47 year old trans woman (she/her). Started HRT as of 8/8/25!

I'm into anime, comics, manga, movies, music (looove TMBG), video games (Sorry just PC, I haven't had a console since the 360), and... stuff!
Holy heck, just won the Kikuka Sho with Super Creek. Who was ranked as 5th favorite going into the race.

I have no idea what on earth I'm doing in this game, I didn't buff anything before starting this career mode, I just plopped things in, but it seems to be working? XD

I chose Super Creek as my first Umasume completely at random, and accidentally got just the voice actress and attitude I wanted. XD

Just won the Make Debut race with her. I might even play more. XD

If it wasn't for the combination of my fear of death and not wanting to make my friends sad and/or angry, I honestly think I would've checked out of this sorry, pain-filled excuse for a life ages ago.

Treasure your friends. You may mean more to them than you think.

Woke up really early, tried to ignore my migraine to trick it into going away, it just got worse.took a sumatriptan.

And Dad wants me to help him work on agrill today and my sister wants me to help her hang pictures in her room.

Going to lay here and either throw up or fall asleep.

Okay, the call with Meridian (my insurance) took an hour, but good lord was it super helpful.

They're going to hook me up with a company that will get me disability payments.

Sending me a list of nearby covered therapists.

Working with me on finding affordable housing.

And more.

At no cost.

Insurance is going to be calling me at around 9 AM to do what they refer to as an "annual health evaluation." Over the phone. For roughly half an hour.

This is gonna be all sorts of fun, I can tell. *sighs*

Every time I think the Baker's Cyst behind my left knee is getting better, I have to use the left leg for an extended period of time.

And it gets worse.

Even my physical therapist thinks my body was assembled incorrectly. x_x

There ya go, @mendedpearl.bsky.social ! You get your massive-deck all-angel win. XD

(Also, I've started just using my pet rock as the companion for matches. He has googly eyes. ^_^ )

Arena seems intent on mana-screwing me, even with a full 40% of mana. It's like it's determined to put all these high-rarity cards into my hand instead of anything useful, like mana to cast them. >_<
November 13, 2025 at 9:39 PM
I made a 250-card deck in Arena containing every Angel in my collection. There is barely any land.

WHAT HATH SCIENCE WROUGHT XD

(If this deck wins even ONE game, I'm going to be incredibly surprised. XD )

PT done. One hip better, one hip worse, back unchanged.

And there's nowhere else to shuffle me off to at this point.

I'm so tired.

Last day of Physical Therapy that insurance will pay for before the final evaluation, and for the life of me I can't see much of an improvement when standing.

I'd probably get relief if I was able to take arthritis drugs, but I can't take any NSAIDs because of my stupid kidneys.

I'm doing everything I can to distract myself from the fact that it's Mom's birthday today.

She would've been 78.

...fecking cancer.

Me: *makes deck on Arena to try out a particular idea*

Deck: *absolutely does not ever draw the cards for the idea I wanted to do, but obliterates opposing decks with sheer randomness*

Me: "...huh. Why does this keep happening?"

No, seriously, this is like the 3rd time. o_o
November 12, 2025 at 3:20 PM
YES. THANK YOU ARENA.

Better late than never. XD

Another day of physical therapy complete. I feel like I've been kicked in the crotch multiple times. x_x

Also, everyone else is walking around in big coats and sweaters.... Me?

Short sleeve polo shirt and shorts. XD

I mean, it's only 39° (3.8° C) out! That's not even freezing! XD

Well, time to head out to physical therapy.

Yay. More torture.

Found a trans-friendly salon in one of the towns that's ten miles from me. This is good.

The prices are... ow. Big ow. I-cannot-afford-a-basic-haircut-there ow. This is bad.

I was going to ask if they had ideas on how I could appease Dad with a haircut but keep length, but if I can't afford it...

Instagram keeps feeding me motivational reels and they're making me feel MORE depressed. x_x

So...

Skyrim's Anniversary Edition made actual updates to the graphics and functionality of the game, and integrated mods that were useful and interesting.

Fallout 4's Anniversary Edition is just re-releasing the GOTY version with $20 worth of access to Creator Club mods that don't work tacked on.

Well, now they've filled the spiro, but I don't know if I can get in there today to pick it up.

Guess I'm missing a day of spiro.

Not like my t is particularly high in the first place; I doubt it's gonna make a sudden surge.
November 10, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Internet is down once again. This started happening last night, and I suspect the 22mph winds here flapping the hanging coax cables around as they dangle from pole to pole may have something to do with it.

At the very least it isn't helping.
