It’s hot

It has been hot and muggy the past week. I’ve been tolerating it but I am starting to lose my patience with it. I need to clear the area where my AC is so my bro in law can put it in. I sort of made a mess of it when I was cleaning my hamper out. I got to decide what I am going to do with the clothes. They aren’t particularly my favorite. And the sweatpants elastic is basically gone. Doesn’t fit me anymore.

I had therapy yesterday reluctantly as I needed to get a letter from her. She was being a bitch the whole session. I hate it when she doesn’t allow me to change subjects or just shut down on something. We talked about my mother and school and transitioning. I told her she could write the letter saying how I was depressed because I was transgender and wasn’t transitioned but now that I am transitioned I feel better. She then asked how do I explain the major depressive episode last fall. Ugh. I really can’t. Late Aug/early Sept I always suffer from depression. Been that way for nearly 30 years. Sometimes I get really suicidal. I didn’t tell her this. I felt like if I did, I wouldn’t have the letter.

After therapy, I went to get some lunch and my haircut. Talking to my barber made me depressed. I was feeling so low afterwards. I went home after and then I went to PT. My foot was hurting because I had been on my feet all day. We decided not to do the machine and just worked with a ball. She then worked on my foot tendons. My foot was hurting still today but less so.

Today is my nephew’s birthday so we went out to eat. I ate too much. I slept nearly all day. I didn’t do anything I wanted to do. I just couldn’t get out of bed. I had a hard time sleeping because my foot and ankle flared up. I hurt so bad. I was up until like 130 and then woke up every couple of hours during the night. Didn’t help that it was so fricken hot in my room. I really need to clear the space so my bro in law can put the AC in.

Spirituality #WPD

How important is spirituality in your life?

Have to say that it isn’t important for me in my life right now. It used to be and I sometimes long for it to be a part of my life again but finding a church that is open to my being trans is hard work and I don’t think I have the time to find one near me.

I color and listen to my favorite music.

Drinking a lot of water today

The temps are high and it is muggy. I hate summer so much. It is only a few days into the season and I am melting today. I had two cups of hot coffee as I didn’t want to make it iced. I checked media until I finished my second cup and then retreated to my room to listen to the ballgame. My Sox are losing right now. I had to stop listening because the announcer was pissing me off. UGH

I sent an email reply to my advisor as I need to come up with a plan to get on track with my degree. I think I am in academic probation as I can’t get financial aid. I dropped a class as I think I am going to be taking just one class if I don’t get aid. I am meeting with her tomorrow. I told her my name has changed and added my pronouns to my signature on both my university email and personal. I wanted to do the appeal today but I need a plan from my advisor in order to complete it.

I woke up around 0400. I had to pee and I was awake. It was so hard trying to get back to sleep that I don’t think I did till after 1000. I should have just gotten up but I was so hot I didn’t want to. My right foot was hurting me so I took a pain med. Now, around twelve hours later, my left CRPS foot is flaring up. Just a bunch of nerve pain. Hate when it starts before 1800 as I usually am in pain the rest of the night. Thunderstorms just started so that is probably why. I hope it cools down some. I need to clear my AC so my brother in law can put it in the window. I have clutter the space while clearing another area of my room. I have no idea where to put the things that are blocking it. I wish I had another wardrobe to put my clothes in. I really need one but that requires decluttering more space.

I haven’t let my therapist know I am not going in the hospital tomorrow. I really don’t want to talk to her this week. I don’t know how successful I will be in not talking to her. I have an appointment with her Tues but I am not going to keep it. I just don’t feel like having therapy this week.

I am tired. I have been up for a few hours. I know I am bored. I should clear my bed so I can change the bedding. For the most part, I have kept up with putting my recycle in a bag rather than have it accumulate on my bed. I just have to clear the corner that likes to collect stuff and then my “office” space, which isn’t bad, considering. Just old mail has piled up rather than notebooks. I think most of it can be recycled. I don’t think I need to keep any of it.
