If you're ever in need of the "High-Five a Friend" quest in Sky, I'd like to point out that uncle Ansel is very friend-shaped and using the emote from his tree will complete your quest. :)

I'm not usually one to harp on Canadian healthcare, but...

I just waited over a year for an appointment with an ENT (doctor who specializes in the ears, nose, and throat). I have been telling myself for over a year, every time my ears would flare up and I'd be curled up in bed crying: "Just a few more months. Just hang in there for a few more months."

So. The day comes.

The ENT took a poke at my ears for less than a minute, looked at the computer (I think it was some of my previous MRI results) and told me "Welp. Your hearing is perfect and everything else looks just fine. I can't help you."

Then, as I'm about to break down crying, this man gently puts a hand on either side of my head, and tells me to open my mouth as far as it can go.

This man. This wonderful man. This very smart man whom I appreciate very much, felt the side of my face move and instantly knew there was something "very, very wrong" (direct quote!) with my jaw, and said that it was likely the cause of the flare-ups with my eustachian tubes and the ringing and the intermittent hearing issues.

I waited in pain for over a year only to be told he's the wrong kind of doctor and my issue should have been obvious to pretty much anyone who saw me before him.

And the doctor I do need to see? It's a dentist. The expensive luxury bone doctor. Whom I have ALSO BEEN TO SEE SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS ORDEAL.

Sigh. I need a new doctor. And a new dentist, apparently.

The only positive to this is at least now I know for sure that it's not causing any permanent damage to my hearing and ears so far.

I visited the concert hall for the first time. Performed in front of 55 people apparently. The ones in my instance swarmed when I finished my turn, haha. :)

Very social and supportive in here.

It isn't much, but I left something in my favorite spot. A place to just sit and listen to the dripping water and the rain for a little while. A place to just... Remember.

I'm going to miss him.

My grandpa on my mom's side was a quiet man.

Through everything, even at my absolute lowest, he treated me like a person. Not a child to be passed around, or a problem to be solved; A human deserving of respect. I was just "me", and that made all the difference.

I am going to miss him so much. 🧢

I know part of growing up is losing the people who got you there, but it still sucks.

I've held things together as much as I can but the close calls have officially gotten close enough that if I don't do something soon we're going to have problems.

Pain be damned, it's time to dust off the tablet. 😤

Two things of note:

No, the boat is not supposed to spawn like that.

I am afraid of deep water.

Every Saturday we get a box of discounted ugly/reject produce delivered, which is supposed to last us the week.

Today a neighbor tore the box open and rummaged through it, stealing half of our food. 😱

(It's a secure-entry building with cameras in the lobby, so I'm not really sure what they were thinking....)

CHECKPOINT REACHED!

Take care of yourselves! If applicable… 

Save your work;

Stretch your wrists;

Remember the 20-20-20 rule to prevent eye strain: Every 20 minutes or so, try to look at something 20 feet (6 m) away for 20 seconds; 

De-pretzel, stretch, or give your back/legs some movement;

Do you have water or other hydration of choice on hand?

Double check if you’ve taken your meds today;

When was the last time you ate?

Be kind! <3

I was just informed that while they were fixing the shut-off valves this morning, they are now replacing FOUR of the apartment buildings stacks while they're at it.

(A "stack" in plumbing is basically a very long pipe that runs top floor to bottom connecting all of the drains before leading to the sewer.)

Suffering.

I know I'm a little too early for TMI Tuesdays but the plumbers are now 3 hours over their estimated work time, they were already working when I got up this morning, and I have to pee so badly I think my back teeth are gonna float away.

I am suffering.

As a Moments moth, I am so happy the Season of Radiance has given me an excuse to visit uncle Ansel more often!

Thinking on it... Aside from the Elders, do any other spirits besides Ansel have canon names? He's the only one that comes to mind, but I may be missing someone...

I love how all Canada and Mexico had to do to pause these idiotic trade war tariffs was to take border programs that'd already started during Biden's term and make Trump think they were his idea.

He and his followers think they strong-armed us.

We just made a fool of them on the world stage.

Tumblr, dearest hellsite, my beloved, my beloathed,

This is the first time since its conception that you've defaulted me to the "For You" tab on load. I'm going to, for now, assume that was an accident.

Platonic smooches, -Fara
