Hi, petals! Ready for a life update/overshare? I had a Medical Thing on Wednesday that should really improve my quality of life w/r/t my cycle, if it actually works! Anyway, after taking a day at home to rest, I woke up this morning somehow just…raring to go! I wanna climb that mountain! I wanna organize for Literally Any Woman for President 2020! I wanna konmari my wardrobe! I wanna fix my own car!

This show is so fucking queer!
