Gender stuff continues to bubble and froth like a hot spring but it's become much more managable. I've got a list of changes and time scheduled to work on them and am doing stuff to prep for my next therapy appointment. My hormones are also fucked up and I don't know why. My estrogen is in the pregnant range and I'm hoping its just me fucking up and not like a liver problem. It's not like immediately dangerous or anything but it does have me stressing.
I got two scholarships this past week that totaled $2250. Those will cover half my lab expenses for my thesis and expand my CV. I won one of the most prestigious scholarships in my field and half my committee has it as well. I have my own little niche and will become an expert in it. I like work because I feel like I'm respected for my competence and technical expertise.
On the fun side of things, I've been getting more into Monster High and want to get some more dolls. I also found out they're making a high-production-value live-action movie of Monster High. I'm so glad they have nonbinary character! I've been working on my writing too and submitted a manuscript to a magazine. I've not gotten rejected yet, so I'm feeling a lil confident.
