Finally had my nerve conduction test today, and I officially have carpal tunnel on top of my tendonitis in both wrists. Worse, as expected, in the left. Fortunately it's moderate so surgery is unlikely, but it will not go away on its own, which means.... I don't know? Probably more physical therapy. I don't know what else, but I should hear in a few days from my actual doctor about what the next steps are.

The zappy doc was really nice though, he explained everything clearly and answered all my questions about this that and the other thing with the tests themselves. I'm guessing he doesn't get many people who are like omg tell me what that is, what's the spiky bit mean, how does this work?

Next physio appointment is on Friday, so I'll be able to tell my therapist that it's official, so hopefully she'll start giving me more stuff to do with that focus rather than just the tendonitis.

In other news, I just got back from NY again, even though I wasn't working the con this year. It was a good time though - did some touristy stuff like MoMA and seeing the van Goghs and Monets, ate a lot of good food, as well as getting some studying done. Oh, and Drunk Dracula. Drunk Shakespeare/Dracula is always a blast and so fuckin' funny. I'm not sure what it is about those shows, but for some reason I always end up dancing on "stage" - this time with Drac himself. The narrator/Renfield/every other random character also borrowed my phone and recorded a bit - I didn't even realize that he was recording at the time. Hilariously, when he borrowed it, he saw my background and was all, "that is a BEAUTIFUL man," in character, as he continued to turn on the video recorder and do his bit. (My background is Z1L.)

Got to see a few of my friends in NY, but not as many as I would have liked. Still, it was really nice to be able to snag them in smaller groups so we could actually TALK and hear each other and chill a bit. And if Monday morning four of us knocked back two whole carafes of mimosa together, well. That's between us. And all of you. Shh.

Also went to Chinatown and hit up the bookstore. Came out with two textbooks, a translation of Le Petit Prince, and another collection of short stories that appear to be for kids but I dunno for sure what it is cuz I can't read it yet. I haven't taken a very deep dive into it, but I think it'll be a good stepping stone.

Tax class is going well; I'm over halfway done now, and scored a 95% on my first exam. It should have been slightly higher, but one of the questions was written incorrectly and even though I ran it by the teacher it still got marked wrong. Whatever. The passing grade was 70% so I don't care that much. I feel like there's still a lot that I'm not really solid on, but a lot of it is just going to come with time and practice. 

Let's see, what else. LACC was great - I worked front table for David Tennant and got to interact with a lot of happy fans. Also had the chance to tell DT how much I appreciate him standing up for trans kids and he was so lovely about that. Invited him to Shakesnight too, jokingly. That would be fuckin awesome though, heh. Didn't really see or do anything else at the con, but I did get to wander around on Friday night and picked up an absolutely adorable Derpy and Sussy art print and got to chat with one of my friends in artist alley.

Trying out a new brain therapist tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. It'll be nice to be in person again, and I hope that this one is better than my last one. He seemed pretty okay in our consult call, but *shrugs*. 

's mom's birthday today, so we're gonna go do dinner at some point, whee.
