I've been busy this past year and so haven't had much time for really anything beyond work and attempted sleep.

For those who may care I have been able to buy my own home. Which is honestly not a thing I ever thought I would possibly be able to do in my lifetime.
I also tried to start hormone therapy but was told that because of my families history of cancer that I should do genetic testing first.

I'm glad I did.

I found out that I have an almost 50% chance of getting breast cancer in my lifetime. While I do my best to not think of how badly that could've gone had I not done the testing, it did work in my favour.

In the beginning of December I will be having a double mastectomy done and will be basically bound to my room (mostly bc of animals, don't wanna risk infections obvs)this works in my favour because I was gonna get rid of my breasts one way or another, this one happens to be covered by insurance and doesn't require a therapist. So! I will be trying to use that time and maybe work on some of my wips or new projects.

I have had some time to figure out quite a bit about myself and where i wanna end up in life. Nothing so lofty as having any certain life goals beyond survival, but sometimes that's all that is needed.

My short term future has several tattoos and new piercings in it and I am looking forward to it.

This journal has been all over the place, probably because I should have been asleep hours ago. It is what it is.
