    A complete and utter whirlwind. I had work and some cool cultural events such as seeing the original Jurassic Park in a theater which was great but it’s all kind of a blur because bottom surgery is now less than a week away. I did my best to prepare my apartment for the recovery and stocking up on stuff a bit. But honestly, I was mostly focused on not getting sick. I noticed some tiredness and body aches on Friday and cancelled almost all plans I had for the weekend. I have my last 3 days of work Mon-Wed and will try my best to not get sick next week before leaving for surgery. What a ride.

    I realised today that I haven’t really felt normal since August. First I had two months of existential anguish because of insurance denying surgery, now three weeks of euphoria and finally a week of anxiety over getting sick. I’m so so looking forward to when I’m there and “just” have to recover. I’m sure it will be hard but at least I’ll just have to chill out.

    Also: Very funny to announce each morning that it’s the last [weekday] with a penis.
