arnanaki would very much like to return to blogging at least once a month so hiiii
i have caught the gnarliest cold ive ever had in my entire life, i fear. kinda funny, it actually kicked in the day after i made my last blog, thats when my throat was suddenly super sore. and ive been sick ever since. i mask at work and use a neti pot before i head in, that usually leaves me in a functional state. its lightening up now though. my energy is returning and i actually have motivation to do things again lol. maybe i have a sinus infection or something. i blame it all on a customer that came in a few days before i showed symptoms who was standing near me then started coughing badly and saying he was getting over something...
Top Surgery
its happening soon! i had my pre-op appointment a few days ago. my mom randomly announced like two days before that she got the day off and so shes coming with me. she ended up driving the entire way! (Reminder to those who don't know, my surgeon is 4 hours away.)
ever since the break ups ive been interacting with her more. i was minimal contact for many years after failing to go no contact (cops were involved) but shes really swooped in and insisted on helping. i still havent, uh, really had a conversation about why i did that. that being, she was very abusive back in the day and had a focus on physical punishment when i refused to wear make-up and feminine clothing. but we're cool now and shes an ally i guess lol
Anyways, yeah she drove the entire way, insisted she gets anxious if she's not driving. I feel the same way, but being sick I didn't mind it at all. I put The Hunger Games' audiobook on and rested, sleeping in patches. At the pre-op, I got a bunch of instructions for crap and my prescriptions sent in. I was also told my medical leave should be 4 weeks, not 2, but I can go back early with a return to work order if I truly want to head back in sooner. I need dat money! I'm gonna be bored!
On the way back I went to Dunkin' at one of the travel plazas and got, like, the "milk 'n cereal latte" or whatever? Fuuuuuuck. Divine. It really did taste like you dumped fruity pebble milk into coffee. It made me wanna DIY that sometime. Like just have a bowl with extra milk then dump what's left after I eat the pebbles into my coffee.
Anyways, yeah, got some shopping to do! Yesterday I swung by the thrift to get some button-ups to wear during recovery because I ONLY have t-shirts, hoodies, and crewnecks. While there I found a hydroflask for like $6! It was gross as fuck but I've got it soaking in baking soda and vinegar now. I'll even hit it with bleach towards the end of my cleaning process. What a fine! You just gotta be willing to clean sometimes. It looked like it was covered in flecks of blood after being used to beat someone to death but I'm hoping it's actually just, uh, not a body fluid? That's all on the outside, who cares I got this I got this.
Ugh, I'm so excited for this process to be over with. It's been such a massive stressor hanging over my head. I can't focus on anything except I'm getting surgery in ~three weeks. Especially with all this political shit! I swear I'm gonna wake up and just smile and think to myself, finally I can't worry about them taking this from me.
Fish
i forgot to update on this but i have a fish now! a white platinum betta named Talus but truth be told i only call him darling. lots of learning when it comes to having a live planted tank, i'll tell you that. more later when i got the time as i gotta go do some shit before work tonight.
Books
