#I'm not quite sure what I feel right now

[firemedicdiaz]

It’s over.

It’s finally over.

I’m free.

Had my final appointment at the cancer clinic today.  It was a pelvic exam and colposcopy to make sure that I was all healed up inside after the hysterectomy and that there were no traces of any abnormalities.  I’d been anxious about the appointment for WEEKS.

It wasn’t my surgeon who saw me, it was one of her associates, but she was so kind and understanding and empathetic that I felt good about it going into the procedure. The procedure itself was super un-fun given how one of the symptoms of menopause is vaginal dryness/atrophy.  All the lube in the world didn’t make that speculum go in any easier and it hurt like hell, but once it was in place it was fine.

After a thorough look and feel and a LOT of anxiety on my part, the doctor pronounced me fully healed and fit to return to all activities.  She said that there is no need for them to see me again, that this is it, but that if I have any concerns come up or any questions in the future or issues related to any pelvic health, to give them a call back and they’d take me back on without question.

That said, though, I never need another pelvic exam.  I never need another pap test.  I never need to deal with all of the menstrual bullshit again.  I can bid cancer goodbye and good riddance.

It’s actually, finally over.

idk if this makes sense. but i kind of love that the last of us makes me cry and viscerally FEEL true emotions on a weekly basis. like i cant remember the last tv show i watched that had me consistently bawling my eyes out and so immersed in a show because of the characters, the story, the incredibly strong writing, etc. and it doesn't feel manipulative. it just feels profound and beautiful and poetic but also tragic and... human.

I've always felt that it'd be Killua who initiates the first hug we see between him and Gon

What if Danny were to have helped in a small way with a new NASA space telescope?

It's 2004 and Danny has recently become a world famous hero for saving the Earth from an asteroid (and has revealed his identity in the process).

After mentioning his love of space during an interview, NASA offers to give him and his family/friends a personal guided tour and share a little about what they're currently working on.

As he and his guide walk down a hallway, his guide tells him about the telescope they've been working on for the past few years - one that would succeed the Hubble, have even clearer photos, and dive even deeper into space.

As they stop in front of a closed door, Danny's grinning, excited to learn more and speak with some of the people involved. But, as his guide opens the door, Danny instead hears a group of people talking to each other about delays and expenses. They look disheartened and stressed, kind of worn out. Is it even worth building it?

Danny frowns as he listens.

This new telescope is supposed to take photos of the edges of the universe, areas even the Hubble has trouble photographing, but it's not working out as they'd planned.

His guide clears their throat to let the group know they're here, and the conversation trails off.

Danny hesitantly takes a step forward. "Um... I might could help. I mean, it won't be a substitute for this telescope or anything, but... Well, let me speak with a friend, okay?"

Little would they know that Danny's idea would come to inspire them to keep going, and work even harder to get the telescope up and running.

Danny returns with a huge grin, a cheap camera around his neck, and some kind of scroll in his hand.

Hey y'all! Weird question time again! Do you have any recommendations for anything that can monitor your heart rate on the go with like real time updates? I'm looking for something like a pulse oximeter, but that works for people with poor circulation in their fingers (I have a pulse oximeter and sometimes it works and sometimes I confuse it and it panics and spits out random numbers lol) I do have a blood pressure cuff, but I'm looking for something that works faster and while moving, so that I can keep an eye on it when I'm doing things like exercising or climbing stairs (on bad days) so I know when I need to stop before I hit the "uh-oh" level of tachycardia.

okay so I'm going to just state for the record that I've had a Weird Bad Erratic Time every november since I was eleven and this is nearly November so my recent "weird bad erratic mood" is probably just like, right on schedule.

[slowips]

isn't it so SICK (neutral, but leaning towards a negative tone) that 2023 is coming to a close and i have not started with any of my wips.

I'm alone in our new apartment for the first time today - my partner is at work (working from home in the old apartment, actually, because there's no Internet here yet)

of course I'm not completely alone, the cats are here too - but they're just as scared of the random noises that our neighbours are making as I am 😬 so we're just sitting here being nervous together 😬

I wish I could post pictures of them, I've tried a few times but the phone signal isn't strong enough, so I guess that'll have to wait. I really hate not having Internet access, not even for entertainment reasons (that too, though) but because it feels really weird and lonely that I can't really talk to anyone.

I've been wanting to try my hand at book binding for months now, and today I finally committed by buying just. A fuckton of paper. Enough paper to last me a decade or two unless I use them up by making myself some books.

I have already finished typesetting a couple of my favorite fics because typesetting is something I actually know how to do, now I just need to gather my courage and do the actual physical binding, which I have no clue how to do. I'm sure it'll be fine.
