Am I slowly combining my Unnerving Governess fashion with my classic Cupcake Goth style? Yes. Because it makes me happy.
(I'm still at THREAT LEVEL: BANDOM, tho'.)
- Work is its own whirlwind. Last week I was part of a presentation meeting to the R&D executive team about some suggested changes to how we present content to our customers. It went well, but the execs had waaaaaay more questions about my team's stuff than I had expected. Which means, of course, my impostor syndrome is ridiculously high.
- I bought a tiny plush raccoon. Once it arrives, I'm making a sign to hang around its neck that says "LIAR", then I'm going to hang it between my work monitors. (This idea came about from my last therapy session, much to my therapists approval and amusement.)
I had my second appointment with the pulmonologist to try and figure out why I randomly feel short of breath/air hunger. The final "answer": X-rays show my lungs look great, yay! My breathing tests are normal, yay! Why do I need a rescue inhaler multiple times a week? Who knows! Possibly ME/CFS post-exertion malaise and general fuckery? Oh, probably. Soooooo there's no real solution, except use the inhaler when I need it.
... I guess that means I can stop putting brain power to that, and focus on the various things I'll need to do in order to lessen the risk of breast cancer. Because that'll be fun or something.
Yes, yes, taking care of my stupid mortal shell is vital and necessary, but DAMN is it stressful.
Yesterday's meeting with the oncologist was okay. He was super-nice and gave me a lot of information. The tl;dr version:
Yay? I guess?

Ticketmaster is the devil. By the time I got through the virtual queue to buy MCR tickets, there were NO ADA seats showing. I bought tickets anyway, stayed on hold with Ticketmaster forever, and learned that there isn't anything they can do right now. A ticket has been opened with the Tier 2 support folks, and now it's a case of wait and see if any ADA options become available or they can do something.
I may end up buying a second set of $280+ tickets and selling the ones I originally bought. I dunno. I HATE TICKETMASTER.
(There were no options for getting ADA seats for either L.A. or SF, and the remaining tickets were $300+, arrrrgggh.)
