I wonder if you can hear the Lamentations of Their Goslings?…
(I am SO so sorry for that…I don’t know what came over me…)
My homeroom teacher is playing really weird and deliberately annoying music. I'm trying to have my headphones louder than it so that I can't hear the annoying music. I can still hear it. A kid is making a tower out of chairs. It keeps falling over. This is an interesting experience, that's for sure.
Chinese Opera?
More and more I've been reading on Stoicism and it's application in managing emotions and I realize that it's very useful right now. At its heart, Stoicism recognizes both emotions and capabilities, striving for balance in how people can respond.
But, one notation I saw really stuck with me-letting go of ego. Ego is that Sense of pride, that drive to be right all the time. It's fragile and often inflexible and is not always open to learning or growing. Self-efficacy, the ability to recognize what is and is not inside one's control and what they can do with it is the more appropriate way to engage and ensure more wise course of action.
I will sometimes appear very apathetic but it's not because I don't care; it's because there is only so much I can do about the problems that give me so much anxiety.

I would make a terrible Stoic, because I struggle often and mightily with what is and is not in my control, and also could be on the receiving end of this excellent observation:
Why do they call it a "life cycle" when it doesn't repeat?
Life cycles do repeat.
Stoics are all about practice, acknowledging the emotion while still practicing self control. They're also all about growth so acknowledging we still have a long way to go would fit well
FYI, Hacks season 4 starts 4/10.
^ had that many times, especially when I was younger. I had what the nurses called, "spaghetti veins"--where they roll around and make it hard for the person to get a good stick. I ended up getting jabbed multiple times before they would give up and just tap the back of my hand. IMO, getting stuck in the hand hurts more than in the arm.
Luckily, I don't have that problem any more (don't know why. I'm certainly not more healthy now) and they can usually get it from my arm pretty easily.

To get up or go back to bed. Maybe it's the effect of DST ending. Feeling a little sleepy this morning.
I'm just now playing Deltarune.

Sounds like my day and even when they do, getting blood out of him isn't easy
For injections, I don't mind the back of my hand (Had several sedatives that way), but for blood extraction, arm (definitely not wrist though) please
I have those. It's infinitely faster and easier to do my hand.
I got my nephrostomy tube out today!
I went back to the hospital for a nephrostogram, which is where they put dye into the tube to see how things are flowing through my kidney and all of that, and apparently the doctor was happy with what he saw because he pulled the tube out. I'm honestly kind of shock it went so well, it seemed like ever since this started with the stone back in August everything went wrong, so I was expecting this to go badly too and to end up with tube for a while longer. The only problem is I do have a hole in my hip that will possibly be leaking urine for the next few days, so that's fun. They did give me whole bunch of bandages for it, so hopefully that will be enough to keep it covered until it stops, and hopefully it won't get infected.
I have anr appointment at the urologist's office tomorrow, and hopefully if that goes well then all of this might finally be over, or at least very close to it.

Randomly thinking of my yr 7 teacher whom I and many others had a crush on as she was just under 30, and dressed in the tightest jeans and tops and absolutely KNEW that every male within a few miles of her looked at her, and that us boys had crushes on her. Having said that she was a bit of a bitch and kind of strict in class
I just dealt with some real immature people today heckling me over scrapping some metal and junk that isn't worth fixing. I don't care if some people collect old metal and whatnot. If I want to scrap it, I will.
