So I've officially been diagnosed with hEDS! I'd been trying to get my GPs to take me seriously for YEARS every time I sprained something new and told them I thought there was something fishy going on, but they always wanted to just blame my weight. Once again, I was correct about my body. #byme

my mail-in ballot for the Florida general elections has arrived! brain was too fried today, but planning on doing my due diligence tomorrow and filling in all the annoying bubbles I need to before sending it back snail-mail style. I have no access to a Fax machine, the only other option. 🙄 #byme

oh- updates. Saw my GP, confirmed some of what Rheumatologist sent me for, was appropriately horrified at the previous results that hadn't been disclosed to me or followed up on, and got a successful referral back to Gynecology. Waiting on next appointment on the medical merry-go-round. ugh. #byme

The specialist was great, my score on the scale is high enough to qualify, but because of all my comorbities she's gunna have me do some bloodwork first and really dig into my autoimmune nonsense to ensure it's not just being caused by something over there instead. Either way I was believed! #byme

I got to fulfill a lifelong dream and see Bon Jovi in concert. The past couple of weeks have been so good that I'm definitely on a joy comedown now. Used up ALL my happy chemicals. Tomorrow I finally get to see a rheumatologist about my crap tendons. Fingers crossed something comes of it. #byme

I'm always spoiled, but Marc goes above and beyond for my birthday month. Currently looking through American import websites picking out treats from my homeland. Why do they never have Little Debbie?! Someone tell the Brits about her!!!! #byme

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

my Florida blood is keeping me going through this heat wave, but I feel terrible for my husband who's already a human radiator. He's melting, and there's nothing more I can do for him. I occasionally spitz him with cool water like a plant. #byme

Good news! Was able to get an xray today. nothing broken. GP said if that was the case we'd look at an MRI for soft tissue stuff, but that takes time. At least I have guidance on what levels of using it I can do in the mean time. It was only like 4 hours out of my day. Could've been worse. #byme

Knee's still a bit of a concern, so finally going to ask the GP if they'll scan it for me tomorrow. If they try to just send me to physio again I'll tell them to kick rocks. I already do physio. Knee's got a dent in it. #byme

Just Plain Amy @justplainamy.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Foot's been holding up far better than my knee I smashed 3 weeks ago. That's still giving me enough grief when I try to workout or go on walks that I might have to break down and call the GP about it. They'll say physio, but it isn't enough. I want a scan, but not to wait in A&E for HOURS.😭 #byme

the UK Games Expo was amazing again this year. Home to our own bed both sad that Manic May is over, and also relieved. My body is shattered in nearly frightening ways. I will be in bed for the next couple of days, at *least.* WORTH IT. Already making plans for next year! #byme

Twenty years ago today Marc asked me to marry him. We'd gone to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to see Titus Andronicus for his birthday. He was so nervous he knelt in a puddle. I was so concerned for his wet knee I didn't hear anything he said. We were meant to be. Best choice I've ever made! #byme

I expected to get further through Fun Month before my body threw a wobbly, but this week has been a wash, and I'm admitting I'm sick. I gotta be better by Friday. Saturday at the VERY least. Got fun things to do, damnit! #byme

And of course, I also managed to injure myself in new ways on the trip, because would it be me if I didn't? Worth it. Still worth it all. Would do it again in a heartbeat! going to stay in bed as much of the weekend as I can, but I've got some cleaning to do before D&D Sunday. #byme

Another successful #concert! Colm is the nicest guy, very funny and personable, and spent ages meeting, signing, and taking photos with people after. Want to see him again immediately! Also loved the opener, Fox of Isembard's Wheel, and got a photo with him, too. Fantastic evening! #byme

Just Plain Amy @justplainamy.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

The next trip, tomorrow, is to Nottingham to see Colm R McGuiness in #concert! Haven't seen either before, so fingers crossed this standing room gig is less painful so I can look around before we come home Friday. I can't pick just 1 song I need to hear, I made a whole tumblr post of them! #byme

The time between the previous adventure and the next was Not restful, as pain kept me from sleeping well for the first few days, work was work, and our fridge died. Inconvenient, but we handled it! Going into next trip more depleted than I hoped, but just as excited! #byme

Just Plain Amy @justplainamy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Trip was excellent, I'm even more broken physically than I expected to be, but as we literally ran into Alex the afternoon of the gig, it was all worth it. When my brain works again I might post pics or something, but I said that after the SailorMoon/Hiddles weekend in London and still haven't #byme

Time for another adventure! Tomorrow off to Manchester for Friday's bbno$ concert. I am VERY HYPED. I'm not even thinking about the fact that it's a standing only gig and it's going to cripple me. Not at all. It's WORTH IT. #music #byme #concert

Was so annoyed by the government raising the age limit on NHS covid vaxinations for health compromised people that I gave in and just bought one yesterday. I'm happy to know I'll have some protection for all the group events I'm doing in May, but grumpy it was £99. #byme

Being on social media less is helping, but it means I'm missing out on a lot of life updates from friends and family everywhere. It doesn't help having to hunt them down on so many sites to GET the updates. I love yall. I hope you're well. I miss you. #byme

Valentine's was the 20 year anniversary of Marc and I's first official date! At some point over my visit the following week, I realized I was in love with him, and we had to start figuring out how to keep it working long-distance while we figured out how to live in the same country, again! #byme

Work weekend away was far more civilized than in previous years, in spite of being on a weekend when you'd think they'd go even crazier. Or I managed to avoid all the drama- either was it was AWESOME. I herded DUCKS and held a duck and pet pygmy goats and now I'm totally shattered. Worth it! #byme

Urge to quit job, live on cheap noodles, and just focus on writing grows stronger every day. I think this year I start booking time into my calendar every week just for writing. I need the structure. See also: chires and renovations. If I don't start scheduling it, nothing will happen! #byme

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year: A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Tree's up! Earliest we've put it up in... ever? Normally we're so busy it's a last minute situation, and we rarely get to do it as a team. We did the tree to Xmas music, and then watched the new Knives Out, wrapped presents, and have had the cuddliest evening! #byme

Husband Marc was on tv again. He's a cutie, but they only showed the dame on the 1st show- before his look was finalized. Bit of a disservice! Show did a fantastic job making Warwick Castle look magical. I feel lucky <3 You'd never know the amount of drama that went on behind the scenes. #byme

Going through the stray cat "leave me alone" stage that I do sometimes, which is unfortunate because I made a whole bunch of plans before it happened. I've been extra quiet in general in the internet compared to my usual as a result. I am alive, I am well, I am just being introverty. #byme

I always take Halloween off of work, but this year all my plans - including seeing a friend visiting from overseas- have been cancelled because the flu shot has made moving around a nightmare. I'm gutted, & will never schedule it so stupidly again. Been in bed for days. Mental health suffering #byme
