~ Caught up on episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The fact that I'm not a kid doesn't make that show any less awesome.
~ Apparently getting chest reconstruction will set me back about $7,500 plus whatever it costs to travel to Ontario and back. Which puts that firmly out of my price range for the foreseeable future. I could theoretically lose enough weight to get to a BMI of 27 or under, and then my provincial health plan might be willing to help with a reduction that would take of 1-3 cup sizes, but that's a solution that requires about as much time and effort as the reconstruction, without the benefit of actually having my chest properly reconstructed. I'm unfortunate enough to live in 1 of the 2 provinces where gender reassignment surgery isn't covered by a provincial health plan, so I can either get a half-assed solution for free, or pay out of pocket for what I really need and want.
I didn't think something could be so hopeful and yet so depressing at the same time...
~ Had a really tasty chicken lasagna for supper! It was a prepackaged one, not one that I made myself, but it was a good price and really good, so I'd probably buy it again when I'm in the mood to eat decent food but not to cook it from scratch.
Though cooking a chicken lasagna from scratch might be fun too.
~ Once again, slept way too late for comfort. I think it was partly because it was so hot again, and I have a hard time sleeping in the heat. It's supposed to be much cooler for the rest of the week, so I hope that helps me get to sleep sooner so I'm not wasting a good chunk of the night just trying to get out of bed.
