Done This Week

Holy--! Okay. Alright. Got my car back. Only cost me most of a month’s wages. Cool and fine. At least I am no longer losing my mind from overstimulation quite as much.

(I still, notably, have a trainee with me every blessed moment of the work day. And parents at home, such that I maybe get an hour a day alone there. Which is why getting my 50 minutes of solitary commute time back was so important. I want to murder every person who comes near me right now, and this is an improvement.)

Whumptober managed to sneak up on me. Do I have time to be brainstorming, drafting, and posting a story every day? No, not really. I miss my breaks at work so often, most of the writing has to get done once I get home. But damn it, I like doing it. It’s got me writing for Stranger Things at last, which I’ve been too nervous to jump into up to this point.

Lewisia: 3 new pieces, plus another bonus piece written

Day job: 45.25 hours, and I’m back to pulling OT constantly, yAaAaY~~~

Listening: Existential Shred by Baby Got Back Talk (found randomly via tumblr, as one does, quite enjoyable, though I maintain that the whole genre needs to mix their vocals better so I can actually understand what they’re saying)

Aftermarket Parts: only got to listen to the intro for Module 3 before the week got away from me

Whumptober: 11295 words written across seven fills

On Four Months

[CW for frank discussions of body changes, including hair, menstruation, and libido, and talk of dysphoria. Also, I am going to talk (briefly) about sex toys. I'll be putting these updates fully under cuts, as they are less general interest on the topic of gender/transness and more "what do I personally have going on with my bits these days." Niche interest and all that.]

As mentioned last month, I nudged my dosage up a little bit. I’m at 0.35mL now. I wondered for a while if I was not reacting to it well, the details of which I’ll get into below. But I think most of it was just stress--September was a Very Bad Month for me in general--and it seems a bit better now. I’m definitely not going to increase it anymore for a while. I think I’ll reassess at six months. That seems like a good marker for a moment of reflection. (As though I’m not reflecting on this every month as it is.)
