Thank you

I wanted to give you all an update in case I'm not on here during the next couple days. I've been having a few symptoms showing related to heart attack or stroke.
I'll be seeing my doctor on Thursday to get checked out as that was the soonest to see her.

Urgent care takes around 3-4 hours just to see someone and I refuse to go to a hospital as I hate them now.

Wow! Please take care of yourself, @KikiDeAnime! Sending you hugs!

Hope everyone is doing well today!

Nyx finally got her vaccines on Wednesday and the vets managed to get her to take the deworming pill as well.

I'm waiting on results from the X-Rays and EKG that they did yesterday at my appointment. The doctor also took a look at my knee because I've been having issues with it partially dislocating before snapping back into place right away. He said that it might be Patellar Subluxation. They got X-Rays of that as well so I'll know soon if something serious is wrong.

I am so incredibly ready for a nap.

I am so incredibly ready for a nap.

I so love naps.

 

[ColtHandorf]

Same. I'm just exhausted and the weather is so dreary.

Hi guys

 

[lilmillefleur]

I'm feeling kind of upset right now.
So I go to the Mormon church where the official doctrine is anti-lgbt+ but it has divided a lot of its members over the issue. My dad is the bishop, basically a pastor/leader, and last night I overheard a meeting he was having with some of his counselors concerning the lgbt/ally kids in the church and how to approach the issue to keep unity within the congregation. He's conservative but empathetic and tried to give as much nuance as possible given the church's actual teachings. I was feeling hopeful about it.
That's until the early morning lesson we had today. It was about THE church document that blatantly said LGBT rights were an attack on the nuclear family structure and gay/trans rights are the devil's work. And there wasn't really any sort of sympathy or even a reminder to 'love the sinner hate the sin' that gets preached a lot in Mormon culture. I wanted to slam my head through the wall the entire lesson.
I wonder if the meeting last night was related at all to today's lesson. I sincerely hope that the meeting was in response to the planned lesson, although if that were the case I would suspect the lesson would have at least been tackled with a bit more nuance and sympathy. If the lesson was in response to the meeting, I have lost faith in humanity. And if they are not related whatsoever, I hope to bring it up to my dad my feelings on the lesson at some point. Because that lesson AIN'T IT. And the church doctrine AIN'T IT. It's easy to forget sometimes, especially as an ally without the lived queer experience, but there are still homophobes and transphobes out there who genuinely believe that their values are being threatened.

I'm so sorry you had to hear that and hope it was unrelated.
