Goin' Along
Aug. 11th, 2018 12:40 pmI haven't been at my most functional for the last couple of days, as my stomach has been fussy, probably related to getting my period combined with the fussy new psychologist drama. I told her yesterday that I don't think I can work with her (in the nicest way possible). I have contacted a friend here who is a psychologist to get recommendations. I also will start contacting psychologists in Florida on Monday (since Florida doesn't care where the patient lives). The positive side of this is that I read two books while sitting in bed trying to keep my stomach calm. Zoo Station was quite good. After reading it, I resolved that if we ever need to flee, we will do it in a timely manner. I have no desire to see how bad things can get. Of course, while people throw around the term "privileged" like a bitchy insult in the US, it is painfully obvious to me that having an American passport is a privilege above many others, plus I'm white. I'm glad to have the benefits of these privileges, although I am sad that others don't.
So far, I seem to be okay on the DHEA. Normally, it takes a while for the side effects to become obvious, and I expect that my dosage requirements will change too. However, I seem mostly okay. I was able to go to tai chi yesterday and haven't had too much anxiety, despite/ignoring the stomach problems. I'm taking about 4mg.
In less important news, I upgraded my wiki and set up better security for it. As with all my web stuff, there is nothing of any value to anyone else on the wiki. However, it was one of my few remaining crappy passwords. My password manager will be much happier now.
I'm hoping that I can make progress on the podcast today, as I haven't felt much like working on it. I'm also hoping to do the prologue of one of my upcoming fiction/fanfic series in verse, which I'm not good at. So, I'd like to finish gathering the facts that need to go into the prologue, so that I can get to the really painful part.
I'm avoiding dealing with the tooth that I had fixed in Malaysia. I have a cleaning regime that keeps it from tasting or smelling like it is rotting, which is okay, but really I should have the dentist look at it. Also, it needs to be ground down in places, I think. I hate dealing with things, especially things that involve someone sticking things in my mouth.
Hopefully, we'll be going for a walk outside of town on Tuesday, if the weather is good. There is so much to see. If only I felt better.
