I realize I don't know most of you, which makes this weird, but I'm posting it anyway! I'm planning to have a hysterectomy this year, once insurance is wrangled. -_- I put a list of things together to help with recovery, but since I'll already be inundated with medical bills... (continued)
Big ol' jumping spider somehow made his way into my room. I've gotten over my fear enough to try holding the little ones, but he and I were having a standoff of "who's more terrified of whom?" He didn't want to crawl onto my hand, and I didn't want him launching into my face.

Results finally in: premium on my "only in a tiny network" ACA insurance is getting raised next year from $448...to $713.
Great job, GOP. Great job, corporate greed.
I hope you all choke on your dinners tonight, and no one is around who knows how to perform the Heimlich.

I need someone to explain why a wedding ceremony is necessary. I thought that was just a frivolous/religious bit, and the marriage license was the only thing you actually NEEDED. I mean, both people have to show up to get the license anyway. Why does it also need a ceremony?

How is it that I count, check, count, check, count...yet STILL miss stitches? And do I REALLY need to cut out 26 rows of stitches JUST because I missed 2 rows? >< I'm so mad right now. What a waste of floss.

Been watching someone's Sims 4 legacy playthrough, and it's making me want to do it for myself. Except I think I'd need other people "with" me to make it fun, rather than just playing by myself. So I'm doing my ADHD "do a new thing," this time about a Twitch channel. lol

For my balloon 🎈 day, may I be so bold to ask for a little share so that my art reaches fellow fantasy and mythology lovers? 🫣✨

Sleep doctor's office won't renew my gabapentin prescription unless I come in for an appointment. And on one hand, I get it. On the other, I'm not paying $60 just to say "Hi, yes I still need this, no I still can't afford a new sleep test, thanks bye!" -_-

Radio played Genesis's "Jesus He Knows Me" yesterday, and I hadn't heard that song in YEARS but the music video immediately came to mind. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty great parody on our obsession with televangelists. (and also it's a pretty catchy song but then--it's Phil Collins so ofc.)

I'm so tired of hearing about what good guys giant spiders are.
I get it, Steve. They eat other bugs. And I love that for them. Knowing that doesn't stop my terror of them, however, and I really need them to stop being in my home.

I'd love it if we stitchers could normalize including the name of the pattern creator in our wip posts. I need to get better about it too. But I see so many neat projects, and I wanna know where the pattern came from so I can make one too!

Tried new birth control 4 months ago. Nonstop heavy bleeding for over a month followed.
Tried second new birth control this month. Nonstop heavy bleeding once again.
I'm not *excited* to have a major organ removed, but I also cannot wait for this to be over. I'm so TIRED of it.

Does anyone besides me miss classroom learning? I can't afford to go back to college, but man my brain craves that structured style of learning, with actual consequences if you don't do the work.
Harvard has free courses, but they're just videos. I'll never be disciplined enough to finish those.

Another awkward repost...but this time, I realized I can gift you the art of my stick figures if you're willing to help out. Who doesn't want stick figure art?!

I'm getting so tired of the "omg I'm resubscribing to Netflix" and "Newsom for President" posts. A bad person doing good things one time does not suddenly make them a good person. Stop letting yourselves get duped so easily.
Also, redistricting is bad no matter WHO does it.**

*this* is who gavin newsom is - he has a particular long standing interest in eroding even the idea of the right to healthcare and bodily autonomy (and shelter/food etc)

This is not a riddle. Although fixing the problem might be, at this point.
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

My friend has been posting travel videos from her vacation last year in Iceland! They're nice, relaxing driving videos, and give a great view of the country!
Our short little video is out. I'm really excited for the next one as we drive through Akureyri!

Look. I want it to happen as much as the next guy. I wanna jostle for first chance to piss on his grave.
But the rest of them are still young, which means we're still fucked. ...Unless this is just a little treat to break up the horrors, in which case, fair.

My cute little Labyrinth shelf corner needs an expansion. I also need another frame.

Found a snake in the house today. Just a teeny thing. In fact, I thought it was a rolled up, felted piece of cat fur the vacuum had created. Then my boyfriend exclaimed "...it's moving!"
It was a rough earth snake, and SO CUTE. But I'd really rather they all stay outside!
