100 page views, potbelly pig, and an OBGYN.

The blog has gotten 100 pages views! Hooray! No followers yet so I'm still not sure if anyone is reading this but if you are, I love you.

Today has been interesting. Our potbelly pig, who is a rescue and my mom's baby knocked down part of his pen. He's very sweet, very old, he came with the name Bacon, and my mom adores and spoils him. Luckily, because he is so sweet he didn't really mind that his pen was knocked over and let my dad work on fixing it without much of a fuss. He just wanted his shower and refilled mud puddle. So all in all, crisis averted. I distracted the horses with treats, dad fixed the pen, everyone is happy. Farm life is never dull.
He's a happy guy. 

Okay so today I had to make an OBGYN appointment. I am a trans man, I use he and him pronouns and am a guy, but I have, you know, a vagina. So it needs routine checkups and I've been have some spoonie problems with it that make me worried I may have Ovarian Cysts which run in my family. ( Read more on the spoons theory here and Transequality has good definitions  if you are ever confused on that.) 

I must have called and been redirected to ten different offices. They were either not taking new patients, didn't take my insurance, or redirected me back to my main doctors office! I have to much phone anxiety for that! And still no OBGYN appointment was made! It was irritating and a total was of spoons and time. I wished there was a way I could explain to someone all the information I have, what I need, and get exactly what I'm looking for in a redirect. Bahhh. I've never needed a shirt that says "I'd rather be knitting!" more in my life!

So then I tried a new stitch for my blanket square which Can Be Found Here and involved wrapping the yarn twice around the needle. It went poorly and ended in frogging.


But...frogitaboutit. I'm still having a good day. I just decided to do simple knit stitch so I could read more Death By Cashmere and knit the square at the same time. Life is returning to normal and I'm happy for that.
