hello ~~Cleveland~~ Beehaw! happy to be joining this pleasant little corner of the internet.

good news: I'm in the process of buying a house, after renting my whole life up to now. got lucky that the first home I toured in-person (after viewing probably 100+ homes on Zillow) I liked enough to put in an offer, and had the offer accepted. now I'm just going through inspection and mortgage approval crap.

bad news: I broke my big toe. not broken broken, apparently just a tiny chunk of bone flaked off where the ligament is attached. I put off going to the doctor about it, because I woke up with my toe swollen and painful, Dr. Google suggested that it was probably gout, and I didn't want to bother with a doctor visit if it was just going to be a lecture about eating healthier. so I hobbled around on a broken toe for almost 2 weeks before going in for X-rays and getting told it was broken. now I'm crossing my fingers that it'll heal up on its own in the Fancy Medical Shoe they gave me, and I won't have to have surgery on it. and it's a good reminder that sometimes I need to push past my ADHD and medical anxiety and go to the doctor anyway.
