Situation in Houston is very much not good. Not horrifyingly bad for me but really not good. No power for days. 84 degrees inside. Food and water is still good though. gas in car to use as occasional respite.

There is absolutely no breeze outside. It was the same after Hurricane Ike. I just hope the power isn't out for 1-2 WEEKS like after Ike. (Pictures from last night, it's a cool 84F for now 🫠)

Day 3 without power. I have decided that if anybody outside the house doesn't want to see my big belly shirtless, they shouldn't have looked in my windows.

We're just out here trying to navigate The Change, w/ few resources to tell us AHEAD OF TIME "hey A LOT OF weird shit is gonna happen in your body & brain." The medical system's only answers: "have you tried hormones? What about hormones? Hormones, maybe?" I can't take them. Guess I'll just suffer.🫠

Just for fun I looked up whether my extreme dry mouth and burning tongue are menopause related, and they are. This is dumb. I shouldn't have lived this long.

People accomplish a lot with social media, but even if no one accomplished anything it's still a social place; the only remaining 3rd-ish¹ place for most. Also some ppl just want a journal that validates them! ¹it doesn't quite meet the requirements but it's the closest match we've got left

I have bipolar and I *still* have trouble thinking of it as a "real" disability, even though it requires constant treatment and makes life difficult almost every day.

Currently getting pissed off by property listings with photos like these, taken by people acting like a real estate site is Instagram. "Gee, they were able to fit a single throw pillow on a bed- that means my stuff with fit right in!"
