@Doephin Swapped from 20mg/week estradiol valerate IM to 10mg/week IM and 2mg/day sublingual. 200mg/night of rectal progesterone as well but that’s stayed constant.
My mood’s gotten a lot more stable than the IM alone, and I’ve had some pretty decent growth resumption upstairs. As well way over sensitive nipples as above, lawl.

Something about the ‘crunch’ is resonating ~really~ strongly in the back of my head right now and I don’t know why!
@starkatt They’re actually the glyphs/colors from Hyerlight Drifter, but the aesthetic is similar to vvvvvv, yiss~

@Doephin @kistaro Tangential, buy I lived in the town where they moved the NBAF to. A lot of the reasoning was to put it I close proximity with both existing USDA research labs and the ag research apparatus of KSU/ISU/OSU/NU; all of which are within appx 5 hours by car (and the NBAF being on the campus of KSU) and are among the leading ag research universities in the country. If properly built and the BSL3/4 policies adhered to; the risk exposure should be pretty minimal. It’s not any different than the human-borne disease research in Atlanta or FoCo or similar.

@kistaro I spent 10 years in Kansas, and graduated from one of those colleges that produces those agricultural stem degrees, and I can’t do anything but agree with everything point you made here.

It’s hard sometimes.
I’ve been wound up tighter than a spring and stressed out because of job stuff. I don’t feel like I’m going anywhere and I’m stagnant, typical complaints.
But just... in the grand scheme of things it’s nothing. I’ve got people around me who suddenly lost their ability to walk. People who wind up in the hospital for things outside of their control. People who can’t work because of things outside of their control.
And against all that, my complaints of being bored and stressed and unfulfilled are... what? It’s so hard to reconcile my relatively mundane and simple problems with the much bigger ones all around me. And get those problems don’t leave me any less worn out, any less tense and wound up and unable to sleep.
It’s just... hard to put it all together sometimes, meh.
@zetasyanthis Honestly some mushrooms sound pretty good right now.
