Somehow I've started getting recruiter emails addressed to <deadname> but only at my /work/ email address 🤨

A tragedy has occurred: my FAVORITE sweater fell into the laundry bin (the shelves where I keep my sweaters are v narrow and things fall off of them) and so it went through the dryer when my husband did the laundry 😭😭😭
GOD I have so much time for crafts and exercising when I'm off work, truly a bummer that I am not financially prepared to retire at 35
I gotta say the Sunday scaries are less bad now that I've got two weeks of PTO coming up at the end of the month
I discovered halfway into making this recipe that hello fresh had neglected to include the tempura mix, so I am substituting...waffle mix. This may end in disaster
Me, literally yesterday: wow, I think my health is as good as it's been in several years! My body, about to wreck my weekend with persistent vertigo for no reason: lol. lmao
Rude of the weather to be briefly nice enough to tempt me to get back into jogging and then almost immediately get hot
It's only been 8 hours since my COVID booster and I feel REAL WEIRD, this does not bode well.
Oof the migraine Botox shots have angered some of my tiny face muscles more that usual 😖
Well, I made it almost 3 months between "learn to use makerspace knitting machine" and "buy my own knitting machine"
Noooooooooo I have to itemize my taxes, what a disaster
I've started a beta blocker (finally got to see a cardiologist about POTS) and my insurance actually approved dupixent the third go around for the hives!!!
It's a good thing that I understand that pharmacy benefits and medical benefits are often separate and the medical benefits provider will deny pharmaceutical requests because the benefits coordinator at my doctor's office benefits coordinator sure didn't seem to know this!!!
WOW uhc processed my appeal for my September OON claim which means...I am finally all caught up? Once the direct deposit goes through it will be the first time in 18 months that my insurance company has not owed me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS???
Coordinating someone else's long distance travel to/from new haven is a logistical nightmare, there are many options of plane + train(s) and they are all kinda terrible
My new apartment has a beautiful gas stove with like an enamel interior and I HATE it because the heat goes everywhere and I get hives and it exacerbates the POTS and cooking is already hard enough
To the surprise of no one I have become OBSESSED with knitting machine
Alas, an almost great breakfast sandwich, foiled by the unfortunate texture of American cheese
Sometimes your (my) body just needs to sleep for 20 hours straight for no apparent reason, normal part of having a body
Learning to use a knitting machine so I can feel incompetent at knitting again
How does the NYT "year in games" LEAVE OUT THE CROSSWORD that is the entire reason??? I have an nyt games subscription? The other games are like a cute sideshow
Best thing about working with people from SF, Europe, Argentina, and India from the east coast is that I am the least likely to be asked to join a meeting at either my 7 am or my 8 pm. Worst thing: I very frequently have a giant block of meeting from like 11-2 so I have no time to eat lunch
I have called my old Walgreens several times and notified multiple people that I have moved and do no want my prescriptions refilled anymore and they have all assured me nothing is on auto refill and yet for the third! time! they have magically decided to fill a prescription where I no longer live
“If it goes away when you take your meds it’s probably not a character flaw” is something I have to tell myself often.
I moved and I have to transfer my prescriptions (no controlled substances!) to a different pharmacy because I live too far from a Walgreens now and it is a full nightmare
I am finally being forced to upgrade my 6 year old corporate iPhone because it is "EOL" and "no longer receiving iOS updates"
Piglet is deeply traumatized by us moving stuff out of the apartment and the movers don't even come until tomorrow 😬
Six months late but I have finally ordered my birthday present (coverstitch machine) AND it was an open box so on sale AND it is getting shipped to my new apartment so I don't have to move it!
The 3.5 years I lived in this apartment I am currently moving out of is the longest I have lived anywhere since I moved out of my parents house when I was 17.
I have a new apartment!!! I wanna go move some stuff in tomorrow and also just see it generally but I got my covid booster this morning so it is possible I will spend the weekend with the migraine from hell
