THEN, another spectrumy moment happened when they asked if I wanted to book my next TBE booster in two months, and I just FROZE because I didn't know. And she eventually decided that I could just make it later. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I *did* forget that vaccines were a thing that sometimes happens at doctor's appointments (because of my list of other concerns). and I got TWO: TBE + tetanus boosters.

Also, if you know me, you know I have terrible medical anxiety. Not anxiety about pain or blood draws or anything. And I knew she was gonna draw my blood today. But I accidentally looked at it because I thought she was done. Then I got woozy. THREE vials.

I also realized afterwards that I don't think I EVER looked at her eyes. I feel like I've unmasked a lot lately....to the point where I'm basically not event trying with eye contact anymore. Oops.

That made it feel real.

Like. You really wanna work with me. I get to help you help people?! Really?!

Kind of a dream realized. A dream come true.

Crossing my fingers and toes that this works out and I don't need to go back to the corporate grind.

Now the tiredness of shifting my schedule back to normal is catching up to me. I think I need to sleep all weekend...

2. Orienteering event (kinda normal). The twist? Run around with flags! 3. EVERYONE working on their day off at a cafe. Including me! (But it's OK, I'm a foreigner. And I'm wearing my LV Hockey sweatshirt in support of....freedom....and hockey, I guess.)

This is a reward to ourselves for having two little girls in our house for the past week. Yay for keeping kids out of crisis centers/the system...but I'm exhausted & a little sick now. Indian food to the rescue.
