* Today was very productive. I got the new mailbox key from the landlord, mailed swaps, changed books at the library, got Squirrel his own key, did banking, bought protein, and picked up meds. I even got to flirt with the middle aged Irish guy at the grocery store. I'm pretty sure he's straight as his flirting is more elaborate on days I'm reading as female to others.

I still have a ton of phone and paper bureaucracy I need to get through, but given how backed up everything was, I feel good about chipping away at it.
