I'm gonna go pass out now because sitting long enough to doodle makes me wanna barf

💚

I've been replaying Stardew Valley to deal with overexerting myself, so I wanted to doodle my farmer (Leigh) and Harvey

Making those buttons destroyed me physically. And tbh doodling through stomach pain and nausea tonight isn't making me feel any better but I miss drawing

I actually managed to draw some tonight 😭

And I /need/ that money so I can stretch it for a couple months

Part of me is tempted to go to the ER because the only thing omeprazole has managed is to do (after two weeks), is lessen the pain enough that I can somewhat pinpoint where it's the worst. But if I go and it's my gallbladder I'm not gonna be able to table at PopCon.

It really is :/ Our system was older than that, with an A/C unit that still used freon. So, yeah!We had to go the financing route because 19k was a horrific amount of money to drop.

Hadn't eaten anything spicy since early January :') It was good but not actually smart for suspected gastroparesis.

Getting a roof replaced is cheaper than replacing an HVAC system by a solid $5000 🫠 For anyone who might benefit from that knowledge

Meeting people. Gasping like a fish :') Also, was going okay but ice cream was the stomach discomfort tipping point. Darkest chocolate + house coffee is still a stellar combo though.

Dealing with my stomach (again) and have been playing Stardew (again).

I feel sick all of the time and the endocrinologist keeps reassuring me that the thyroid nodule is too small to be cancerous but idk man

I haven't lost the drive and desire for any of these things. My muscles are weak, I'm exhausted, and I feel like something inside me is rotting. I legit don't have any other way to describe it.

I've never felt so useless in my life than I have in the last few months. And the fact that doctors are still trying to brush it off as depression is driving me up the wall. I wanna take commissions. I wanna draw for myself. I wanna be able to eat. I wanna clean my house and mow my lawn.

And were already allergic to grass.

Lesson of the day. Don't try to mow the lawn when you're struggling to breathe around a thyroid nodule and have recently become allergic to the sun.

"Patient has been suicidal since 13 and states that they are no longer 'sad' after starting birth control"
Excuse me? EXCUSE ME??? I never said I wasn't sad, I said I was surprised that the suicidal ideation stopped completely.

Start a new paper trail and leave OSU behind as much as humanly possible because the reading the clinical notes has me seeing red.

The temptation to find a new doctor and not bring up the bipolar diagnosis that I'm 99% sure was wrong is very real today.

But also

The girls

I KNEW IT. I started noticing a curl pattern to my hair after it grew out, I just don't know how to work with it at all. I was told my whole life that my hair wouldn't hold a curl but it stays a frizzy, poofy mess when blow-dried :')

I participated in a genetic study to learn what cancers I'm susceptible to (for early screening purposes) and it included traits and ancestry. The 95% European I expected. The 5% South Asian I did not.

Trying to order on-cor chicken nuggets because they're the only nuggets I've been able to stomach since childhood. From the only store in the city that has them apparently. So, fingers crossed :'))

We were told the water heater was replaced the year we bought it. When it ruptured two years later, we were told by the plumbers that it was at least ten.
We were told the roof was replaced in 2011. The people we're hiring to replace it laughed and said it was likely much older than that.

Trying to decide if it's worth suing the previous realtor and homeowners (turned out they were family) for lying about major house repairs.

Decided on chateau green shingles. I figured it would look nice with the off-white siding and red brick.

A round baby who was very brave and endured 4 hours of a stranger in the house talking about roof replacement

"Can you handle a $2000 down payment and $600 a month finance bill?"
Boy, we just told you our savings were under a 1k get out
