Uptime anniversary wishlist
--More time so I can do all the things I feel guilty about not doing

--Non-leather Size 15 ankle boots with wide, chunky style heels (not stilettos), and a small platform that are actual boots and not fashion toys that can actually support my frame without buckling.
--LEGO UCS Millennium Falcon
--Art.
--Sex.
Being forced to deal with the government for work, CW: All caps, frustration, venting.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Things I wish people would tell me:
It's okay to be queer and not be some counter-cultural revolutionary. It doesn't invalidate you or make you any less of who you are, and it doesn't mean you don't belong. It's okay to just be who you are - and if that means just living your life and trying to find peace, that's perfectly acceptable.
My Trans Experience, CW: coming out, family
Missed my gay cousin’s birthday yesterday. So I sent him a text today.
And then my bravery core overloaded hard enough to override my fingers. And I justified the warnings in the logs by thinking “of all the people you’re related to, He’s probably the safest”. So I hit send on the second message.
His response? “Cool. I’m starting a Pride clinic in Cleveland”
He’s always gotta try and 1-up me. <^_^>
This might go better than I’ve been fearing.
CW: Transition, coming out, pulling the trigger.
Yeah. This seems like the perfect time to do this. 35 years of uptime next Saturnday. My dad is getting his dialysis shunt installed on the 3rd.
I'm sick of seeing Drafts (1) in my email. I want to be me, and I can't keep putting it off.
Mom deserves to know why I've been sounding happier when I call her.
CW: Personal health, HRT, progress
Latest labs are back. Results:
AC1 is down to pre-diabetes range, so my diet controls have been working.
My T levels are still elevated, so I'm doubling up on my T-blockers. I should probably switch to my insurance's mail-in pharmacy, so that I can get bigger supplies.
Weight is still trending downward.
Boob Weather Update: A top-shelf is now visibly forming, with accompanying jiggle physics during jogging and stair animations. Also, OW!
As a dog person:
Cones are not for shame.
They are cones of protection.
There is no shame in having been cared for.
Fellow dogs: Wear your cones proudly and without stigma!

That face when:
you get paged for a sev2, after about an hour of recharge time, you can't do anything about it from home, so yo have to go into the data center, and when you reach out to the people who know what they're doing, you get told that they are busy with other tasks, and to just follow the normal procedure for device down. Which you don't know, because you've been working with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SERVICE for a year.
Nights like this make me want to quit this job and go back to Desktop Support. At least there I was useful and appreciated and could fix things and be seen fixing things.
HRT, my personal trans experience
-- Swimsuits are bullshit sometimes, but i need to get one that fits and can withstand the way I play. The pride-pandering impulse purchase was just a little bit too small to be comfortable or Rex enough for all these chocolate curves.
-- Diving after a 17 year gap has made me realized just how much my bio-frame has changed from the cached tactile map from my Varsity days. There are a couple of things there that weren't there the last time.
-- Feeling my tits bob and float on the surface at the shallow end is such a fun and silly feeling. I love it.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
Huskybots, nerd, trans, PoC, furry, poly, thirsty AF, budding stoner.
