I'm currently sick with strep! 4th time in a year, doc said maybe it's time to get the tonsils out. I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea - outside of the last 2ish years I feel like I don't get strep all that often. Anyone else have their tonsils out as an adult? What was your experience?

I don't know why, but I've been in a particularly good mood this week. My boss is out of town, which definitely helps, and Christmas went relatively okay which is nothing short of a miracle (only one person had a breakdown, and it was at the very end, and it wasn't even me!*)

In any case, I'm glad to be in better spirits after a really rough November and December, seasonal depression hit hard this year.

*For anyone curious (and because I feel like oversharing for once); it was my mom after I called her out on her complete lack of effort to gender me correctly. It was an accumulation of various other things going on in her life that triggered the breakdown; her mom's health is rapidly deteriorating and she's dealing with my very depressed younger brother who still lives at home. She took it a bit rough on the spot, but afterwards asked me to send her resources to learn more, she's been listening to a few podcasts hosted by queer people, and she says she looks forward to talking to me more in depth about gender. I'm lucky to have decent parents.
