A fellow (and more prolific) chronic illness blogger posted this as a way to challenge herself, and others, to blog more. These challenges are a great way to stay motivated and productive. You can find her blog here.

Day 1: Introduce Yourself
Oof! We’re going to stick with Jynx for now. It’s not the name on my birth certificate, but it is one that I identify with. I’m in my mid 30’s and am a cisgender white female who is primarily hetero/demi – sexual. I’m childfree (meaning I have chosen not to have children), not religious, and have no interest in getting married.
I’m that weird person who likes radishes, and my favorite foods usually involve cheese. I drink scotch, neat. I enjoy video games, board/card games, and love horror movies. Knitting, sewing, drawing, and volunteering are some of my favorite past-times. I am slowly chipping away at a Bachelor’s in IT; sadly university is expensive, and it takes me a while to save up.
