I remember a paper I wrote for an English class entitled Circles. I finished it at 3am, felt delirious, and remember nothing else about it but the title and the glow of the computer screen. 😅

Recently started something new that I’m excited about. Instead of a book club, we’ve made a “book recommendation club.” We read whatever books we want, then we meet to tell our friends about the books we read and whether or not we recommend them. It’s been pretty fun so far! 😁

I’ve never once been dismayed by my gray hair because I watched what it meant to age gracefully. Thanks, Mom. ❤️
a poem on a gray background reads:
I catch the wisp of gray in my hair
and I’m reminded of my mother:
smiles in the creases of her eyes,
laughing in a white sundress
with pink flowers and a streak
of silver around her face. She said
a hairdresser once told her
it looked intentional, but I was
always proud it wasn’t;
she earned her stripes.

My blood tests came back and my entire pituitary gland has just decided it’s too angry to work. 😅 Could be temporary, could be forever. Bodies are weird.

I don’t think I will do this again next month mostly because I kind of want to keep working on this one in my own time; I’ve managed to get invested. Decent outcome for a challenge to get me writing again. 😁 Give it a go for October if you need some inspiration; I’ll keep it linked on my profile.

I watched a @montemader.bsky.social video a month or two ago about the Protestant work ethic and honestly didn’t think I was too affected by it, but now while I’m trying to recover, I find myself feeling guilty for not doing something more industrious. It’s insidious, this programming.

Health has been iffy the past few days, but I managed to write a little anyway. Days 13 & 14 clumped together, prompts were “brick wall” and “rain or shine” respectively.

September Build-a-Story Day Seven! The prompt was “everyday people.” It’s probably not right to have favorite characters, but I think Petrah is my favorite in this little story I’m slapping together. 🤷‍♀️ If you want build-a-story too, info’s pinned to my profile. 😁

The hospital staff was wonderful. The food was actually decent. And I didn’t have to prepare it. And everything was clean without me lifting a finger. But I’m back in my somewhat messy, sometimes chaotic home with my little meal and I’m genuinely glad to be here. 💜
a small plastic light green dish with 4 sections with food. text on the screen says “It’s not special or fancy. It’s just me in a dark room with my little breakfast and it’s small and comfortable and I am so, so glad to be home.”

Cushing’s tumor #2 removed. Having a third would be very unlikely, so of course I’m planning to be back here in 5-6 years. I named this one Tina.

Few things have sucked more for me in this life than needing my mom and knowing she’s not there anymore. Day before surgery and my son just got released from his training job at vocational rehabilitation because he has “too many issues.” My mom would understand my heart right now.

The way I had to reschedule my pre-surgery CT scan to the day before the surgery because insurance *exists* is diabolical. Yeah, no, it’s cool, they’re just going up my nose with tools, I’m sure they don’t actually need to see where they’re going. It’ll be a fun adventure! 🙄

I did the same a few months ago, right after I heard about the whole Grok-undressing-children things. It made me literally sick to think about it. I’m going to always be nostalgic for old Twitter, though.
