This morning I realized I have documented 14 years of my life. What a feat. If at any point I fall to dementia or something tragic befalls me, it's nice to know that my experiences have all been recorded. Maybe there's some nugget of wisdom that can be shared. Maybe future generations can read it and see what the life of the average village idiot was all about. Or maybe it's all been a waste of time and it will vanish into the ether. Who knows.
Anyway. I slept in until 5:40 this morning. C let me sleep and I appreciate it. I needed it. We had a busy day yesterday. I got up and first went off to my annual eye doctor appointment. The good news is that I was able to get my name and all my info changed. Another lingering thing with my old name gone. There's something that would be interesting to read over 14 years. The journey of a trans woman. How I've gone from an angry human to one who has found some kind of peace. Saw the doctor, lovely woman I might add, and the best news is that there's been no change to my eyes. That's awesome. In 2022 there was no change, in 2023 we adjusted by 1/4 point, and now no change again. Nice. When I got back home we started in on our big project: reorganizing that fucking kitchen. We pulled as much out as we could and started moving shit around. I got quite a bit moved and enough that I can function. I need to fine tune things today. I have huge swatches of unused cabinet space now. Threw away two bags of expired out dated food, things that are broken or we just don't use. Leveraged my new containers from the container store. I'd like some more. There's a number of things I uncovered that I could use a few more containers for storage. But that can wait. Not the end of the world.
At around 2 we went to the park for community day. In the morning I was talking with the girls at the eye doctor about how this was the first year there hadn't been any snow in the parking lot. We all commented on how weird it was. Guess what it started doing during community day? Yep. Snow. There's a good covering outside right now. Joy. After we went to our favorite pizza place. Sadly it was a bit crowded and neither of us could hear each other. While that would have been tolerable, we ended up next to a woman wearing too much perfume and had to leave. Like it was giving us both headaches and affecting the taste of our food. I quietly told the server why we suddenly had to leave and she understood as she was serving them and I could see her body language when she was at their table. She got it. Took our pizza home, had it here while watching some tv, and enjoyed it more. We went off to bed around 10:30.
C heard back from one of the new jobs she applied to. Sadly the original position has been filled but they may have more in the near future. She needs out of where she is. One of the managers has a personal vendetta against her and it's making life hell. She used to have fun going in. Now it's cut hours, blame where it shouldn't be, and just a negative time. I am pushing her gently to apply for other things. I think this year is where we get her on a path. I am going to help her find a career counselor to discuss this all with soon. Get some direction.
Okay, shower time and then more kitchen work. Have a great Sunday my friends.
