I haven’t had much to say lately, but sooner or later I feel like I should check back in. Things were a little chaotic for awhile personally & professionally, so I have more gray hairs than I did a month ago. But things are good now.
Dreamboat and I got back together. We both learned a lot from being broken up for those months. I’m optimistic about the future. I spent New Year’s Eve in Chicago with awesome friends.
My cats are doing well. I’ve been knitting a lot, playing a lot of bar trivia, and as always, job searching. I’ve been going to the gym still, and I’ve lost almost 40 lbs. (Don’t worry, I’m still really fat.)

Yaaay–I love your posts. Congrats on getting back together with Dreamboat! My DGF and I broke up after eight or nine months of dating, then were apart for a while, then got back together and have been together again for three-ish years. I actually think the breakup, in the long run, was really good for our relationship.
BTW, I’m thinking about trying to lose some weight too. To lower my statistical risk of heart disease and to feel good (not to meet some stupid social standard of attractiveness). What would you think about some kind of butch workout buddy/accountability something? I bet we could get a few other butches to join in…

Lowering statistical risk of heart disease is a huge reason I’m changing my habits– my mom’s mother died of a heart attack at age 54. my mom is 62 and in good heart health, but i definitely worry about it.
i have no idea what that sort of accountability would look like, but i’m open to ideas!
luckily my next door neighbors and another friend are kind of a gym posse together– 4 queer female bodied people rolling up to the gym together makes it a lot easier to force myself to go!

I enjoy your check-in posts. It sounds like you’re happy, and that’s what matters. Optimism is a powerful thing. Don’t be a stranger!

Thanks!!
I won’t be a stranger. In fact, I’m considering a spring break trip to Baltimore/DC and would love to break bread with you if we’re able to get out there.

Yes! Keep me posted, and I’m sure I’ll be able to work it out.
