stormdogRandom bits.
I'm starting to think the white spot that looked like a sore below my teeth is actually a bit of exposed bone. I can still see the incision in my gums too. I'm still mostly eating on the opposite side of my mouth to avoid irritating it. It's not painful most of the time, but the area is easily irritated.
I was flying along to work on Monday morning and got a flat tire about five miles in. I walked half a mile east from Ashland and got on the train at the Berwyn Red Line station. I usually get to work around 6:30 to open at 7 but it took me until ten after. It's wonderful having co-workers who don't mind covering here and there and a manager who's really flexible on time. I brought an inner tube and frame pump to work on Tuesday to fix the flat and rode home.
Erik pointed out that with my work shirts, instead of ties (which I find really boring) I could wear necklaces. I love that idea! I was looking at some colorful ones online, then realized that if I get something on a grayscale palette I could wear it with a lot more things. I ordered a gray/white floral necklace to wear at Danae's graduation tomorrow as well as at work. It was going to arrive on Wednesday. Then it was going to arrive on Friday, which frustated me since I didn't know if it would be here on time. Now it's out for delivery. Supposedly. I also bought a chain and metal-scale necklace in pride colors and matching earrings from an Etsy maker. I'm so excited about wearing some interesting earrings!
My therapy appointments have switched from Wednesdays at three to Thursdays at four. Today will be the first time trying to bike to therapy after work, then going directly to my volunteering at the animal shelter from there. I'll get some fast food for dinner somewhere along the way. Also, I brought cute clothes to put on for talking to my therapist and working at the shelter. I want to be me more often!
I have tomorrow off of work to attend Danae's graduation. Her parents are coming from Hamilton, Ontario and my mother will be down from Kenosha, Wisconsin. My dad is busy with school stuff. Her parents might be uncomfortable about me wearing fem stuff, but I'm planning to do it anyway. A doctoral hooding ceremony is an excuse to get dressed up if anything is!
