I hope y’all all had a lovely new years! It’s time for another little personal update below the cut :)

I know many of you won’t care to read and that’s fine, I’m just putting this here because it’s the easiest way for me to communicate with everyone who might want to know. Here is the previous personal update for context.

With the holidays happening, things have been moving slowly on the medical front.

The bad news: I have another sinus infection, but what’s new 🙃 it feels like I’ve had one for half a year.

The good news: the ENT got back to me about my CT results and I’m just waiting on a call from their scheduler to book the surgery! Unfortunately, my CT results also indicate the need for the more intense of the two surgical options we were considering.

(I have to have a hard cast on my nose? For like a week? And can’t get it wet? RIP to my religious skincare routine ig 🥲)

Fortunately, once I have the operation the recovery is fairly quick. The first week I’ll feel like an out of commission, sad and blob-like imitation of a human. Then I get the cast off my face and 2-3 weeks later should be starting to notice an improvement in my quality of life compared to how things were before the surgery.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to have the procedure as soon as possible, realistically meaning I’ll be happy if I can get it before the end of February because that’s how things tend to go in my experience. I’ll update you guys once I know.

I can’t adequately describe just how much I’m looking forward to having energy for fandom again. I miss you all so much and I miss writing as frequently as I used to.

I miss being able to get through every day without basic things (sleep, cooking, working, existing) feeling like an uphill battle. Which, honestly, is really saying something because I’ve lived with Ehlers-Danlos my whole life—I am no stranger to battling through hard days (and sometimes waving the white flag because I can’t win them all.) When every day is a “hard” day though it’s not a very good time.

TL;DR I’m excited to have my sinuses surgically altered and get back to you all. I hope you all are well and that this new year brings you joy and peace 💕

Hot take? Maybe? A lot of things that people call men gross for are actually just normal things but women are being held to a higher standard so they get mad about the unfairness of it. Like farting? Normal bodily function. Spitting on the ground outside? Bitch I don't want phlegm stuck in my throat I'm not gonna swallow it. Peeing in the shower? It's literally a shower you are actively cleaning yourself as you go (peeing in the bathtub is a different story, I don't wanna marinate in piss). Like I'm sorry but these are literally just normal human things to do and I'm sorry that you're being held to an arbitrary inhuman standard but holding other people to the same standard is not the solution here.

I just can't get over how I'm currently experiencing one of those two weeks in a year I can breathe unobstructed through both nostrils at the same time and supposedly I have. Sinusitis.

"Why is it so blasted cold in here?!" It's not cold, he just has a fever and refuses to acknowledge it.
