I'm here if you need to chat, any time. 💛

I have had similar thoughts in the past when I was also realising I am aro/ace. I can't promise it'll get easier, but I hope you can reach peace with yourself and find other ways to connect. Romantic and sexual relationships are not all that's out there! 💛

I am so grateful to my friends (both online and irl) for their kind words and support. And my sister, who travelled hours to stay with me and help me with this. She's been an absolute angel, and I love her so much.

thank you so much! I'm so grateful it went well and was definitely the right decision. Now I can relax for a few days and let the healing process do its thing. 😊

Operation went well, so I'm told! I'm feeling good and happy to finally be allowed to eat and drink 😄

thank you so much for your kind words! it was very reassuring, and you're totally right; it was a lovely nap 😄

Operation scheduled for today, my first time under general anaesthetic. I am *terrified*

I don't usually listen to audiobooks, but I gave this one a little listen, and the musical notes gave me so much joy.

Have you ever loved a book so much that you immediately start re-reading it the second you finish it? Because Project Hail Mary is that book.

Procedure didn't happen. I'm tentatively booked in for an operation in August instead. 😮‍💨

I finished the book and have now decided to listen to the audio book, too. The absolute joy I get from Rocky's musical notes is probably not normal. Obsessed. #ProjectHailMary

In a fun turn of events, I managed to get my sister TWO vinyls she wanted! I gave away my Wombles vinyl to the woman behind me as mine was the last one, and she deserves it more.

Well. The vinyls my sister wanted are sold out. But I'm hoping I can still get The Wombles. 5 hours of queueing, I wanna die.
