I was so wrong about the temps on the weekend, we reached 32C (90F). TOO HOT. It was smoky, which did nothing to improve anyone's mood.

I had a package delivery attempt around noon on Thursday, which I obviously couldn't take because hello, I was at work. They took it back to the warehouse and redelivery was going to happen the next business day. I lucked out and the guy messaged me just after 4pm to say he'd be there soon, i replied to say I would be leaving work shortly and would be home by 4:50. I got there actually at 4:45, and he pulled up at 4:51. Win! It was my new glasses!! I immediately put a pair on, sat on the couch to be held down by Calcifer for a bit which was good bc I knew I'd been using the wrong pupilary distance since 2017, and this one was, according to another online glasses site, slightly wider (literally 1mm), my eyes were like HOLy FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING. By the time Calcifer left me, they had calmed down a lot and out I went to retrieve my packages. The last one is expected some time this week, it is coming Canada Post from Vancouver, so maaaaaybe today but I think Wednesday will be more likely.

(Had some fibroid shedding happen while I was scooting around, that was bloody (ha) annoying, and it's really been bad all weekend.)

Saturday I stayed home except for a brief trip out to get toilet paper (I forgot when I was out the night before). There was an art festival happening very nearby so traffic was a little wild. On Sunday, my friend texted that she and another mutual friend were at the festival, did I want to come join them? You know what, yes. It is so close, I walked over and was there in no time at all. I bought an ADORABLE black cat with a witch hat print and there was so much lovely pottery and other art, I could have spent sooo much money. After we ate, I went home and dropped of my pretties and left again to go meet another friend for ice cream! The place is so much closer now, i was there in literally 10 minutes so even though I left at 1:52, I was there at 2:04, and they were late too so we were all on time. Woo!

Left there around 5, which is when the art festival closed so by the time I got back there was street parking in front of my house still lol. But since it was SO HOT all day and I got a BUNCH of sun while at the fest for a whole hour, I was so tired and basically just waited to go to bed at 9pm.

This week I need to find out if I'm expected at the ball on Saturday and if so, figure out what I can wear. I made a phone appointment with my doc for today for the missing prescription. I have therapy on Wednesday. I need to do laundry. If I don't go to the yarn event, I should probably go see my gramma, even if that means running into ball prep time. The usual megrims about housework. I really hope they don't come into my apartment today to do work, the kittens were having SO MUCH FUN with the packaging of the boxes I brought home. This is going to be a slightly less nutty week than the one at the end of March, but not by a lot. Deep breaths, I will get through this.

Whyyyy do cats prefer trash to the expensive stuff that was in the boxes?

Despite the heat it sounds like you had a fine socializing weekend.

Oh hell, fibroids can be NASTY! I had a bad experience with one some years back, where the doctor surgically removed one that was the diametre of your average watermelon. People underestimate how bad the symptoms can be...

To be honest, I very nearly didn't. I became heavily anemic from the nonstop bleeding, the damn thing was going necrotic inside me, and my obgyn didn't want to do anything surgical for a long time because, quote, "it might affect [my] ability to have kids." It took a lot of convincing for anything to actually be done, I nearly ended up losing my job over all the time I was missing due to the heavy bleeding and anemia issues.

I hope whichever gyn you see does better by you than mine did by me! Nobody should be bleeding that much or for that long!

FUUUUUUUCK your obgyn SO hard. A necrotic fibroid was ignored in case of future potential children, let's just ignore the part where a necrotic body part might kill the host which would 100% deny future children.

I hate everyone. Especially your hopefully former crotch doctor. Please accept sympathies from this stranger.

Sympathies accepted and appreciated.

In absolute fairness to said former doctor, she didn't know it was necrotic until she actually did the surgery. That being said, letting it all go on for so long meant she was ignoring or downplaying every symptom I reported to her. She wasn't a good doctor, and I have no idea how she justifies to herself any of what happened, but at least I know who NOT to see in the city if I ever need such intervention again!

Damned if I know what she was thinking. IF she was thinking. Since she had a reputation of being biased against larger people and I am, shall we say, not exactly on the small side, she may have been letting it cloud her judgment. Or maybe she was much more into the side of her job that involved babies and not the side that involved not-babies (many of her patient reviews involving actual pregnancy and delivery were glowing, but most of the reviews involving other gyno problems were less than stellar).

Also, I love that icon!
