Hi. In a lot of pain just to write this but I'd rather put this out there, it's important. Followup to my previuos two posts. I dared to hope that I would be out of my current bad situation soon. I hoped I could be helped by the spine specialist I was referred to. That my pinched arm nerves could be released and I could resume normal functioning. I was only able to write that post because I had aweek's supply of steroids keeping me going. The doctor who referred me told me it'll keep me stable until my appointment. Know what I just found out yesterday? The referral was never fucking sent. I wasted my entire week's supply of the only help I had, waiting for a bunch of inconsiderate, lazy jackasses in a cushy office to actually do their job, which they delayed for over a week. I only found out because I called insurance themselves who had never even received a referral and had no idea what I was talking about. I was furious. I immediately called my primary care office and asked that they

Wow. It's been a while since I was able to even see my site or blog, let alone write in it. The tech issues I mentioned last time have only continued. Tech So I had ordered a few items to upgrade the server box - new SSD, new CPU cooler, PCIe ethernet card. The first one doesn't seem to show up in lsblk. The second one was incompatible with the motherboard. And the last one needed drivers which thankfully I was able to get in the end.But because I had to stay with the current CPU cooler, I had tried to take it out and put it back in, and... the end result wasn't great. One of the pegs holding it in completely broke off and refused to reattach. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to sit right. I ended up having to ship my PC off to a repair person who thankfully lives close by.After a few days of troubleshooting back and forth, and waiting on an order, he installed a new CPU cooler, a Cooler Master, and some new thermal paste. He managed to deduce by running Linux Mint off a flash d

So as I'm writing this, London left for home two days ago. Having him over was a blast, honestly one of the best IRL meetups I can say I've ever had. Even though it was just a week, every day felt so lovely, so cozy, so nice... Some highlights include: He brought me some adorable gifts, like a little kitty cat handbag, and a friendship bracelet with a cat and a dog (that's us!) London meeting Jojo, my family's dog (I should probably mention London is a dogboy, this will come up later) Getting to see his CD copies of the Mailpup and Fanservice albums Just lounging around with him all day, honestly we could be doing nothing and I'd still enjoy every second A voice call on discord with us in the same room Going out on walks, especially to the site of a local pond/lake with some benches to cuddle on Speaking of, the cuddles. London is SUCH a big cuddly thing. He's incredibly soft and loved on me so much. Him warming me up with his radiant body heat, me cooling him down with my perpetually
