We’ve had a heatwave here in the UK that’s been horrible. It’s finally cooler again 😍
I am over on the continent but I left Australia to avoid this weather. Can not wait for the temp to drop another 10 degrees.
Just woke up. That was my first mistake.
Just had breakfast. Not feeling dizzy anymore after 2 days of rest and drinking lots of water. Thank you fellow lemmings for providing me suggestions in the last post!
I am ready for work now. Hope to get a big task done today!
Hey, thank you for being so active around here!
You too, buddy! :) Love your comments and energy!
Thanks! :)
Glad to know you are feeling better.
I’m waiting with a 1.5L bottle of my own piss outside a cancer center to see if I have cancer
I probably don’t, though, so I feel for the other people in line with me
I am sure you are fine! How long does it take for the report to come out?
The time you spent waiting to get the test done and the report to come out must be miserable. I gone through similar thing as you do before.
It’s really fine, I can’t complain! The doctor told me to do the exams and not dwell on them as the probability really was low.
I get a follow up appointment on the second week of October.
Thank you for the support! How did it go for you? Fine, I hope
That’s good for you!
My doctor was telling me they cannot conclude it is not cancer as the tumor I had is quite rare, they don’t have enough data to confidently say it is not.
I am having my checkup soon, hope everything is fine.
I realised I have both commited to being in the office and have a hello fresh box turning up to sit on my doorstep in the sun today ☹️
Goodbye, fresh. Hello, spoiled.
Had a bit of a conflict with the other half last night. Didn’t sleep well. Feeling exhausted now.
Not really sure how to resolve things and feeling worried about it all.
Conflicts could happen all the time.
It is important to communicate and come up with a solution together when both sides are calm.
Hope everything could be alright for your side, sometimes things are going to bad direction and makes the atmosphere depressing.
I wish I was better at conflict, especially with my partner. It gnaws at me constantly if unresolved, gives me horrible anxiety (I’m normally not an anxious person) to the point where I can’t eat or sleep. So, I tend to hold back from conflicts altogether. Not a useful solution. I wish I had better advice to offer but in place of that, please accept my commiseration. Hopefully some time to reflect and cool down will prove useful and perhaps your partner will have fresh ideas for resolution when you readdress it.
That sounds like you are taking the conflicts all alone, and trying to avoid them. Eventually you might not be able to take more of those and you will have a emotional breakdown.
I think it might be better to sit down with your partner to come up with a solution together. Maybe just to dicuss the one that bothers you the most first, and eventually the others.
It is unhealthy to keep all the unhappy things on one side and not discuss about it. Hope you can get the issues solved soon! Good luck!
Mother just left after 2 weeks together, was quite scared about it, we don’t have the same rhytme of life. Well it went really well, I changed to accommodate with her plans and I saw she did the same without saying anything. Impatient to see her in December again not as stressed about it as usual
It’s great that things worked out well between you and your mother!
When you’re a conventionally attractive trans woman, your week can be a combo move that goes transphobic harassment>sexual harassment>transphobic harassment. When you’re a dedicated person doing things that are important to you and the world, you don’t always react to those experiences immediately. You delay the inevitable emotional responses in favor of continued action and productivity. Today I am off work, and those emotional responses have to be had. They’re not going anywhere, and they need to be felt before they start affecting my performance in the important parts of my life. So today I’m sad and tired and a little scared. I need to pick up injection supplies from the pharmacy, but I’m just laying in bed crying intermittently. Mostly my life has never been better. I have real friends. I’m essential to a job that is genuinely important. There are people who are properly medicated and living better lives because of my guidance and consultation. There are people who aren’t on opiods, who are shaking their addictions to alcohol and harder drugs, because of my knowledge and advice. These are the important aspects of my life. But they don’t remove the necessity of these terrible feelings. They’re just strong enough to displace them until it’s convenient. Which is today. So today I’m sad and tired and a little scared.
I took Friday off to celebrate the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 and played extensively all weekend. Now it’s Monday and I’m sitting in the dark drinking my coffee and trying to ready my mind to go back to work and not play video games all day. While I like my job, I would like another weekend now please.
The game sounds addictive, I wish I have ps5!
I am vaguely annoyed that I have to pay 18 dollars in import tax on a pair of leggings I bought. Haha.
It was very busy and stressful. I think I’ve taken on more than I’m capable of handling and I’m doing a poor job at all of it and I feel inadequate and stressed and like my mental health is balancing precariously. The good news is I should get a break in a few months. I just need to keep juggling these knives until then and hope I don’t hit an artery. Like so much of humanity, I just wish the world would stop spinning for a little bit.
