube designs. The 1x1 round plates (black and yellow in the "skeleton" model) can also be replaced by any parts that can fill a 1x2x2/3 gap.

 

And there will be even more possible variations if you apply the "orange" changes only on one side of the cube/cuboid creating a non symmetrical "skeleton".

 

After all you have a lot of possibilities to build some cool stuff around it.

This is a custom fidget toy I made using my LEGO pieces. It can be used in many different ways, and I can be colored in green, blue, red, yellow, white, and black. This fidget toy is pocket sized for easy travel and durability. You can make own by using instructions here: www.etsy.com/shop/LEGOInstructions

MDES Industrial Design 2023

 

Aluminum, acrylic

 

These fidget sculptures are designed to be interacted with on a desktop. Each piece features a rounded base, to allow for spinning, rocking, and exploring balance, as well as a removable upper piece. The two-piece designs are very simple, but allow the piece to be taken apart and put back together again with a satisfying fit. I focused on creating an elegant geometric form that can be enjoyed as a static object and that also promotes movement and engagement. These pieces were created in the ID Metal Shop. Credit to Haroon Waseem for the fabrication of the all-aluminum piece.

Day 118 - The latest craze with 'the youth of today'! Our pair love these fidget spinners.

I was walking past a bramble bush by the towpath on the Exeter canal when I heard a 'check-chack-chack' alarm type of call. I thought it was probably a Blackbird but suddenly this little Wren popped on to the top of the bush, sat for about two seconds then disappeared. I decided to stay to see if he/she would pop out again. Ten minutes later and three more fleeting glimpses, these are the result.

We'll dig a hole any old time, but this time of year we like to dig them deeper.

 

Mouse came down from the pasture and did some work on Fidget's project, enlarging it toward the west, turning the perfect circle into a ragged kidney shape.

 

After Mouse left for the day, Fidget carefully nudged the mousebegotten dirt pile back into her hole and smoothed grass over it.

 

She rested on the disturbed earth for awhile, then dug again according to her original plan.

 

A person has a particular vision of the perfect hole, and it doesn't do to let others (particularly relatives) become involved.

Fidget, radiant with the spirit of the season, wishes everyone a joyous holiday and a happy new year.

 

We're Christmasing in the little hamlet of Nose Hair, South Carolina, heading back to Pennsylvania tomorrow.

I like the randomness of taking pictures of the spinner in action. :-)

It's a sunny day so bunnies will play! Fidget by Kit Lane, Foxglove by Amanda Louise Spayd.

Show weight for a Great Pyrenees female is 85-120 pounds (38-54 kg). Fidget, who has always gotten plenty to eat, weighs 75 pounds, making her a wee lass by Pyr standards.

 

One day at the vet's office recently, a big guy came over to us, ruffled Fidgets fur and said, "You sure are cute. If you were a little bigger, you'd look just like a Great Pyrenees".

 

Fidget didn't bite him or even growl, but if looks could kill ...

   

When I first ate at Anytime, on North 6th Street, the place was lit up like a supermarket. There were two drunk guys yelling for jalapeño poppers and there was one exhausted Israeli guy running the show. The room was full of flies. None of this mattered, though, because it was four in the morning, and this one-counter takeout spot had committed to serving reasonably tasty pressed sandwiches and tater tots all day, every day.

 

I've since eaten a lot of meals at Anytime, and I can't really say that most of them have been very satisfying, but it's still the first place I think to go if I'm hungry after midnight and too lazy to head to the city -- even now that there are other options in Williamsburg. It helps somewhat that they've doubled in size, dimmed the lights, and added scores of disaffected Australian and Israeli citizens to the staff. They're still way slow on the follow-through, unfortunately -- a ham sandwich and some fried pierogies can take up to thirty minutes to emerge from the kitchen -- which can lead to some aggravation as you wait out your order at the bar and take pictures of fidgety people behind you.

 

The clocks you see here, once a central design element when Anytime was a takeout spot, are made of the same nifty metal bowls they used to serve pasta. I miss the bowls, but not that crappy spaghetti.

Dress and pattern by me.

The latest playground craze. Luckily my son works in a shop that sells them so he can buy them before they go on the shelves!

A picky pad is basically a fidget item alternative for people who skin-pick or bite nails. I got it at the Neurospicy market to try.

I liked all the little treasures found instead, but I actually found the removal process annoying instead of satisfying as it was too difficult to remove them.
