more and more and more

• PartnerBeast and I are calling in the cavalry on the issues previously discussed. Our relationship as a whole is as strong as ever, though! No more details on public channels.
  
• I did see my mom before she left and shrug whatever. My sister did not say much and did not ask about her stuff in my apartment.
  
• I marched in Queens Pride with my girlfriend and that was WONDERFUL. Jackson Heights is great, my borough is great, Pride as a concept is a mixed bag but this milestone was important to me. I got palm cards made advertising our support group and handed them out to people who seemed excited to see us. I did not spot my sister in the crowd despite her posting pictures on Instagram watching the parade. I also briefly passed by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, but left before getting any time to interact with her directly.
  
• I got through a bunch of health stuff last week including my PCP going "yeah, the issues you're having are pretty clearly stress-induced", which, woof. I'm trying to get back into some health habits I'd dropped in the last few months - vitamins and omega-3s, a weekly yoga class I'd been skipping, taking fewer shortcuts and walking instead of just standing on escalators. Thanks goes to coraline for getting me a trial of Noom literally today; we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping for accountability on food choices I make and to drop some weight - not to perfect BMI, but at least to making it easier to find clothes regardless of gender presentation of the moment.
  
• I hit one milestone in the work project for X/Y I mentioned before. It is a deeply imperfect thing, this thing I am building, and it's hard to feel like I'm making progress professionally but I know I am. I am still not perfectly un-burnt-out but I think it's better than it was and that's something.
  
• I have been very successful at sticking to the Tagalog study I've been doing, which is nice. I really need more practice actually crafting and making sense of full sentences, instead of just vocabulary. The prefix-heavy verb work is really damn foreign to me, but I'm getting there.
  
• Recently played Spirit of '77, which was pretty fun; also CyberPunk, which I keep hoping to go better than it does, but that might just be the particulars of my group. I've finally backed Vincent Baker on Patreon for future running of Under Hollow Hills and printed a fresh copy of Lady Blackbird as well.
