Hahaha yes, I have a fully functional crud layer working now. Time to get a file uploader working. Eventually will have to do some fancier shit calling and joining rows from multiple tables. But progress! 🔥

Get your own solo Fedi instance, and you too can live the dream of making terrible decisions regarding your social media platform because you are in charge and no one can tell you no! Highly recommended! :D

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm a very tired nonbinary artist trying to draw neat stuff in my free time to keep the horrors away. I make comics, stickers with a love for character art, textures and bright colors. Comic: schism.org Ko-Fi Shop: ko-fi.com/newbabyfly

Little things that hit you and make you sad months later: doing a deep vacuuming and thinking "well, we won't be needing to sweep up dog fur anymore." I'm still finding toys under furniture or tucked away places.

So pretty much by Monday, the addict brain had shut up and accepted that it is not getting a cigarette. Today though, damn I would like one. I will not though, and I'm actually pretty proud of myself for being able to completely cut it off rather than tapering down.

Day two. Got very cranky last night for sure. Going to a big family shindig tonight. Some of them are.. very red. (But some that are very cool.) Probably playing with fire by going because I will make a scene if one of them says something awful.

Someone followed the kid all the way up to the door and peeked inside (from a distance) while waiting for his snack. Still no touchy, but will hover around us in a 5-10' radius even when we're moving around. Progress!

Looking up and reading on my MS treatment options. Leaning towards stabbing myself monthly. Looked em up on my insurance app. The two infusion ones say it's not covered but stabby one is? Okay I will tell my immune system to stop hitting myself by stabbing myself.

Doc: I'm not putting it on your chart that you have MS but giiiirrrrl you got MS. (Scheduling lumbar puncture and 5000 more blood tests to confirm as a formality mostly because it's a serious enough diagnosis that i will be stuck with forever, so be 1000% sure first.)
