It's father's day, and I'm a little wistful this morning. On one hand, I'm so grateful that the exhausting ordeal that was his last years is over, before anyone but me did permanent damage to themselves. On the other, I miss being out and finding some sort of little treat, and taking it home to him. He was so picky that it was always a little thrill to find something that he'd eat. Overall, though, I feel a little bad that I don't miss him more, but the father that I miss is not the person who was there the last 2 years. I don't miss that person at all. I'm just glad he's at peace, and that at the end he went easily.

Today, correction from yesterday, we do have some things to do. We're going out for lunch to a steakhouse with my friend from 911. She's the only good thing that came out of that shitshow. I regret that I let it effect my mental health, but it got me where I am not, so I don't actually regret doing it. Then, I'm debating on going to the pool for an hour and swimming, and then we have game with the lovely poisontaster DMing. It's going to be a fun, relaxing day and I'm here for it. The pool is contingent on the weather, of course. Right now it looks pretty dreary.

Tomorrow, it's back to work, and hopefully to get some interest in the application.

Yesterday was a lot of fun, but good lord, I am not cut out for the heat. By the time we got home, all I could do was fall over. I was no more good the rest of the day. We got street food, but by then I was too hot to eat it. I had one bite, which was excellent, and then realized that if I persisted, I'd be vomiting on the table.

I had brought some beads that I purchased from amazon. I felt a little silly, putting them onto the table, but they were super popular, so I'm glad I did. We had so many people thank us for what we do and for coming out. We were there in support of the Hopkins Gender Expansive Clinic, and a lot of people were very interested. Some came over to say thank you, because they're already patients. Including one who had the very surgery Jess wants to have. So they got a look at what they could look like in a year's time, which was very cool.

I'm debating between cooking breakfast versus having a donut. I probably will cook something. Maybe pancakes and sausage. I have some sausage that I got at the farmer's market. Tonight, we'll have leftovers, since we're going out to lunch late.

And now, I shall drink my coffee and relax until it's time to make breakfast. Everyone have an amazing Sunday!
