About to talk to a new doctor, which is always a nightmare 😂 I should create a spreadsheet of all the things that are wrong with me to save time

Does anyone have art tutorial videos/creators they like? I want to learn/practice but I am a complete and total beginner. I want to create my own fanart, even if it's shitty. AI art has pissed me off so much that I have to do it myself.

Trying to adjust to my hearing aides and I'm exhausted. I don't know if it's my brain trying to process all the new sound, or just general "my kids just started school and we're not in a good routine yet" tired. Also, y'all are just walking around hearing all this all the time??? Wild

Hoping that once the kids are in school, I can set aside some dedicated writing time for myself. I have fics I want to finish, and plot bunnies gnawing at the bars of their enclosure. I would really like to go back and give my first couple fics a serious revision too.

Two days ago I was looking at 10k races for the fall once I complete my training program. Last night I went to the hospital and left with a referral to a spine surgeon for an MRI. I am a disaster.

The fun thing about finally getting a hearing test is proving to everyone who dismissed me over the years that I actually do have hearing loss, and I'm not just an asshole who is ignoring you. The less fun part is I need hearing aides at age 39 😅

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

It's so much easier to take my kids out to do things now that they're a little bigger. Even with my younger son's severe food allergies, we're able to go out as long as it's not a food centric activity, because he knows not to put everything in his mouth and not accept any food from strangers.

We gotta stop using anti-book language. "Hit the books." Violence. "The oldest trick in the book." Have you ever read a book? They're extremely clever. "I borrowed a page from your book." DESTRUCTION. "They're a closed book." It is not a book's fault. Maybe you should buy them a book to gain trust.

Nothing feels worse than realizing my kid was trying to do the things I was gently encouraging him to try to make me happy, when he was really just miserable and scared. He wanted to go home, and I couldn't see it until we were in the parking lot and he broke down. Fucking awful.

I feel stupid being sad about having no friends because I'm married. But having a romantic partner doesn't erase years of rejection and "growing apart" that only means leaving me, specifically, behind. There's something fundamentally broken in me, and I just need to accept that it can't be fixed.

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.
