Doing another brain dump. 🧠

I'm going to do ketamine therapy tonight so I need to clear out my brain.

I did yoga tonight. We used straps and I feel good and stretched. My yoga instructor says I'm very flexible so I will take the compliment. There's plenty of stuff that I know that I cannot do so it was really nice to hear that I'm flexible. Lol. She's always really nice to me. Makes me feel a bit better because I am the biggest person in class.

Feels good being able to start off the new year with yoga. It helped because I was feeling sore from the class I did on Monday. I can still feel that class in my quads.

We took down the Christmas tree today and did some laundry. Other than that we took it pretty easy today. I still need to put away more laundry but that can wait until after ketamine therapy.

I might put ketamine therapy on hold for a bit so I can afford GLP-1. I'm still nervous that it may not get covered by insurance. I hope the script is covered and that it isn't too expensive. Because if it is I won't be able to afford ketamine therapy and GLP-1. My prescriber said that getting ketamine in the pills form isn't as good as getting it done via IV because it isn't as effective. I've seen ketamine work wonders for me so I'm frankly afraid to stop it, so I'm hoping everything works out in terms of budgeting.

I'm trying to save money this year and pay off a lot of debt. I have large payments I have to make every month because I got into extreme debt during covid and it's taking awhile to pay off. 🙃 It also fucked up my credit score. I'm trying to get that back in balance but I can only do what I can to get my credit score back up to a better number.

My fiance is making quesadillas which I'm looking forward to. One thing I hate about ketamine is having to wait to eat. I always feel like I'm ravenous afterward.

I'm still reading Delta of Venus which is a very fucked up book. My nightly routine is to read a fucked up story each evening before bed. Every time I feel confident that it's "enough" for the evening. I usually discuss it with my fiance because he hears me make noises of aghast as I read.

I'm trying to think up a mantra for this evening. I think I'll use "I release my fear." Half the time I feel like I'm not doing my therapy right but something has to be working because I've seen an extreme difference since I started ketamine therapy last year. I worry about the costs for IV therapy if I switch back to it although I do feel like it might be more effective. Ah well I'll face that when I come to it.

I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. My job isn't bad, I just don't enjoy it and I wish I could brainwash myself into liking it. That'd be easier. I'm not in a position to look for work yet because my fiance won't start his new job until March. Things are different for counselors in private practice. This is fairly standard apparently because of the insurance and everything they have to take out and make sure everything like background checks and what not are good to go.

I'm not really looking forward to ketamine therapy either to be honest. It's very boring. I feel like I'd rather listen to a podcast or something so maybe I'll do that. Idk. And after this no more tiktok for this evening as I need to avoided negative stuff and tiktok will send all sorts of stuff my way. I'll probably be screwing around on tumblr later.

I guess that's as much as I can think to type out before ketamine therapy so my mind doesn't wander too much. Onward to my treatment

Level Up Challenge (Romani) - Day 10

Prompt: Learn filler words.

This is a bit late because there’s not exactly lists of filler words in Romani easily available, so I was talking with people on the server I’m on to get their opinions. Here’s the list of filler words they came up with, probably skewed towards American Kalderash:

zhanes, hakyares - you know

znachi - that is (Slavic loanword)

azhuker (tsirra/ekh klipa) - wait (a sec)

chaches? - really?

naj kadja? - right?

apsolutno(?), sar te na - of course (sar te na came off as sarcastic to some people though so potentially use with caution)

mishto, ja ja - okay

gindiv - I think

Let me know if you have any other words/corrections!
