My provider moved since the last time I had options, and I keep not getting calls back for a new appointment, so who knows when I'll have more

Working my way through @criticalrole.bsky.social ,on C2E68, remembering that the last time I heard much about D&D beyond they were being extremely money hungry, plus partnering with Target, doing lots of ads on Twitter... I wonder how this ages as it goes ๐Ÿ˜

We went to a gem and mineral show, and the tistics were out in force! ๐Ÿคฃ (that does include us)

We ended up with a fossilized shell, a simple arrowhead, some rose quartz, a grape agate, and a little teardrop shaped malachite that I want done into a pendant ๐Ÿ’œ The boys LOVED IT.

I love how squishy her face is. Just so much unnecessary skin. Perfect for smooshing.

Why do I feel like the term "ad hominem" isn't being used anymore, despite being a thing, and a recognized weak argument?

I hate my brain. But yes, I do literally have it on my calendar to call back to the NP I was using for my ADHD meds. I think I'll have coverage for those again with my new employer, plus something new to add some chill factor???

Having awful flashbacks when I was trying to struggle through my unmedicated early 20s by clinging to my understanding of horse psychology bc it's the ONLY thing I thought I could understand, and it was so INACCURATE. I don't want to go back to that constant failure meltdown.

I'm getting disrespect and defiance from my kids that's making me have flashbacks to being a kid myself in school, where nobody liked me, refused to listen to me from sheer principle bc I was just shit? Inferior? Wrong? And I have no idea why or now to do it right

It's weird doing this while medicated... Like I know I shouldn't be feeling this. I recognize it for what it is. But it's there and all the more baffling. How do people just... DO it? Just Life around like it's natural? I feel like I cannot, for the life of me, function correctly.

I'm having emotional bleed through the antidepressants, I've realized. I'm struggling to keep up, while everyone around me seems to have no real problem other than a little stress and annoyance. Back to the old How Does One Human Correctly crisis that I've come to recognize from autistic stories.

I am ready and waiting with this one. "Some boys don't think girls are cute, they think other boys are. And that's okay."

I'm already watching my pronouns when talking about the future people my boys may be attracted to.

Pretty sure 5yo likes girls bc he's a flirt, no telling with 3yo.

Reading Dan Simmons' The Terror. I'm not sure where the book is going, but the idea of the northwest passage is baffling to me. Here, let's go FURTHER north into ICIER ice, until we find water that is... impervious to freezing?

The water:

I've got Equal Rites queued up, but need to finish The Terror (Dan Simmons) first, since I started it while I didn't have Libby handy.

This book reads COLD and I think it be cool to hear the sounds of the ice but not so much to experience the temps ๐Ÿ˜…
