cornerofmadnessI wish it was a tad happier on my end of the world.
But before that happy birthday toliminal_space
At 10 pm I remembered I didn't get my blood test for today's endocrinology exam. Sigh. No problem. I'm going to Point Pleasant/Gallipolis I'll do it before my appointment but first laundry.
And the lock to the laundry is fucking broken. AGAIN. I don't have time for this so fine, we'll go to the laundromat in Gallipolis after I get my blood drawn (if I didn't have to do this, I would have found the groundskeeper to get the laundry opened) I have two choices. Speed Queen where I might get knifed and Duke's on the mansion side of town. Guess which one I picked.
Everyone did. I had to park down the street and roll my laundry basket down there...and it's 5.50 for a wash. OMFG (my apartment one is 1.75) It has a credit card device too but if I tap it's another 5% on that. Fuck you. I will jam in the quarters and you can choke on them. 20$ to wash/dry my clothes (some I brought back. I'll wash them later this week because I was NOT getting a third washer).
Down from Duke's across the street it the library (just like in Jackson, library/laundry share a lot there). I hang in there because there's three frakking chairs in the laundry.
I go to Point Pleasant but not as planned. I had no time to go to the antique mall. I do go for coffee (It's almost always bad at this place but it's their only place) I WAS supposed to be looking at literally the perfect house for me including chair lift and green house but it sold in less than 2 weeks. sigh. Hell I couldn't even get there by then. I didn't really want to live there anyhow but it was truly perfect for me. ah well.
I go to see my endocrinologist. the blood work is in. Everything is fine except my HGA1C is up to nearly 9 so NOT my imagination that my diabetes is getting worse. I told her about how mountjaro didn't play well with my gastric paresis so we're trying ryseblus (that is so badly spelt wrong) which is basically ozempic BUT it's a pill so it's very low dose. We know that GLP1s don't play well with me but this way instead of a weekly dose I have to ride out, this is just for a day and that will be better if it does make me sick. It's tricky to store and take though. We shall see.
She clarified the thyroid scan and it's what I thought (still haven't heard from the surgeon's people, almost 2 weeks later) two of them are TR1 which is basically benign, no worries. They're both cysts and cysts are almost always benign. the one in the middle is tr4 which is moderately suspicious for cancer. The good news is it's only about a quarter of them that are cancer usually if they're hypoechoic and taller than they are wide. Mine is hypoechoic but wider than it is tall with calcifications which is also a cancer sign.
Probably needs biopsied but I am having SO much compressive issues that I do want this removed (or more studies if we don't think this is the problem). So now I'm in Schroedinger's box, is it or isn't it cancer? I'm not too worried if I'm honest and I'm going to force that appointment tomorrow. I might not be worried but I'm not pissing about with this either.
I hit Walmart for something (didn't have it but did have a pizza pan for cheap, like less than that wash machine cheap which seemed better than me trying to disinfect the one the mouse touched). Here's me with Rao's pizza sauce (cheap here for some reason), dough and now a pizza pan, what's for dinner?
Mexican as it turned out.
tonight was my author meet up on zoom and I got a lot written. I was feeling on the outside though for some reason.
And hey it's music monday and since we finished the alphabet I need something new. So let's do music that inspires you. As I keep saying![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
lyricaltitles is running their bingo and that got me thinking. For the next month or so, let's do one song that inspires us to draw or write. If you're not a creative, share one song that's making you happy right now.
But before I do that, let me break my own rule and share 2. The first one I found viabrithistorian (and then YT itself recced it to me two days later). It's really cool. give it a listen
And my song of inspiration is the one inspiring the latest chapter in mywipbigbang The Owl House story. Hunter is finally coming undone now that he knows his secret is out and he has to face the Bat Queen.

Yay for getting a lot written.
