Apr. 19th, 2023 08:58 pmBelovedest's new work schedule is kicking in. Friday's a better shopping day than the weekend, in general. In nature, when an otherwise prey-looking animal has extremely bright colors, it often signals toxicity. Don't eat me, you'll regret it. There are now two days at work where Belovedest wears one of their unfuckwithable bright red shirts. (They have two of them as of some time ago, when I found a reasonable deal on a second.)
My hip varies between fairly calm and completely terrible. Sometimes I just Take To My Bed over it.
New therapist isn't bad, but there are a few things we're not on the same page about. Normal for humans! Today we wandered off into Shooting The Shit about gender essentialism. (He's against it, and has a few feminine-coded hobbies, but I think this was the first time he'd heard the phrase.) I also got to explain about the way that some gender dysphoria doesn't become apparent until after the intervention takes. (Like my uterus.) This was news to him! I'm glad to have added that into his toolkit. He, uh, thought that since the uterus is internal, it's not necessarily a huge problem. (!!!!) I mentioned that there are times that it makes itself known. Regularly. Which was how we got into gender essentialism: the aggressive pinkness of menstrual gear.
And he had a fishmum, by any other name.
I got some bubble tea powders on Monday, for the tea part. Also some other miscellany, like the soup base I'd been sent for. Tuesday was my psych appointment; I plan to ask next time why we're on a 6 week cadence when my prescriptions are at a 30 day. I'm adjusting my sleep med dosage back to the previous level from last month. I've also got some new features on my sleep chart spreadsheet, like the star ratings and the average times for the month.
The cheddar bay biscuits just came out of the oven, so I should apply myself to those.
