It’s all good there is no advice.

Thank you for the kind words about my writing style. It’s been a new compulsion of mine to document things. Everyone always told me to journal, but I didn’t see the point documenting the things I was desperately seeking any escape from.

Thanks Ellie, kind of a radical idea that I deserve a life worth living.

I’ll have to remember that

Well, the lady I take care of is going on hospice care, so it’s not great per se. Nothing new from my family and I probably won’t see them. I have a dental appointment on the 19th that’s gonna cost 6.5 grand usd without sedation and 8.1 grand with sedation. No clue how I’m gonna pay that all, my dad said he’d help with some of it, but I gotta find the rest at some point. It’s my wisdom teeth and two molars they broke, plus bone grafts and stuff.

I was living out near Millerville, I would’ve been way sketch out there compared to the twin cities. I imagine Bemidji would be nice too. I’m glad you have a safe area to be you!

I liked to have a refresher the first couple times I did my injections.

Here's a refresher video for later 💕

I do injections because I’ve heard it’s easier on your liver (or maybe kidneys I forget exactly ATM). It also has a higher absorption rate, and as a monotherapy I like not having to keep track of multiple medications.

I hated needles prior because of some traumatizing OD deaths in homeless camps (I kinda made it my litmus test to see how much I wanted HRT), but after about 2 weeks my anxiety was gone, and the benefits far outweighed the momentary ick of stabbing myself with a needle.

When you pirate on Linux it’s up to you to make sure you are running it in a compatible environment. Checking protonDB and other sources may show you some workarounds you will need. The other way to do this is to open the game in a terminal, try to run it, look for errors or missing .so files or other things in the terminal output, and use that as a starting point to figure out where you need to go to get it configured the rest of the way.

Lutris scripts and the like do not use pirated sources on purpose, so you are very much on your own with it.

I’d have probably not been so maladjusted for so long if that was the book title 🤣

I’m sorry you know that book too.

It really was a reoccurring theme for him, huh?

Thank you, Mom. That’s all I wanted to hear ❤️

I’m trying to stay calm. I realized a little bit ago I was getting a stress headache from all this, which sounds really crummy, but it was a nice reminder that my stress and anxiety levels have been so low for the first time in forever that I can actually TELL that I’m stressed and FEEL that it’s affecting me instead of just lashing out in confusion like a Pokémon.

One of my favorites right now is “Poison” by Stick and Poke, another favorite of mine that hit me at the right time to be a catalyst for positive change was “From here to Utopia (Song for the Desperate) by Ramshackle Glory.
