southernmedicineHad a really great therapy session today.
Been writing out and sending holiday cards to friends and DW homies, and wrapping gifts for my family. Very aware that all the Christmas music I listen to while I do these cheerful chores may actually impact my Spotify Wrapped since I spent a huge chunk of the year not using Spotify at all, whoops?
My root canal went great. I was scared, but there was 0 pain during the procedure. It was after the numbness wore off that ooh, I get it now, oh no. Luckily my dentist prescribed industrial strength ibuprofen, but I still can't use that side of my mouth to chew at all. Going back next week to get the crown.
My infatuation with Sabine Wren and Shin Hati is not calming down and I am in fact rattling my cage wondering when creatives are going to start making pins of them for me to add to my collection.
I am really, really excited for the new year. I am ready for a fresh start. I'm getting my hair cut into a new style and colored - I got permission from my new boss to use whatever color I want, so I think I'm going purple maybe? It's a color I've never been! - and also.
Also.
That Person and I are getting matching tattoos. Well. She already got hers, so now it's my turn. I'm still researching various artists in and around my city trying to find someone I like. It's my first and maybe only tattoo, so I just. Need it to be perfect.
Speaking of That Person, we had a conversation the other night that led to her telling me that some days, she thinks she wants what we used to have. I didn't know what to say to that other than to thank her for telling me, and to reiterate that our friendship is the cornerstone of everything and it is what I cherish the most, but that if she were to want those other things, they are hers unconditionally. I didn't ask any follow up questions. I didn't say much more than that. I just let it pass me by, because... I don't know. That was vague language. I don't want to push for anything, especially since, as much as I would love it, I don't need it. She makes me really happy, being my best friend.
So anyway, things are going pretty good, aside from the fact that the DSS absolutely refuses to communicate with me re: my stolen food benefits. I have called so many people so many times over the past several months. No one answers the phone. No one returns my calls. I leave voicemails. Nothing. I eventually got fed up and wrote a letter that I sent to the office, begging for at least acknowledgement, and nothing.
I called yesterday to make an appointment to go into the office, because apparently that's what I will have to do in order to get any attention, and the lady said they don't do that over the phone. HUH? She said I have to go into the office. I asked "So I have to go into the office to make an appointment to go into the office?" and she said "Yes."
Kay.
So, that's me! Hope you're all doing well!
