Daily Thought

[Shezep]

I went to my four month top surgery follow up today. Functionally, I'm very happy with the result, my sore shoulders and pinched nerve has gotten much better. But, cosmetically, not as much. The scars are doing fine, but one side seems a little caved in like they took too much off. I'm going back in two months for the six month follow up, and we'll see what the options are for fixing it and whether or not I think it's worth doing.

But the thought is that I was getting "ma'am"ed and "miss"ed the whole time I was there. I'm genderfluid so they were only half wrong, but that's still half wrong, and it felt more wrong the more they did it. Sometimes it's hard to decide whether to correct people or not, afterall, I was only going to be in there for a few minutes and not see those people again for a few months. And there is no neutral equivalent for ma'am that I can direct them to use instead.

I sang in my new and improved (sort of), masculine voice all the way home in the car. Most of the time I go the whole day without thinking about gender. This is not one of those days.

I understand the feeling: not knowing whether I feel like correcting someone or not. I consider myself a transman, but at the same time I could also go with nonbinary as well. I don't dismiss anyone who does follow some sort of gender role, mixed or otherwise, but I often don't think that much about gender either. I am who I am, and that is a predominantly masculine presence with some feminine mixed in based on my natural characteristics given at birth.

I had top surgery a few years ago and while I do not regret that choice, I also do not feel the need to further alter my body. Hence nonbinary and/or androgynous resonates with me, if that makes any sense. I sometimes debate on getting myself some of the nice shawl-like clothing a friend of mine gets. But then I chicken out because I don't want to be ma'am-ed either. So, I get it ^^;;;;

Being a person is hard. Adulting is hard. So many expectation, so many bills... never enough money no matter how hard you work.
I’ll push through. I’ll always push through.

Anyone else craving cheese?

anyone got a favorite lizard? I like newts, they just have a nice species name

I am a fan of salamander with memories as a child finding them near creeks, thorny dragons and of course the komodo dragon!

As you are a fan of the name, myself being a language nerd.. I see the original name was 'ewte', and somewhere in middle English people mistakenly interpreted "an ewte" as "a newte" and the name stuck!

A similar thing happened 'adder', the snake was originally called 'naddere' and 'a naddere' turned to 'an adder'. This is called rebracketting.

I did not know that!! The name fact is utterly delightful and I find it quite interesting, and the memory and lizards you chose to share are splendid as welll ^^

I had multiple hermit crabs as a child, my mother bribed me into improving my reading by buying me them

I used to live in central Texas where there were anoles everywhere. They're cute little things that can change between brown and green. I remember catching them as a kid.

Now I'm in West Texas, and here we have spotted brown geckos that hang on the windows at night to hunt. Lots of other lizard species wandering around too. Some are long and have blue tails.

I think the blue-tailed boi is a skink! I really want to see a Gila someday, maybe next time I'm in California

I worked very much this week. Normally I work 25 hours per week, until now it was 35 hours and Friday isn't done yet. I could have worked less, but I want to finish my programming task on time, so whoever tests it doesn't get stressed and I've got enough time to correct potential bugs.

I want to do this course so bad, but I don't know if I should pay: Diploma in Modern Demonology for Paranormal Investigators
If I use PayPal on this website my money is safe, right?
Also I hope that the information they provide is as good as the reviews say.

I'm about to cook myself a trout for dinner. This is something very special since every time I do that, I'm... admiring, ya know? I always take a moment to admire the sheer beauty of the fish, the perfect adaptation of the body to it's natural habitat. It creates great awe and respect for the animal and nature as a whole. Now, you may argue that not becoming a full vegetarian would contradict that sentiment, but in my eyes it isn't. Life being consumed in order to sustain other life, that's all part of the circle, and equally part of what I'm in awe of.

I researched into narcolepsy in regards to my sleeping problems a little bit ago. in a worrying turn on events, the symptoms line up quite accurately! I guess i better ask a doctor (￣∀￣)
