Just your friendly music therapy goth. 😛

It’s an eepy day today, & I’m tired.

I’ve just been floor-rotting in front of the telley, watching old 1990’s gothy movies, with the sound off & captions on (always)…

😮‍💨 I really can’t decide if I want to wear my hearing aids or not. Like, half of me wants to hear, & then the other half is like, “It’s Saturday, the world would be too loud, you’re tired of loud; just chill & don’t worry about it.”

(Pics of my bionics, with shiny pink, & 🏳️‍⚧️-coloured tube twisties, for tax! Grey fuzz is a blanket, not my hair! 😛)

Deaf day, or shall I keep enjoying the silence?? 😆

I’ve been practicing for a couple hours today, & decided to take a couple videos of the music I’m working on (my own arrangements of Villa-Lobos’, “Etude no. 1,” &, relearning J.K. Mertz’s, “Nocturne, Op. 40, No. 2…” & then Peaches decided she wanted to… add to the music… 😂 sooo, obviously a yelling cockatoo is not conducive to trying to record music. 🙄😆

Thanks, Peaches. Thank you SO much for your perfectly-timed life decision. 🤣

It’s also, apparently, 113° here, & my A/C keeps shutting off, & I’m melting. SO fun! 😂 I guess I’ll try another day, hahaha.

Keep cool, & stay hydrated, friends. 💦 🫶🏻

Just wanted to say hiyo! This is my favourite guitar (Ortega RCE159-8), that my nesting partner bought me a couple years ago, which I named, “Eryn Laer,” (cos I’m a LOTR dork gal, haha). Got a new Gator Deluxe bag for it back in March, cos the Ortega bag finally bit the dust, & it is HEFTY—like, everything together weighs like, 20-something pounds, haha. But it’s a fantastic bag for commuting to my hospice music therapy job!

I had picked out my OOTD for Pride this weekend, but fun funds got eaten by paying bills. ☹️ There’s another event coming up in July that I’m going to try & get to, though, sook the outfit might remain the same?? Ooor maybe I’ll rock comfy goth yoga pants?? 😛 🤷🏻‍♀️

Black tank, batik skirt, new Converse, claw / hair, hair flower that my friend Yasmin got me (worn on right side means single), iridescent 🏳️‍⚧️ pink tube twisties on my hearing aids, & assorted accessories. 😌

I think I picked out my OOTD for Pride:

Back in the land of the hearing… & I don’t like it. 🤣🤣

Oh god… It was… a lot.

It was SO loud on the hospice unit (Friday unit typically is… which is SO overwhelming… you’d think they wouldn’t do that for people who have dementia… 🙄)… & I was trying to get my Guitar programme back to the way it sounded—all my programmes were erased during the re-setup 😖😭 curse you, Phonak, for doing that—& nothing was sounding right, & I just wanted to cry. 😭

I wish I would’ve taken screenshots of my last settings… but hopefully if I get it similar enough, I will this time, so I have a reference.

It was the equivalent of suddenly hearing through jet engines again, after probably over a month… I had sorta gotten used to my deaf world again… & then BLAM-O. 😂

I made them pretty (for Pride month 🏳️‍⚧️), & people STILL didn’t notice them. 🤣 🤦🏻‍♀️

She’s smaller than I thought she’d be, but it’s okay. Sans name at the moment, but I’m sure one will come to me. And the teeny teef! 🦷 😆 I could stick her in my purse with her head peeking out! 😆

Just sharing a little bit of joy… 😌
I started my estradiol valerate journey last May… something I didn’t think I’d be able to do for an indeterminate amount of time. As the year has gone on, I’ve felt more at peace in myself, as my body & mind & being, finally have been aligned. It’s a marathon, & I remain hopeful that it all continues far, far into forever… 🫶🏻

I’m on a couple guitar gear pages, & spotted this Blähaj art!

😛 🎸 🎛️
