Doctor said my condition 'looks and sounds just like lupus' in his own words, repeatedly comparing my facial patterns- to then blaming it on me being transgender after seeing my chest scars while checking my heart rate. Blames it on testosterone use. I haven't been on T for years.
On the way out asked what pronouns to use on my medical papers. I said I don't care, whatever's least confusing. He then asks again, stating that trans people are 'sensitive' and get upset about their paperwork.
Starting over again. More medical bills and need new referrals. :(

cool ass tips for cool ass people that've been energy zapped by god
tbh, some of these I got from friends, and some of these are trial and error.
BABY WIPES IN UR ROOM (u deserve to feel clean, I use 'em to sponge bath. Have them easily accessible, and maybe in a few spots. wanna level up and be ultra mega cool? Keep some dry shampoo in the same area)
BEDROOM RITZ CRACKERS (trouble sleeping cuz of tummy issues? eat a few crackers. hungry but no energy to walk to the kitchen? crackers. gone so long without food you think your appetite's gone? bedroom crackerssss)
BOX OF GALLON-SIZE PLASTIC BAGS IN ROOM (do you eat in bed and have no energy to do anything else? Got you, babe. Put the whole dish in a plastic bag. Now those lil gnats we got'll die, and I don't have to let a stray roach be my 13th reason.)
PAPER PLATES (this is a well-known one, but its a savior)
BEAN BURGERS (I'm vegetarian, so I guess you could find something similar if you're not. I find myself eating a lot of cereal or buttered instant pasta, and it doesn't really fill me up, but it's so much energy to cook a whole meal with a protein and a veggie and whatever. Solution? Bean burgers, baby, pop a few in a toaster oven for a few minutes, and eat it straight up with ketchup, woo.)
SHOWER BOWL (It's so much energy to do laundry, and I'm honestly nearing a nudist era. I keep a big (NONBREAKABLE) bowl in the tub, and when I go to shower, I toss my undies and whatever else can fit in there with a bit of soap and let it sit while I shower. When I'm done showering, I dump out the soapy water, spray em down with the shower head, squeeze em, and let them dry overnight. Saves my fuckin ass)
LAUNDRY SCENTED PERFUME OR ROOM SPRAY (I put this shit on evErything. If imma look like I went through the wringer, I may as well smell like it lmao)
HAND SOAP IS BALLER FACE WASH ACTUALLY (literally, it works so well, so get all up in there, bud. disclaimer, it does make you feel like you're in one of those oil spill dish soap commercials, though, so maybe add lotion if you can; I just use body lotion when I'm not feeling like opening cabinets, fine if you don't.)
anyways, I hope that helps someone.
Remember, nothing is weird if it helps you!

Doctors be like “before we refill your medication you need to make an appointment” and then I show up to the appointment and it’s just
“Does it hurt?”
“Yes, literally all the time.”
“Cool here’s your drugs, see you in three months.”

Starting to realise that my "resting bitch face" is just my pain visibly showing to other people when I'm distracted, they're always like, gurl are you ok? You look like your gonna kill someone!?
My fav so far is "you look very concerned"

Next chapter of 'Shadow of a Bat' is rewritten! Letting it sit for a few days really helped. I'm much happier with the start and I added about 1K that helped flesh out the state of things a lot more.
It's a bit of a slower chapter- more of a transition of where we left it in 2 and getting us to the finale in 4- but I think it works for what it needs to be.
I need to do a re-read pass and then I'll toss it over to my darling beta Moku before it goes up on ao3!
I hope chapter 4 will come quicker- I've a much clearer idea of what that needs to be. And the there may be a little epilogue, though that may just end up in chapter 4 too depending on how long it gets. I'll prob not post 4 until it's done also so I can combine if needed!
