At work, I'm the human version of Grammarly. At home, I'm a writer, photographer and gamer.

It terms of games, I spend most of my time playing online with friends (currently Overwatch 2 and WoW), but I also like single-player games when one catches my interest. I'm on PC, Xbox and Nintendo.

Asexual and demiromantic (or antidemocratic, according to spell check shrug)

It’s snowing. It’s May tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this — at least it’s fun 😆

Also, I’m ok, I survived.

I realised I hadn't used it in forever and thought it was the perfect moment to bring it back, glad it's magic powers worked once again!

Going to be a bit quiet here for a few days … I’ve got a surgical procedure in the morning and will have lots of doctor follow up appts to manage.

Good vibes are always appreciated. Imma come back from this stronger, no doubt! I never give up hope 💙💙

I have a life announcement! 📣

I’m going back to University! ( At 37! )

The program is self paced, online and all of my accessibility accommodations have been approved!

I’m excited to be able to take asynchronous courses in a supportive environment.

Day 1 is May 1st!
I’m studying Psychology & Philosophy.

I plan to attend Graduate School afterwards and become a Registered Psychologist in Alberta so I can do Autism assessments (and more), and provide a safe place for folks. 🏳️‍🌈

The only doctor that treats in western Canada has declined my referral, which was at the request of a cardiologist I waited to see for 5 months.

I can’t even with this country. I hate this medical system. I hate it. All of it. I’m so tired of having to be my own doctor/case manager. For f*cks sake.

I have a diagnosis, and I’m on a medication for treatment but was told to be followed by a specialist after I moved here 9 months ago.

How is this at all ethical?

intentional run on sentence ahead for dramatic effect/sarcastic frustration

Ever had a reaction to a medication so bad that it put you directly on your ass for a solid week and you still don’t feel okay but you have to start an alternate immune suppressant medication soon to hopefully stop your body from attacking itself?

Yeah, that’s how it’s going.
That’s why I’m not replying to DMs/Messages.

I’m f*cking shattered right now.

I’ve tried reading 4 of Neil Gaiman’s books and I haven’t been able to finish them.

To be fair, I rarely finish fiction and I’ve been trying to read more for years.

I feel like something is wrong with me because I want to read his books (and others), they sound interesting to me but… I just can’t focus.

Non-fiction? I can read just about anything.

Brains are weird.

(p.s. Yes, I’ve tried audiobooks )

cheekanzoop,
@cheekanzoop@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Because I loved the film so much, I tried reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman and I couldn't get into it at all because of his writing style. Stuff has to be written in a pretty straightforward way or it doesn't jive with my brain.

Just finished Lost in Space (2018) and it's some of the best TV I've watched in a while, thoroughly enjoyed it!

cheekanzoop,

@craftykraken Yeah, the pilot episode had me hooked, and I don't really get that much these days.

Many of you may know that I have a very dear to me (nearly) 18 year old cat.

She’s got some medical issues at her age but we do everything we can to keep her happy.

It appears that her diabetes is suddenly unmanageable… which scares me a bit if I’m honest. The only times this has ever happened in the past was after a surgery/anesthesia and an infection.

We’re taking her to be seen by our new vet on Saturday. I really really hope they’ll be able to help.

Pls send happy vibes.

I was right not to assume that the rain would stop the fireworks. Instead of being rudely woken up, I'm watching Jane Eyre (2006) and getting kitty cuddles.

@britt Thanks ☺️ still got about an hour or so before I can go to bed because they'll go crazy at midnight. It just happens on and off all evening.

A body temperature of 36.7C would be cool for the average person but I'm like sweats

cheekanzoop,
@cheekanzoop@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Someday I'm going to be like "I'm burning up!" and the medical professional will be like "at 37.2C???" xD My normal is around 36.2C these days. Usually when I get sick I feel colder but whatever this bug is is making me feel warm.

cheekanzoop,
@cheekanzoop@mstdn.games avatar

I'm sorry you have to deal with funky temp stuff too, it's no fun :(

So, I now also have Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I’m um… I’m 36 years old.

Yes, this isn’t great.
Yes, I’m taking it okay.

I finally have a diagnosis because I finally found a competent and compassionate family doctor.

Today he called me an intellectual and I was super flattered. :cat_thx: We’re going to tackle this (and all my other issues) together.

Moral of the story: Never give up. Advocate for yourself. For as long as it takes. :ablobcatattention:

TW: discussion

I had more medical tests and bloodwork done yesterday and things are (shocker) still abnormal.

I’ve been struggling with all that comes with since last summer. Yet I’m not much closer to understand when or if I’ll ever get better. I’m in a flare up.

In 3 days I’ve gone from “I think I’ll be ok, this won’t last long?” to mostly bed bound —- again. Whiplash, over and over.

Send pet photos or game recommendations pls. 💜

We found a great family doctor!!!

Basically, we have struck gold.

I’m so happy we moved. My medical care is 10 fold better and I’m so grateful.
