Oh man. Today was not a good day. The gyno visit was an absolute nightmare. My appointment was for 9:30am and they didn’t see me until 11:30! And don’t get me started on how outrageous it is to have to volunteer to be intruded (physically and via information sharing) once a year – and have to pay for it – just for the honor of paying an arm and a leg for medication I need to not have my period for 3 weeks out of the month. Some days I have a hard time finding anything positive about being a woman, other than getting to wear cool shoes.

I lost four hours of work time to get probed. I got hit on by some weird old guy who was hanging out of a second story window, cat calling at me down the block. I found out that my bank account is a lot lower than I had expected, and I forgot to pay a credit card, so there’s another late fee. I’m going to have to make more cuts in my budget, but I really don’t see any other way to. In the end I’m going to have to start getting more freelance work, and making more money doing it. I just don’t know how to fit anything else into my day, though. Gonna have to wake up earlier, go to bed later, and learn to love that empty-headed caffeinated feeling, I guess.

In the afternoon, The Man asked me to go to the movies, which is really lovely, except that since I didn’t make it to yoga this morning, I was going to do an evening class. So no exercise tonight, and I ate movie food for dinner. The results are below. I only have myself to blame. Right now I just don’t give a shit, though. I’m going to go to bed, wake up in the morning, and hit the refresh button on this diet. Maybe my supplements will arrive by tomorrow.

Goodnight. Sorry for the bitchfest – I’ll be nicer tomorrow, promise.

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
