Finally got that Patreon post written and posted yesterday, go me! Just a reminder for anyone who wants to check out my Patreon without committing to anything yet, there's a free seven-day trial option that gives you access to all 50-some previous posts so you'll be able to get an idea if you want to stay as a paying member. Membership tiers start at $5 a month.
Yesterday also put a bit of a dent in the bank balance since I took my car in for some maintenance. I was overdue time-wise but still short of miles for an oil change and while I was running an errand on Thursday a kind stranger let me know I had white smoke coming out of my exhaust. Turned out there was nothing seriously wrong, but it did set me back a bit more than $100 over the cost of a standard oil change so that was a little bit of an ouchie. Happily, someone I know from The-Toast days pre-paid for three readings for friends and that pretty much covered the extra cost!
I've had more than a few people mention adding YouTube videos or Instagram reels to my repertoire and while that sounds amazing (and fun) I simply don't have the mental resources to invest in learning something new right now. Especially something that would require some technological expertise. It's incredibly frustrating.
In hopeful possibilities though, I started estrogen supplementation last week in the hopes that will help with my brain fog and fatigue (and, superficially, my hair loss). I haven't noticed any improvement yet--in fact, the past week I've felt even more drained than usual--but I continue to practice optimism.
Today I'm attending a two-hour tarot workshop thing with Jessica Dore and I'm already feeling a bit wiped from today's activities (the usual morning meditation, a little online chatting, 20 minutes in my art studio, and writing this post--so much stuff!). So I'm shutting everything down, including myself, to rest.

Fingers crossed so hard that the estrogen supplementation does some good!
