if you ever try to befriend me and you expect to be in frequent contact with me i am so sorry. i do that with maybe two people and even then i often go days or weeks without saying anything before talking daily for a while.
the point is if we dont talk that doesnt mean i dont like u and think about u a lot im just terrible at maintaining close relationships

Woah h oho so here’s another update since I am still not quite back on my normal schedule:
The apartment is still covered in boxes, BUT we got a laundry key today – finally – which means I can actually wash my good clothes instead of digging through the bags of clothes that are probably all going to end up being donated. Yes good.
Wednesday was interesting. Part of it involved my mom swooping in to take me to Urgent Care because (and this is TMI, I’m so sorry) my leg was leaking fluid. The doctor actually listened to me and did the tests unlike every other doctor that I’d asked in the past few years, and yes, I have been officially diagnosed with lymphedema. Which sucks, because there’s no cure. But he prescribed me a super strong diuretic and ordered me to eat a banana a day and to go see a primary care doctor ASAP. This means I’m finally going to be able to get help instead of a lecture about how I’m fat. 😛 At least, that’s the hope.
I’ve already lost 6lbs… in like 1 day. WOO. And also gross.
The same visit came with an xray for my wrist, which is not broken but badly sprained, AND a lot of blood work, which thankfully ruled out other health problems (kidney, liver) that I was worried about… well, except for thyroid. Normal TSH levels are 0-4, with 5 being considered “high.” Mine was 25. Oops. So I’m severely hypo again, which probably explains why I have been so exceptionally exhausted lately.
This all boils down to me needing to, like, sleep more, up my medications, and spend less time at my computer desk… so it’s a good thing I’m not taking on new commissions.
But hey, my novel is up to 63,000 words now. That’s exciting. And I still love my job. Still broke, but not homeless, ad not quite starving yet, either! I need to mail everyone their stuff (soon) and get the apartment put together. All good things.
For now, though… it’s only 10:30 on a friday night and I already want to crawl into bed. So I may do that.

5 facts about me:
- I’m allergic to cucumbers. A lot. Even the scent makes my skin itch. Can’t touch it without it feeling like a burn. No shampoos or lotions or anything with cucumber in it allowed! Pickles, on the other hand… No problem whatsoever. Vinegar wins again!
- It is really hard for me to pick a ‘favorite’ of anything because I like too many things and context changes everything. Which is really annoying.
- I love singing, and I’ve been in lots of choirs and vocal groups, but still have trouble reading sheet music. Probably doesn’t help that I can’t play an instrument to save my life. It just all turns into math and then I get so confused.
- Disneyland is my #1 most favorite place in the world… and I haven’t been in 7 years. Sob. (first world problems, I know)
- I’ve only ever kissed one person… and that would be my husband, whom I met online in 1999 on a pokemon roleplaying group, and married in 2006. No regrets.
