Life Update

My older dog Aussie passed away on Sept 16 😢 He had degenerative muscular myelopathy on his back legs. Unfortunately, his wheelchair did not help him. Eventually, I made the difficult decision to have him put to sleep. I had a very empathetic vet meet us at the park. Aussie passed away peacefully while I cried my eyes out. I just picked up his ashes and urn yesterday. I'm struggling hard but not being able to spend as much time with him towards the end (working my vanilla job vs being at home with him all the time while escorting full time) has really kicked me into gear to get back into sex work full time by the end of the year.

I have my tubial ligation surgery date set for mid October. My doctor believes my long periods are due to my implant birth control and wants to hold off on the endometrial ablation for now. I'll go off birth control the day off my surgery and I can't wait!

If the endometrial ablation doesn't happen, I plan on putting my $4k HSA money for PKR (similar to LASIK) or towards a rhinoplasty (at least anything applicable related to the surgery).

I was set to donate bone marrow today but that has been put on hold indefinitely as the cancer patient isn't healthy enough to do the transplant yet :(

After Aussie passed, I decided I needed less on my plate. I dropped all but one class. Currently managing well and I have an A in that class. Taking one class per semester from now on.

Day Off - 5/24/22

Left work late but not super late. Ran some errands on the way home. Bought groceries for a small party. Went to bed early.

Woke up and found the awesome sleep mask I bought torn to shreds on the floor. It must have fallen off my head in the middle of the night and my puppy got to it. I reluctantly ordered a new one.

Eventually got ready for the day and washed my hair. I walked the dogs and mostly laid around doing nothing until just before my friends were about to arrive. I realized I forgot some stuff for the party so I rushed to the store really quick.

My friends arrived and we had an awesome vegan bbq. One of them was moving out of state so it was a little goodbye party for her :(

We relaxed in the hot tub, hung out with my pets. Ate ice cream on the roof and wrapped up the evening playing rounds of pool and shuffleboard.

I went to bed not long after they left. Woke up and made a quick breakfast. Walked the dogs. Aussie, my older dog isn't doing too good today. His back legs are weak and he fell in some bushes during our walk 😣 Took my puppy to get her nails trimmed. Spent $104 at Costco on pet food. Spent $34 on lots of fruit. Ate fast food on the way home.
