    I started to learn how to dance. You know, with other people. I’m really not the type. It’s embarrassing and terrifying. It also really helps me confront some of my fears. I’m pretty proud of that.

    Let’s see what this leads to.

    Very recent, I’m still in the glowy happy haze of it. My partner and I just got married and we’ve got an old, fixer-upper property that we plan to make into our own haven of weirdness haha I’m excited to keep building this wild life together.

    Every two weeks — this next weekend being one such event —, I have sushi with my grandma and my brother. I love sushi, my grandma, and my brother. Feeling stellar.

    I am moving out of Texas. Our house goes on the market in a couple of weeks and once it’s sold we’ll be heading to New England.

        I tried to stick out as long as I could, but we really have no choice anymore. I have a child with special needs and it’s been a struggle to get him the services he is legally entitled to. Now without the Dept of Education things are only going to get worse.

        I wish you well and hope you can get out soon.

    I am finally getting a surgery I have desperately needed for mental health and basic quality of life since the height of COVID. I didn’t see it as a life threatening need-to-be-done so I waited until after the height of COVID to begin pursuing it.

    I was scheduled for this surgery in February 2023, and when they took my blood tests, they had to cancel the surgery, because that’s when the found out I had cancer. (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia)

    My cancer treatment has been going very well, and now I am once again scheduled for this surgery with the blessing of my cancer doctor and the requirement of not taking my cancer medications for a week before the surgery and three weeks after the surgery. That is because my cancer medications increase bleeding and impact how long wounds take to heal. (Sprycel/Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor)

    Here’s hoping it goes well, I absolutely hate surgery, but I really need this done. I’ve been literally waiting for this moment for years, it’s going to be a huge mental health boost.

    And to be clear while I am indeed on the Blåhaj Lemmy, this is surgery is not about gender identity or gender affirming care. It’s still important and impacting my mental health, however.

      Gosh, the amount of strength life has required from you these past few years is incredible to imagine. I’m glad to hear your treatment is going well and I hope the surgery and recovery are smooth for you. It’s great you’re finally going to get it!

        Thank you, I have honestly been through so much more than even that, and it has been so hard. I lost my place to live, the majority of my possessions, and I have just been broken, but I am trying to keep going. I think the hardest thing to lose was my bed. It took me until I was nearly 40 to afford my first bed, frame, mattress, and quality sheets, that was all my own and wasn’t a hand-me-down of some kind. I am back to sleeping on a shitty 15 year old mattress I got for free that hurts my back and I have no idea when I’ll be able to afford a bed again.

    It’s looking like it’s going to be a good year for gaming.

    Games I’m looking forward to:

    Subnautica 2 The Outer Worlds 2 Death Stranding 2 (possibly. I’ll wait for reviews) GTA 6 (Assuming there is an offline, kernal DRM free mode) Solarpunk Paralives

    I’ve been a vegetarian for a hundred years, but I’ve finally decided to go vegan and I’m kind of excited about it. I’m growing a garden from seeds I started inside, and my seeds have almost all sprouted.

    I finally got a new dishwasher to replace the one that was spewing water, and my husband promised he’d tackle getting the laundry washing machine replaced with one that works soon. I’m very excited for when i get to stop going to the laundromat!

    Just learned from my neighbor that the back door of the house I just bought floods during summer monsoons, so I’m going to spend the next few weekends digging a trench out to the street to give any future downpours a path away from my back door.

    Roughly four months after being run over and rendered bed bound my mom is taking the next step in her recovery. Literally. She’s been okayed to start walking. She recently went to her first physical therapy session and is working on getting that leg strength back. Still a ways from walking even with a walker but hey progress is progress.

    My lemongrass plant that I tend to neglect is showing signs of life. Seriously I haven’t changed the pot or soil of it in at least two years now. Not to mention the amount of times I forget to give it water. It’s a miracle the poor thing has lasted this long really. But today I noticed some new growth so that’s cool.
