It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Fuck yeah benign!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

YAY SUSAN!

Our wings are not tired.

Just got the call from the breast clinic - BENIGN.

Woot!! See how all of us thinking about Susan's boobs made this happen. Go Buffista~ma, and of course the healthy breasts.

Yay Susan’s hooters!

SJ best of luck today. I would not want to be trying to entertain a child during a non snowy snow day!

Vortex a hair transplant sounds scary but also tempting if it would work. When I was suddenly losing tons of hair I was thinking of it kept up I might have to get super into wearing wigs. (My hair is definitely a lot thinner now but not too terrible for the most part)

Just got the call from the breast clinic - BENIGN.

Woo Hoo!!!

Thanks, meara. It's pretty much the same because I can't take her out in the snow anyway, but I'd prefer days off not be on TCG's long day.

Hell yeah, Susan!

I've been reading but not really posting because work is insane and I'm tired.

My dad was in the hospital over the weekend due to fluid on the lungs, which they had originally diagnosed as pneumonia. He only got the pneumonia diagnosis after my mom made him talk to a triage nurse since he'd been complaining that he couldn't breathe, but he was dragging his feet because he didn't want to get a COPD diagnosis what with being a lifelong smoker. He also needs to talk to his regular doctor about sleep apnea, which he hasn't done yet because his brother said something about CPAP machines potentially causing suffocation??? My uncle is very much not a doctor, y'all.

Anyway. I'm trying very hard to not to follow the "avoidance until things become critical" coping mechanism at play here.

I have been reading a lot lately on how high-masking smart neurodivergent women just FALL THE FUCK APART during perimenopause because all of the coping mechanisms we've been using since puberty were built on a foundation of mostly reliable hormone levels, which, as it turns out, were pretty important for day-to-day functioning.

I'm laughing nervously and taking notes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fuck yeah, benign!

Yay Susan! I love Woo Hooters!!!

I know I already commented on this, but I think it was actually a one-two punch of COVID isolation plus perimenopause. I was really good at peopling. I made a study of people. But, like, I forgot how and then also lost my memory. I am so glad that Laura and David reached out to me, though, because it is helpful being here.
