I want to talk more about gender identity, sexual orientation, and dating. And labels. Maybe. It’s been at the forefront of my mind for several reasons. I mentioned in the last post a few times when it was helpful to have labels (mostly with health issues), and I am not going to muse whether or… Continue Reading
This is part two about when labels are actually helpful and necessary. Here is my post from yesterday in which I was musing about the times when a label actually helped rather than hurt (or just annoyed me). In general, it’s in the medical field when I find useful. If there’s something wrong with my… Continue Reading
I’ve made it pretty well known that I do not like labels for the most part. I find them restrictive, reductive, and sometimes, misleading. However, there is one time when I find labels useful. That’s when it comes to health, physical and mental. Let me explain. When I was in my twenties, I had what… Continue Reading
It’s 82F right now. I had to run to the pharmacy to pick up a med, and it was hot. H-O-T, I say. It seems we’ve skipped spring altogether and went straight to summer. Except, we have a low of 41F for Tuesday, so winter may not be done with us yet. That is the… Continue Reading
I’m back with the daily weather report. It’s 50F right now, but got up to the sixties earlier. Here is my post from yesterday in which I talked about whatever was on my mind. We’re supposed to get up to 78F tomorrow. I have a private lesson, which we might actually be able to do… Continue Reading
Am I continuing my weather reporting? I sure as hell am. Here is my post from yesterday in which I just meandered over the whole place. Why? Because I can, but also because it’s been so fascinating to me. We got down to 44F last night, which is cold for this time of the year–but… Continue Reading
I am back with another weather report. It’s going to fascinate me until the threat of a frost has passed. At the rate we’re going, it won’t be until winter comes–and then it won’t be at all. it’s currently 44F, and this is the lowest it’s supposed to get in the next week or ten… Continue Reading
I’m back with the daily weather report (only because it’s been so wild lately). Last night, we hit freezing for a hot minute. Now, it’s a toasty 57 degrees, and it seems like we’re finally having spring. We’re actually supposed to hit 81 a week from Saturday. While I personally would be happy if we never went… Continue Reading
I’ve been fascinated with the weather in the last week or so (well, all “spring” really, and spring is in quotes because it’s been anything but) because it’s as if winter is just refusing to leave. We Minnesotans are used to variant weather in March and April, but things are usually pretty settled by May.… Continue Reading
It’s 32 degrees right now, and we have a frost advisory. A FROST ADVISORY! It’s May 6th. For fuck’s sake. And, yes, I said this yesterday as well, but it was 40 ‘feels like’ 39 at the time. Now it’s 32. This is right in my wheelhouse, but as I’ve mentioned before, my body is… Continue Reading
