Physical therapy has been going well. I just made some discoveries with a foam roller that were either miraculous or will leave me dying soon. Here's hoping I can keep it up. As far as potential midlife crises go I could do MUCH worse than pretending to be an encouraging fitness influencer.

My body is holding up surprisingly well, but there has indeed been a great cost to pay. My left earring had to be sacrificed to the GA pit gods. It evaporated into the ether and I have to make peace with that.

I crossed over the 39&1/2 mark two days ago. I'm proving something to myself tonight being at the front of the crowd at a show this large. I'll pay for it dearly in the morning, but you know. TWRP & NSP are gonna be worth it 💜 Screw it; my next physical therapy thing is gonna be my back anyways.

It's looking like I'm only going to be able to chew on the left (trigeminal neuralgia side) for several months. Basically a soft food restriction but I can stretch that definition based on how much pain I can tolerate.
No feeling sorry for myself. It's...an opportunity to reevaluate food choices!

ATTENTION PLEASE ROYALTY HAS ARRIVED
Related: I'm seeing Buddy Cole in Philly in June. I grabbed a single spot at a table up front. I hope I don't fucking snort-laugh at a table of strangers. Scott's worth the risk.

Pro: not actively dying from a dental infection FUCK YEAH
Cons: the piece of tooth supporting the crown broke at the gum line. I need an extraction and implant. My new dentist has literally never had a trigeminal neuralgia patient in 17 years of practice. Bummer to be reminded how rare it is.

My crown fell out :/ I have an appointment Wednesday afternoon. There's going to be a whole lot of pain in my future. I'll get through it but I'm grumbly.

I had a fantastic time seeing Minka last night and I'm pleased with myself for going. +1 to self growth. I feel like I'm on a good path right now and trying to embrace how scary that feels. Gotta treat fear as fuel for the fire.

Standing around awkward as can be but at least I'm out of the house dammit.

Gonna go see Minka tonight and I'm super nervous about going alone. Usually when I see an artist by myself I'm a pretty big fan, so that gives me a million things to chat about with a stranger. I know *some* Minka, and they're the opener. Hope this isn't a big deal some day.

Trying my hardest not to lose my mind. Might have to have a serious conversation with a relative tomorrow. We'll see. Gonna dye my hair as soon as it air dries and hope the process restores some sanity. And if not? At least I look good.

I still don't know exactly what's causing my shin pain, but overall it's been a stroke of good luck. PT is going really well. I also pinched a nerve so I'm doing neck and ankles simultaneously. It's delightful to get up the stairs easier. I'm not aiming for hot, I'm aiming for functionality.

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great.
Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

Wait no no no, I'm talking crazy. I have the first tit signed by Paul Bellini. That's why my tits are named Scott & Paul. My left tit is an undiscovered Canadian national treasure. That's got to be at least as valuable as speaking French.

I think I'm gonna gather up evidence of my decades long love of Canada in case we ever desperately need empathy from a border agent or whatever. Put together a short presentation, maybe practice some I Mother Earth karaoke? Bring a Moist CD? American currency defaced by Finger Eleven in 2002?

We watched Hundreds of Beavers this morning. If you enjoy(ed) Looney Toons it's required viewing. It's on YouTube premium for free.

Finally made myself go to the eye doctor today. I can't use my precious Night & Day monthly lenses anymore. One of the infinite joys of menopause is very dry eyes. I'm gonna try out dailies.
Take my uterus, idgaf, but my ability to see when I first open my eyes in the morning? Uncool, body.

My contacts are not cooperating, so I think for the first time in my life I have to dye my hair while wearing glasses :/ I'm sure it'll be fine but in my head it's a disaster.

Fucking hell. It was a medical flight for a kid. Came down in a populated area near a mall on a Friday night. There are burnt out husks of cars on the ground. Unknown number of people injured or worse on the ground. Fucking hell.

I had my first physical therapy for lingering shin pain and it went well. The front desk person is a huge Lovely and my therapist is lovely as well.
Most interesting -- I *am* hypermobile, but only in my lower half. Never knew everyone's knees don't go forward and lock. Fun!

I've been having this repeating dream where I cannot crack an egg without absolutely destroying it. Wonder what that's all about.

I wish my instinct when the world gets ugly was to seek community instead of isolating. It feels like a long-term psych pipe dream at this point. Always with the sensation that I'm imposing myself on others. I'm chill once I know a group of people a bit, but that initial stage? Nonononono.
