Bitten By A Snake

Today I checked out W3Schools, a website that helps people learn how to code. The language that caught my interest was Python. It’s really interesting—it even looks a bit similar to HTML, and you can use it alongside HTML. It feels like instead of just learning one thing, like HTML, you’re opening the door to learning a lot more. I’m excited to keep going.

Another Bad Day

Today was another bad day. I was doing the dishes when my back practically groaned, stop. I pushed through and finished the kitchen, but not without noticing every protest along the way. After that, I slowed things down, taking a break at my desk and spending the rest of the afternoon on my tablet and computer.

Later, I remembered Susie’s litter box still needed to be scooped, so I took care of that too. Jackie took the garbage downstairs, the remains of the litter box in tow, and was back within minutes. By then, I decided we both deserved something warm, so I made us hot chocolate.

Still Sore

I’ll probably be talking to my doctors about the neck pain soon. Some days are better than others, but I’m doing my best to keep pushing forward. The important thing is that I’m still working, staying on top of everything, and making sure Jackie is taken care of.

In other, happier news, our cat Susie just celebrated her first year with us! She’s fully settled into her home now, and it’s been great watching her grow comfortable here. We even got her a new tower, which we plan to move into the bedroom once it warms up so she can sit by the window and keep an eye on her “minions.” 

Getting Worse?

Today hasn’t been going well for me. I’ve been dealing with a lot of shaking, and I’m not sure why. I may need to switch to decaf to see if that helps, or possibly stop drinking coffee altogether. I’m going to follow up with my doctor to see what they recommend.

On a more positive note, I’ve been learning how to use Notion, and I’m finding it really interesting so far. With 30,000+ templates and a lot more flexibility than Google Keep, I think I’ve found my new go-to note-taking app. I’m going to keep using it and see where it takes me.

Need A New Battery

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I need a whole new battery—I’ve had almost no energy, and it’s been tough to figure out why. I’m not sure if it’s related to my medical issues or if I’ve picked up some kind of bug, but either way, it’s been slowing me down.

I do have a doctor’s appointment coming up soon, so I’ll be able to talk through everything and hopefully get some answers. Until then, I’m taking things one step at a time and trying not to push myself too hard. The last thing I want is to risk my surgery date on June 4th.

And yes—my breast augmentation is finally happening. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, and it feels surreal to say it out loud.

Even better news: when the time comes for my bottom surgery, it’s going to be covered. That’s a huge weight off my shoulders, and honestly, I can’t wait. It feels like I’m finally moving forward—like I’m on the right path, becoming more and more myself.
