Not great honestly. Went back to work, ex is still living here with us, and lots of other stuff on my mind. But I will prevail.
General US political dread (amplified by being a federal employee).
My lease renewal deadline was pre-election so I'm stuck here (red state, Ohio) for another year. Penalty for lease breakage is paying the entire rest of the years rent, which ain't happening.
Desperately need to seek out adult ADHD evaluation, executive dysfunction of some form is slowly killing me and consuming my future.
I'm tired, boss.
Got my blood test back; no problems and trough estradiol is 150 somethings (units, people!). I assume from the given reference ranges they mean pg/mL. They didn't check testosterone for some reason so I'll need to ask for that next time. Anyway, I'm fairly happy with that result -- should be spending most of the week comfortably above 200. I'm also getting a referral tomorrow to a new clinic that offers self-injections. Yay!
Mentally, though, rather worn down by non-trans stuff which seems to have given the dysphoria and brain worms a chance to take hold again. Time for some self-care.
Update: new doctor put me on patches instead, and I got a more complete blood test. Fine by me, so long as I can do it at home. It was a surprise to see them using the transfeminine science injection simulator though!
It's part of a gynecology clinic, and I felt a bit of an imposter in the waiting room 🫤
My egg cracked 💀
Congratulations!
we lost our best friend and..... we arent sure if we made the right choice or not by leaving them
Me spending all last week and my foreseeable future watching the AQI like a hawk and being paranoid about wildfire ash, but not close enough to any fires to be at risk of evacuation:
I got a new pair of socks :3
