After three months of unemployment I just got a job I've been chasing for almost a month.

And someone bestowed this lovely new avatar upon me!

Today, one of my paintings was featured in a show at the Riverside Art Museum. They had a call for art created by students, teachers, and other people who are in education. This was my first museum show, so I'm stoked!



Is that Voyager?

The US Parachute Association has accepted and is processing my D license (highest USPA, "mastery" level license), and I'm leaving tonight for Chicago, where I'll attempt the Illinois state women's formation skydiving record.

That doesn't do them justice, even. I got given a few samples to play with:



They are seriously shiny as hell, and I can't wait to order them.

I was at work in a call center supervising a tech support team. One of them sent me a link and when I opened it in IE it exploded into about a hundred goatse windows. I had to turn the computer off to stop the goatsunami.

Some humpback whale figured out if you hold still with your mouth open, schools of fish will hide inside and then you can gulp them all up with no effort. It's been teaching others to do it too. We saw one do it today.

I just came out of surgery to remove a tumor from my breast (sorry if that is tmi here). The surgeon said afterward that they’re 99% it’s non cancerous, but I’ll know 100% in a week.

It was pretty painless and I feel fine, and I’m so glad to have that literal weight off my chest.

This is cross-posted from another thread, but I wanted to share it here too because I'm having a loving awesome day.



Today is my birthday. My first birthday as myself.

I'm having lunch with my parents, then meeting up with friends for drinks and dinner tonight.

Oh, and I got a couple dozens birthday wishes from people I know. Just reading the string of "Happy birthday Zoe" makes me tear up.

Exactly three years ago, I decided I had to do something about my dysphoria, and set up an appointment with a psych to discuss things. There's been some hiccups along the way, but here I am. Three years down the line, everyone knows I'm a girl and accepts me as such.

I have come so far. If you'd told the me from three years ago I would get to this point, she'd have called your crazy. And yet I'm here.

I'm so blessed to be alive, and excited for the next years to come.

Happy Birthday :toot:
