Hi.
It has been a long time. A lot has happened in that time, but nothing has really changed a whole lot.
I’ve been trying to decide if I should start blogging again. I don’t have much to say these days that I’m not already saying on social media, but perhaps this outlet will help me to process the things of life again, and maybe even find a new reader or two. I’m still unsure this is the right place.
My life update is pretty straightforward. My medical care is up in the air now that my primary physician is retiring. I don’t know what’s going to happen as a result, but my brain, of course, is fixated on the worst case scenario that I’m going to simply die.
Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. I feel indifferent about it right now, which is better than panicked, so whatever.
My medical needs are many. Some medications are covered by insurance. Quite a few are not. I need specialists and don’t have financial access to them. My medical fund is a mostly dormant but still active PayPal account, if it matters. paypal.me/KBosarge
I’m the only one who sees it, and the donor can designate funds, such as “fuel costs to the clinic” or “buy your magnesium” if that’s helpful.
Never donate unless you’ve paid your bills first. No sacrifices should ever be made on my behalf. I couldn’t live with that.
I had to reapply this month to stay in my apartment. This is maybe my 9th year? I am not happy, but the people are a little quieter than they used to be, so that’s something.
Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about the election and about the people who are responsible for the outrageous result. I don’t need to spell it out for you. (Idiots.)
That nutty Q&A site Ask is finally shutting down. I have been there 12 1/2 years and responded over 13,000 times. Wild place. I gained little to nothing by being there, but I’m fine with that. It served its purpose as a distraction. The final three weeks are upon us, and I reopened my page to anonymous questions and comments. Say bye or something. ask.fm/ugottafriend
I no longer add people to Facebook (kiss my ass, Meta) or Twitter (kiss my ass, Elon) and my account on the fedeverse or whatever that dumb word is is not for public sharing. I like my solitude without the drama and politics of the other sites.
When I’m not curled up in a fetal position on the couch or in the bathroom, I’m sorting the apartment or on Twitch (it’s ugottafriend, if you do Twitch). I play Pokémon Community Game and Embervale on occasion. I am not nearly as serious about it as others, but I’ve met a few decent people that I would consider friends, so that’s nice. I became a moderator on voice actor Casey Mongillo’s channel. They’re a good homie, and I’m doing my best to look out for them. I was gifted a lot of video games by friends a while back, and I might actually do some streaming myself if I can ever afford Wi-Fi and a better computer.
I am an Aunt again, to Max. The name is a tribute to my half brother who died 28 years ago. So that’s quite a tribe now: Josephine, Zoey, Sadie, JJ, Asher, Allie, and Max.
I’ll come back soon, if I feel like it. Otherwise, take care of yourselves.
