currently getting over the lingering after-effects of a sinus infection, which was not an enjoyable way to spend last week

Just got back from my first ever date, holy shit what an experience. She was so cute and lovely, we held hands, hugged, kissed, there was some intimate touch from me to her, naturally all with her explicit consent. I can’t wait to see her again on Friday, so fucking excited and it’s only Monday still…
I cracked. Hi! I’m Prana, a trans girl.
Hi Prana!
Hi hi, MangoKangaroo! Wow, being called by a name that I chose myself feels really nice.
Pretty terrible. After a year I finally got a job, but it’s probably one of the worst possible jobs for someone like me who has ASD and other issues… Call center for military benefits. But I have to do it.
Severely disappointed after spending so much time learning web development, and it was for nothing it seems. On the bright side, my training was paid for…
I’m happy! Anybody else want some?
I’d like a good dollop of happiness, please and thank you.
Here you go, savor it!
My SO came out to their conservative family, and it went well :D
I’m also finally feeling confident in my SQL training!

Just got down from the roof after removing my remaining solar panels to swap out washers that turned out to be too small to actually hold them to the Z brackets at highway speed. Lost three of 12 at some point last week. Eight are now back up, and the three replacements arrive tomorrow. Hopefully solar will be live and my belongings out of the warehouse I used to work at by the end of the week. Glacial progress with regressions seems to be November’s theme.
Tiring… Haven’t been sleeping well and been really busy at a job where my interest in dwindling. Being busy normally helps with the dread which is good, but I’m still just so damn tired.
I just scheduled my first ever date with a girl for Friday at 1pm! I am super damn excitied and also super damn anxious at the same time. Never done anything like dating before, so this is all new to me. Thankfully the girl I’m meeting is kind and fun so we should have a good time, I legit can’t remember the last time I felt this happy.
EDIT: We’re actually meeting up tomorrow!!! Grabbing a few drinks at a pub after she has an appointment in my area, lucky.
Listened to Anna Karenina last week, finally finished it after like two weeks. Quite a journey and quite a roster out characters that I got to know. It’s such a huge book that I don’t know how to begin talking about it.
Started Fathers and Sons now

Had to have surgical intervention a few weeks ago and am getting mild pangs of renal colic pain on the other side. I’m drinking tons of water and crossing my fingers hard that these stones don’t require intervention 🤞
Other than that life feels like a mess right now and I’m trying to be more intentional about addressing things this week.
Anyone have good advice for making friends in one’s thirties? Online or IRL?

Assuming you’re cool with meeting up with strangers in person, meetup.com was a good way to find people of like minded hobbies (like board games). You’ll get a wide range of folks depending on the group itself but it can be helpful if you’re trying to “refill” your own social needs at least in the beginning and hopefully make some friends as a result. Helped me out of a rut when I found myself alone with no friends far from home!
I made quite a number of >30 year old friends online, mostly on instagram and twitch.
- On Instagram I just repost cat videos, make funny comments that are not offensive (e.g. cat puns, or self deprecating jokes)
- On twitch, I post self deprecating jokes, compliment on people’s look and effort, etc.
My rule is, don’t be annoying, don’t nag, don’t post comments that sound like you’re looking for a mate. Genuinely believe that I’m gonna be dead soon, and I’ll treat a handful people I care about as nice as possible without suffocating them.
Also don’t talk about yourself.
Got two more Unna’s boot (zinc oxide and calamine gauze bandage) applications and cooling my foot with frozen peas (recommended by the orthopedic doctor). X-Ray showed a small infection in the dorsum of the foot, and I got prescribed shoe inlays, which will be done on the 1st of December. Once I have those, I can finally get rid of the crutches.
My dancing class has to be canceled for obvious reasons, and our teacher said we can just start the advanced course over (we only had 2 of 8 lessons) next year, and if I can make it also come to the last class of the beginner course late December, just to get a bit back into dancing.
No exercise this year, and I’ll have to see how it goes next year. Fun.
Was okay. Brain said “lol, fuck you” and it got progressively shit.
But at least I’ve found some decent distractions, so that’s something.
It’s been not too bad of a week. I work outside and unfortunately, it’s been very cold the first part of the week but temps are warming. It’s going to rain all day. Fun, fun.
Was supposed to get my shoe inserts today, which I’d then be supposed to use instead of crutches. They didn’t arrive. No deliveries on Saturday, so still crutches until Monday. Yay.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Last weekend I built a new PC which I collected parts over 6 months when I could afford them, and today I replaced all my burnt out light bulbs! My room is a lot brighter now!
