The Weirds. in These Foolish Things

Hi. I don’t have a ton to say after talking, talking, talking with so many people after I threw it all out there on the socials.

I will tell you the following:

• I talked with my PCP again this morning. I still haven’t talked with the surgeon, so I will be calling their offices tomorrow (Friday…surgery is on MONDAY) to see what the deal is. But my PCP reiterated the findings from my CT scan - which can’t tell everything that’s going on, but he said that it’s good news that the thing wasn’t lit up like a Christmas tree. So there’s that…

• I worked from home today. I remembered why I don’t like working from home. I did about 200 laps around my apartment just trying to walk off the stress and I just don’t like my computer station set-up.

• I had a great zoom with my college girls last night. It felt like happy hour and I’m so glad we talked. It’s always “a lot” when we all get together (as in, several LARGE personalities), but it was exactly what I needed last night.

• NORT has offered to take a road trip to Colorado to get me some medical marijuana (my state not legal yet). I suppose this is his new woo-ing tactic? I hadn’t heard from him in weeks. He told me he needed to get over his “Covid Brain” …which I think he still has

• I finally talked to the match.com guy on the phone. We’d been missing each other for DAYS and he is clearly not a texter so he calls me at random times when I can’t talk and every time I return his calls, he doesn’t answer so…not sure what to think about that. But I have many other things to think about. Regardless, he was super open to talking about my stuff and surgery and all of that. He’s a fast-talker, so I’m not super sure about him??? Time will tell.

• A dude I hadn’t talked to for literal YEARS because he had some kind of issue with a photo I posted when I was recovering from my carotid artery injury called me today. Last time I had medical issues he introduced me to the Insight Timer app and was really helpful with being mindful and working through my mental state. Anyway, I was thinking he might have a nibble or two of wisdom to share. Nope. He was a total passive-aggressive shithead, so I had to get off the phone quickly and block his ass. Such bad juju from that guy. Weird. And kind of threw me. But I’m over it now.

Honestly, all-in-all it was a good-ish day. I’m still scared and I’m still confused, but I didn’t let it consume me 100%. It actually only consumed me 95%, so there’s that.

Tired now,
GS
