Dang, I'm so emotional right now. Someone IRL gets me. With my new rockstar GI doctor, she had ordered two imaging to be done. I waited what I thought was an appropriate amount to schedule with Imaging, and then have done several follow ups. But I realized I was being "too much" and apologized to their front desk. I said I was scared for the reason for the one imaging, and get in my head and try to do *something* to move it along. But I would do my best to be more zen to not push...

Now that I'm using Si units instead of imperial units, I wanted to do the right thing for non-whole numbers, especially for distance in kilometers. I am guessing decimals are used to be more multi language-friendly, but wanted to confirm fractions are an imperial unit convention. #SiUnits #Metric

Three good things: -> After watching the film We Are Pat yesterday on Kanopy (thank you local library!), I've arrived at further levels of understanding the breadth of my agenderness. It's more profound than even I expected, and I'd been building up to certain aspects for decades more subconsciously than I realized. This is a very good thing! 😊 -> I thought we were losing one direction of bus service by my home with an upcoming service change. Very gratefully, that is not th...

Three good things: -> I am trying my best to not be as intense a person, especially here in the Fediverse. Don't want to drive people away. Not easy, but I *am* trying. -> Recently gave my kitty Belle her regular pedicure. She almost enjoys them, even though she's upside down in the V of my lap. -> I meet with my new GP/PCP this week, which I'm very hopeful will be a solid relationship. Also meeting with a new GI surgeon who will maintain my gastric stimulator for my gast...

Three good things: -> Worked out complicated interconnections between optometry, ophthalmology, and dry eye care related to my Sjogren's disease and general eye care. Lots of confusion all around on this, so I'm glad to have a good roadmap now. -> I finished watching the very cool iTV/britbox series Code of Silence featuring a Deaf actor solving a crime. Hope it continues for additional seasons! -> The new commercial construction outside my apartment is now nearly done for th...

This is Acacia (pronounced A-ka-sha). She was a good kitty, but was only in my life for a few months. She had a fascination that was dangerous to her and potentially to our home: she loved to chew on wires of all sorts, including speaker wires and electrical cords. I tried everything I could think of: hiding them, putting safe bitters on them, even wrapping them in aluminum foil. On the last day, when I walked along the road, bringing her back to the shelter in her carrier, it nearly broke my...

Three good things: -> Very happy to be on my new instance, and for the kindness of so many people in taking a look at my new instance intro. It was nice to be able to clearly state my core values and principles. -> Had a nice text chat with my auntie in Arizona. She and my sister are the only family I am really in contact with, and they both understand me with kindness. -> It's much cooler here: 33C/91F, and will stay at similar temperatures through Saturday before ramping back u...

Hi there! I'm Alex. New instance, new introduction. I'm new to sunny.garden, but have been on several instances prior since I entered the Fediverse around 2023. My identities are very important, but much more so is living life according to my core values and principles. You'll find I tend to post and reply very frequently per day overlapping with timezones across the world on many topics, with rare boosts but lots of favoriting! Pleased to meet y'all! 😀 Core values and princ...
