Have to stay upright for an hour after taking the acid reflux medication. Which normally would be just slightly annoying this early in the morning. But I still feel sedation. So I'm fighting that urge to lie down.

I think that to fall asleep at my local ER, I would have to be in a specific room in order to not hear the sounds of the place. Or at least muffle them somewhat.

Barely slept at all and that damn sun is coming for me. Hopefully I'll nap today.

I swear it looks like a harvest full moon tonight. But the color is just playing tricks on me. Back home finally. Doctor told me to rest and that my body would sleep when it's ready. And to basically do nothing until then.

Shaking attributed to adrenaline! Thank goodness.

Going home. Received instructions. Will not be able to go back to sleep most likely and was instructed to do nothing lol. I will not listen. Probably. I don't know.

The ER has nice toilet paper??? What universe am I in right now?

Heating up in the ER, which makes no damn sense.

Blood pressure through the roof. High anxiety. Smh wtf.

I'm in the ER. Took the sleeping pill. Breathing slowed and I started uncontrollably shaking. Still shaking a little bit. Breathing is meh.

I can't access the surgery notes from the sterilization. 😭

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

What the what? They Narcan you to wake you up after surgery? Pfffffffft.

If you're ever bored, try reading your medical records if you're medically complex like me. Stent surgery notes were fascinating, at least the little I understood. Do I want to know about the bilateral salpingectomy? I should be stopped. Curiosity killed the cat, after all.

Been processing a lot of trauma lately. It's been rough.

72 F in the house is actually a little chilly, interesting. I might turn this bish up lol.

When was the last time that BET actually promoted the BET awards? Because I was surprised that they had gone on.

It's so cool in my room right now, and it's not even fully cooled. This is weird.

The detainment of a senator... Previously, at least in my lifetime, this was something I only saw in other countries. Instability comes to us all.

BRING BACK AFFORDABLE!

🗣️ NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL RACISM

Fuck

There's central air in my room!!!! OMG this day was worth it. Still fucking exhausted from the sun.

Omg. I finally ordered food. I've been waiting all day to eat. And the Dr Pepper is my reward for getting through this day. Hell, through this week.

The power and water are now back on. The central air system is still not online. I feel so drained from being in the sun all day. I guess I didn't hydrate enough outside.

I GOT MY SLEEPING PILL!!!!!! This took at least a month. I'm so fucking excited!!!

I know I'm irritated AF from today because I can't even be bothered to take my entire purse to run to the pharmacy

The acid reflux medication got here today! It's too late to take it right now though, even though I don't plan on eating until they turn the utilities back on. I'll start tomorrow.

JFC it's warming up in here. It's not even close to the highest temperature for today. Fuck me.

I hope I'll learn what the hold-up is with the pre-auth for the sleeping pill at this appointment. It's been many weeks since I was supposed to get it.

Groggily waking up with coffee. Black. Need to be awake for telehealths.

I'm having 3 struggle days in a row. This should be not allowed.

Another helpful thing I've started doing: writing down talking points before therapy sessions. I should really do this as the issues happen during the time between sessions.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Another factor in the utilities being shut off today is that it's the hottest day of the week. My room gets a lot of sun, so I'm pretty much screwed. I'll be sweating all day. Looking forward to that shower tonight.
