a day of waiting
There was no ultrasound today, because the doctor was unavailable. I already fasted in preparation -- though technically, both me and M, my mother, did. She decided to wait until we can have breakfast together. I appreciated that.
The real kicker was that the doctor arrived an hour after we decided to eat. So instead of being unavailable, they turned out to be late. I felt frustrated about having done the fasting, the appointment getting cancelled, and THEN learning that I could have just waited one more hour, even if that meant waiting longer to eat.
In the grand scheme of things, I got the other tests done. I initially planned to have the ultrasound done on Saturday instead of today. And now that's what's gonna happen, so I guess it worked out in the end!
During our stay in the waiting room, I had no cellular data on my phone, and I felt antsy about it. Even so, I will stick with prepaid. It's not worth the additional expenses!
When I returned from collecting my shit and piss, I saw M talking with two elderly men in the waiting room. I joined their conversation on food and politics and cities; it was a nice way to pass time. At some point, I wondered if I'll ever reach their age. I'd like to do so without regret.
I wished that my results were normal. So far, the ones that I already got seems to be normal. Until my doctor can go through them, I will exercise cautious positivity. Hopefully the remaining tests are going to be non-concerning as well!
this week's shinies ⋆˚࿔
Finally watched The Knights of Guinevere (Pilot) based on my friend J's recommendation. It's an indie animated series feat. an android princess who serves as an amusement park's mascot. A testament that art blooms when nurtured!
It's art market season again! That means the stress of preparing merch AND the joy of holding said merch in your hands. As a digital artist, it's always a delight to enjoy my art in various physical forms
At the hospital's cafeteria, they were selling Luyang/Lasak, a local food made from bananas and coconut. I first tried it during work, and now I get to enjoy it again with my mother! Yay!
Suddenly remembered the song "Rag Dolly" from the Raggedy Ann and Andy movie, which was a...whirlwind of an experience that I want to try watching again. I just recently listened to the Broadway demo, and I like both versions!
Been watching Hannah Witton's videos a lot more recently; I like listening to her insights on parenting, friendship, and planning -- the planning videos are what drew me in at first
