Just left the pulmonologist and I might cry. She listened. She understood. And here's the kicker that just made my day.
"I'm scheduling these tests to better understand what your lungs are doing. They may come back normal. That does not mean nothing is wrong. It means that symptom (+)

My niece, my sister in law, and I went to see Wicked: For Good tonight. And I...
I'm highly impressed by my Urban Decay eyeshadow and mascara holding up to how hard and how long I cried through the movie.
I absolutely loved it and have thoughts but I'll share them much later.

The hardest part of being sick is remembering that I don't need permission to rest. I didn't need to do as much as I can first. I'm allowed to just rest.

Both my roommate and I are sick with a lung infection. Both of us are low spoons and struggling and want comfort.
I'm using my limited spoons to make matzo ball soup.

I'm probably spending my entire weekend curled up in bed. I'm absolutely sick with something. I have post nasal drip, this awful chest cough, and absolutely no voice at all.

Took my roommate to the ER. I'm already exhausted and we just got here.
To be clear, I'm okay. I believe that she will be okay. But it sucks either way.

Here is one of my favorite moments between my partner and I...
I regularly send them selfies. I choose to do this because they usually respond in such a positive way and it helps me believe I'm pretty.
Every so often I dress in an outfit I like. They respond with losing words over how I look. (+)

I can't wait till my ex husband can't hurt me anymore.
No he didn't do anything specific that I know of.
He just loved KPop. So I'm trying to watch KPop Demon Hunters and I'm pretty instantly tensing up and already feeling so so so anxious.

Reasons my partner is one of the greatest humans I've ever met...
I have #dermatillomania pretty badly. To the point of digging holes into my own skin. I fight it constantly and it's so very difficult to stop.
My partner gently stops me when they see it. No shame. Just gentleness. (+)

Tonight I am watching a recording of the stage musical version of The Prince of Egypt... And I've got thoughts...
1 - I don't think this is Shwartz's best work.
2 - I love what they did for Moses
3 - There is some beautiful staging and dancing. Wow.

So, I hate coffee. Not in the judgemental way, but in the "I just don't understand why you all like it" way. I love chocolate though so I started buying the roasted cocoa nibs that you brew like coffee.

I am deeply in love with my nightly cuddles. Bedtime means a curled up cat purring herself to sleep on my chest. It's the absolute greatest thing ever.

If there was one thing I wish more parents would do, it was stress the importance of school and following through with your responsibilities.
I can't make your student do their work. I can't make your child care about their grades.

Tonight my six year old nephew was sitting with me and we were reading one of his books together. He starts showing me the words he knows and we start sounding out words together.
It was absolutely one of the greatest moments of my life to watch my nephew learning to read.

Tonight I learned that the movie musical Little Shop of Horrors has two different endings.
The original ending is the one from the stage musical. The two leads are eaten and the plant takes over the world. Only test audiences hated it. So they redid the ending with the plant being destroyed. (+)

Had a moment with a student today that broke my heart.
Some context. I teach upper elementary school, grades 4 to 6. I don't hide my queerness, but I also don't bring it up. It's not part of lessons or anything because it just isn't what we're learning.
I do make sure my kids feel safe. (+)

Today is Intersex Awareness Day- a day to honour truth, visibility, and pride. Intersex people are born with sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. These innate variations of sex characteristics are natural, diverse, and part of the human spectrum.

Round two of making very very garlic filled bread. This went way better than the first loaf. Still a few things to work out, but my family loved it and ate the entire loaf tonight.

Today was a weird experience. Thought I was about to run into my ex husband. My head is mostly just tired and hungry. My body goes into full on panic mode. Tensed up. High alert. Anxious as all hell. The disconnect between my apathetic brain and terrified abuse survivor body was wild.

I can already tell it's going to be a tough day. I got 4 hours of sleep. I had a fight with painsomnia. I had a fainting episode while lying awake and in pain. And I feel stuck in pre-syncope. This sucks so much.
