oh, that.

sharp cramps woke me up and blood showed up right away. now it makes sense why i was feelin' bad.

trying to remember which day it was that my period showed up in the middle of hiking in the woods with tyler, i feel like it was the wednesday before halloween? kinda crazy to me that my periods are still so regular, at my age.

edit: was thursday, oct 29th. so 27 days, as it's always been.

comfort and grief

it's really strange how listening to dulcimer solstice music that my mom loved is simultaneously so soothing for kitchen work and also so unspeakably sad.

stolen goods, traveling afar

my old phone that got stolen is in south africa. i signed out of everything except google maps, so that i could see its movement. they changed their work address to south africa. it is really infuriating that verizon refused to do anything about it. i asked them to wipe the phone and brick it to make it unusable, and they said that would "violate customer privacy." uh it's your customer that's asking, dumbass. i also submitted a police report, with the person's email address who had it a month later (he changed passwords and usernames for logins and i found this in multiple places, he was in portland, he has a facebook account, he sells a lot of things and appears not to have a job), also nothing.

i really, really loved that phone. (it got left behind in a movie theatre on new year's day, the latest showing with like 5 people in the theatre. i went back the next morning, but the thief kept it - my fault for not having a lock screen on, i learned that lesson.)
