Working on updating my REI account to my new name and they requested a list of items I purchased in 2017 as identify verification. So I went through my 2017 REI purchase emails to generate a list.
There are definitely some items I purchased, got sent to an REI store, and never picked up. It was an unwelcome reminder of how anxious and without a functional working memory I was before I started treating my trauma.

I am posting to let others know I am okay. I'm in Los Angeles, roughly halfway between Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire. On Wednesday night a smaller fire, Sunset Fire, broke out near my home in walking distance of the UCB Theatre. This fire was contained the next day.
This week has been strange times, but me and my dog Edith have remained safe and out of harm's way. The situation will continue to evolve in coming weeks, but I think my home is out of harm's way, while I am ready to leave if necessary.
I'll spend some time in the next few days improving my evacuation readiness. Folks directly impacted by the fires remain in my thoughts, and I'll be looking for action I can take to aid them. Stay safe folks.

I want startups to be honest: "we’re using a case statement and to determine your fit. Our computers are slow and go brrrr, so please be patient."

I just encountered a "find my size" tool that gets confused about fat people existing. First, it asks for height, weight, age, and bra size, which is a weird way to estimate what size underwear bottoms, but sure… then you get a waiting prompt claiming AI and Machine Learning are doing something a lookup table couldn’t. After the waiting prompt it asks me to check my inputs with only the weight. If your weight is less than 344, the tool identifies a size. At 345 or higher it just loops forever, not believing a fatty would want to purchase clothes. 🙄 I hate this.

Anyhow, I guess I stick to the plan of making a turkey sandwich then going to an improv show.

Some friends cancelled on me and like, I get it, but I made plans with them specifically because Thanksgiving is a tough holiday for me to be alone during. 😠😭

How much cheese is too much cheese for a single person’s refrigerator? 7.5 lbs? 9? 10?

Reflecting on today’s errands, I realize I purchased a small hoard of cheese, and that might not have been the healthiest choice. Am I using dairy products to cope with stress? Pretty much.

Having a tough time after thinking about some intractable family issues, & like, Johana, you know thinking about the disconnection you have with those folks isn’t gonna make your day better, and you’ve known that for a while now. Just be sad, don’t take it as a prompt to find things to be sad about.

Considering making my living room function as a bedroom and my bedroom an office, as Edith🐶 has peed on the carpet while I’m asleep or out-of-the-apartment. Not sure I can train her out of this, pretty sure this space should only be available to her when I can keep an eye on her in case she decides to pee in here.

It feels trauma-related, like if I had processed this already I would have a name for this, an explanation beyond "I dislike and want to avoid this."

Unpopular opinion: air mattresses have really come a long way in terms of accessible design, and they are a comfortable and inexpensive option if you need to set up a temporary bed either for yourself or for guests.

Today I got a rotisserie chicken from Costco and broke it down for meat. Felt a little wasteful to not make stock from the bones and gristle, but my current space is pretty limited as far as cooking goes. I thought the least messy way to manage was just to toss anything that wasn't already edible.

I’m excited to mention that I will be moving into a larger apartment in the Franklin Hills neighborhood of West Hollywood. This DTLA microstudio was a fine toehold while I was determining if LA would be my new home, and now I am looking forward to having space to cook and make music at home.

As I stepped outside to walk Edith🐶 this morning, a dude cycled past me, then yelled, "sorry." II hadn't even registered his presence before the apology, so asked, "for what?" hoping that he would recognize cycling at speed on the sidewalk is foolish and not advisable. "For you being in the way." he yelled back.
Then Edith🐶 literally fell in a hole in the sidewalk, so I focused on caring for her before I could even consider getting upset.
