| Project 2009: October Status Report | Nov. 4th, 2009 @ 09:35 pm |
|---|
|
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in October:
- Visited Hacklab.TO on one random day, then on an Unpatched Tuesday. Planning to become a member there in the near future, hopefully. Nifty people and a nifty environment! :)
- Got over my fear of falling in a major way climbing, and proceeded to send a number of 5.10a and a couple 5.10b routes. Having a lot more fun climbing and doing a lot better at it now that I'm climbing at/near my physical limits instead of being limited by mental ones.
Goals for the next month (I fell behind on getting goals done in October, need to catch up in November!):
- Get bloodwork done so I can up my dose of estrogen!
- Talk to CRA and try to figure out what's going on with my tax stuff. I was told around the beginning of the year there was a ~6mo backlog, but it's well over 6 months now.
- Go file whatever last divorce paperwork there is.
- Talk to my audiologist/dispenser to get my aids cleaned of playa dust and get a new hearing test, and get new earmolds made.
- Go to a New Model Circus Army jam and meet other spinners.
- Talk to people about becoming a member at HackLab.TO.

| climbing progress! | Oct. 20th, 2009 @ 09:26 pm |
|---|
|
i overcame a big fear issue last Friday climbing, and it seems to have stuck (at least through Monday's climbing session). I had gotten over a major fear piece a few months back where I had been coming down once getting ~15-20ft up. Since then I had been climbing significantly better, but I was still often coming down because I was too scared to fall while making a hard move high up, rather than trying the move anyway. On Friday I was determined to finish a 5.10b (YDS) route that I had been working on, which meant making a scary move and potentially falling (on top rope, so it's a very short fall). After telling myself this and rehearsing in my head all day Friday, I went and did it! I also climbed a 60ft 5.8 route (I had only ever done 5.6s at the 60ft level because heights still scare(d) me), and some misc. other ones that I'd been scared on.
Yesterday (Monday) I had hoped that I would still be able to climb like I did on Friday, told myself all day that I would be able to, and in the end I did! I worked on (and sent) a new ~5.9 route they put up that is on a surface that's scared me too much to finish routes in the past (it gets slanty in places and it means falls result in some swinging) and worked on/sent another 5.10b (eventually, this one took a long time and a lot of tries at a few hard moves).
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lisanys and I had talked about wanting to start lead climbing in the near future, and I got brave and asked about their classes when we were on our way out. We're now signed up on their waiting list, and should be able to do the classes in the next month or so it sounds like. Scary, but very exciting too!
Climbing is a lot more fun when you're not terrified of making the hard moves ;)Current Mood:  pleased |
| Project 2009: Plan A | Oct. 6th, 2009 @ 09:49 pm |
|---|
|
If Project 2009 has taught me anything so far, it's that I shouldn't be accepting things that are "probably as good as they'll get" if I'm not satisfied with them at that level. In talking to a number of people recently (including my mother on the weekend and my therp today) and doing a lot of thinking, I've realized that a number of my strategies to work with/around spectrumeyness issues are not working as well as they could be. In trying not to let my spectrumeyness affect me/not let it show (i.e. pretending I'm not spectrumey as best I can :P), I'm letting it affect me even worse by not working to improve my strategies. That needs to stop now, and I need to work to get beyond "probably as good as they'll get" and get to a functional level I'm happy with. There are a number of things that I've been avoiding working on over the past while:
Data Input: The easiest one! Work on learning contracted braille more. My uncontracted is good enough to be useful content-reading-wise, but being able to read at least basic contractions would greatly improve my speed (and therefore usefulness). I should be able to work on this by taking content currently in grade 1 and using sed to do single-letter contractions to start, and keep adding more things from there as I get better.
Audio Input/Filtering: Talk to my audiologist/dispenser about getting more occlusive molds to give me better control over sound input (and likely DAI boots for my aids to let me insert sound feeds without the EM interference I get from my earhooks). I need new molds *anyways*, and more occlusive ones would give me a significant advantage over my existing ones control-wise. They may not be the 'best option' for me on paper, but I know myself better than most professionals do. My current BTEs weren't the 'best option' on paper either, but they work 10x better for me than the ITEs that were 'best for me' on paper. If this one takes bringing someone (i.e. lisanys) to help advocate for me, then I need to do so.
Communication I/O (Close People): Take ASL classes again, this time with lisanys. ASL is extremely useful for communication as I can pretty much always use it no matter what state I'm in verbal/nonverbal-wise, and it's also useful in very noisy places and at random other times. I've been really scared to do this for months now, but at the present time I have no idea why that would be. It seems like it should be a good thing and not scary.
Communication Output (Random People): This is the big one, and I have no idea what to do about it. My AAC card pack (set of some preprinted and some blank dry erase cards and a marker I carry everywhere, essentially a more environmentally concious notepad :P) works acceptably for low-bandwidth communications and has served me reasonably well for many years now, but there *has* to be something that would work better than this... I just have no idea how to figure out what that is yet.Current Mood:  determined |
| project 2009 review dream! | Oct. 6th, 2009 @ 07:07 am |
|---|
|
had a very, very strange dream last night that seems to be my mind reviewing Project 2009. It involved driving, hang gliding (a lot of this), raving (in what i realized upon waking was Casey House's Jarvis street facility basement, where I did a bunch of work ~8 years ago), and getting recruited for the police. The latter isn't part of Project 2009 as far as I'm aware, but the policeman seemed insistent that I join the force, because they had far too many people that wore skirts there now, and they had identified me as a pants-wearer. *giggles* very odd.
The driving, hang gliding, and raving all make sense (stuff I've been doing since starting Project 2009), the latter I'm not sure where it came from. One thing I forgot to add into my Project 2009 update for last month (which has now been edited) was that I wore skirts and dresses on the playa! Burning Man seemed a safer place than pretty much anywhere else to do that, so I did (and am glad i did!). The skirt-related thing is probably because I was wearing skirts/dresses on the playa, but where getting recruited by the police comes from I have no idea...Current Mood:  amused |
| Project 2009: September Status Report | Sep. 30th, 2009 @ 01:37 pm |
|---|
|
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in September (on time for once!):
- Participated in Burning Man 2009! This was one of the biggest things I had planned for Project 2009, and was really amazing. I still need to write a separate post about this (I will at some point!) but it was amazing and beyond what I could have expected and I miss the playa a lot. Will definitely be returning in 2010.
- Wore dresses and skirts! The playa seemed like the safest possible place to do so, and it worked out very well. :)
- Talked to my doctor about my HRT and switched to oral instead of injectable. This gives me more time on Wednesday evenings, yay!
- Talked to my therapist about dropping down to every other week for the time being. I'm doing well overall lately and would like a bit more time on weekday evenings to do the various things I do now (yay doing things!), so this should help. I now have every other Tuesday evening off, and every Wednesday/Thursday evening off.
- Emailed my nutritionist to admit I've been having a lot of trouble following my meal plan lately, and am setting up an appointment to go talk to her about strategies to get/stay back on track.
- Got some poi and started spinning/playing/learning! This was a scary/hard thing for me to do but it's been really awesome and fun! I've spent ~30 minutes a day (except one when it was extremely windy/rainy) spinning since I got them, and am loving it. It's much like climbing in that I'll try to work out a move over and over again, analyzing what parts need to be where at what time, then after the first time I make the move successfully it's just muscle memory and I can repeat it easily.
Goals for the next month:
- Go file whatever last divorce paperwork there is, as with Burning Man recovery I didn't get a chance to in September.
- Talk to my audiologist/dispenser to get my aids cleaned of playa dust and get a new hearing test.
- Go to the next New Model Circus Army jam in a local park next Tuesday and meet other spinners.
- Visit HackLab.TO at some point and consider becoming a member there.

| » Project 2009: August Status Report |
|---|
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in August (late because of Burning Man):
- Visited thedoh's parents. I've done this once before, but this time was waaaay less stressy. Had a very good visit, yay! :)
- Completed most of my in-car driving lessons! I've done lots of in-city driving now, and it's still scary but getting less so.
- Went to Burning Man! Most of this will be covered in September (as most of Burning Man was in September) but the getting-there part can fall under August. :) I'll try to post a more detailed summary in a few more days when I'm mostly re-adapted to the non-playa world.
Goals for the next month:
- Now that my divorce is finalized, go file whatever last paperwork there is to get a certificate in case it's needed in the future.
- Talk to my audiologist/dispenser to get my aids cleaned of playa dust and get a new hearing test.
- Start getting rid of lots of older computer hardware I'm not using, so as to make room for Living Room 2.0.
- Talk to my doctor about switching from shots to pills my HRT. As long as my bloodwork results stay good after the change, this should improve my quality of life/amount of spare time/etc. some.
- Play with poi! This falls under the "scary things that seem nifty to play with but that people like me don't do", so I need to do it ;)

| » Project 2009: July Status Report |
|---|
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in July:
- Went to my driving school classroom sessions! Was really, really hard to get there the first day, and there were a lot of hard parts about being back in a school-like environment (full of 16/17 year olds too). But I got through it, and completed my required 25h of classroom.
- Went driving! Last week I drove for the first time with my instructor. Was also really really scary, but got through that too! Drove for about 45 minutes total. Next lesson is tomorrow. Not nearly as scared now.
- Started bouldering at Rock Oasis where I've been climbing top-rope with Darq and lisanys since March. Bouldering had been something that looked somewhat nifty, but has you in closer contact with people so was something I'd avoided. Darq started bouldering a few weeks ago, so it made it safer and lisanys and I started too. It's very nifty! Different than climbing lots, which is good. We tend to do some bouldering and some climbing Monday/Friday after work now, and boulder Wednesdays at lunch. It does have you in closer contact with people, but from what I've seen boulderers tend to be friendly and helpful :)
- Talked to people about wanting to learn to DJ (for the past ~15+ years) instead of hiding it like I would have before 2009 (and had been for most of my life). Picked up some second-hand gear and started learning and practicing. Not hiding stuff is much more fun than hiding everything. ;)
Goals for the next month:
- Go clothes shopping, and get some nifty clothes for raves/Burning Man/general kitrich-wearing. I wanted to do this last month, but ran out of time with everything else that was going on in my life.
- Now that my divorce is finalized, go file whatever last paperwork there is to get a certificate in case it's needed in the future.
- Go to Burning Man!

|---|
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in June:
- Went tandem hang gliding! One of the most exciting/most awesome things I've done in a long time. Planning to start learning to hang glide next year once I have the driving thing learned. :)
- Signed up for driving lessons! I start in a week and a half with classroom sessions, then do in-car lessons from end of July until Octoberish.
- Got over my fear of falling from heights climbing! I had a couple falls on 5.10a routes while I was working on them, and it helped me to get over my fear of falling. I fall fairly regularly now and take more chances on routes that I wouldn't have before. I'm enjoying climbing a lot more now that i'm not being limited by fear anymore.
- Got belay certified at Planet Granite, and climbed there. They do things a bit differently than the place we normally climb (Rock Oasis) so that was a scary thing, but did it! :)
- Filed final set of divorce paperwork. Was hard to do after the last few dealings I'd had with the courts (they do not have polite customer service...), but I managed it and it's done.
- Went to National Anthems, my (sorta) first rave. Was at Forever Young last month, but had to take off early on. This one (last night) we didn't have to take off, and had an awesome wonderful time. Next one later this month likely/hopefully ;)
Goals for the next month:
- See my audiologist/dispenser and get a hearing test done and new earmolds made (yes, still need to do this...)
- Go to all of my driving school classroom sessions and start my in-car lessons!
- Get new clothes for special situations (like climbing) other than my normal khakis and t-shirt.
Half a year of Project 2009 down! I'm extremely happy with my progress so far. I love my new and improved life! :)

(suspected links to waking reality in [])
I was going out for lunch from work, and bumped into two ex-coworkers in the PATH (TO and DL), one of whom isn't even in Toronto anymore in waking reality [i've been seeing the coworkers on twitter lately]. We decided to all go for lunch together, to the new 'city food court' that just opened. They knew about it, but I didn't because I didn't work on the PATH anymore [i don't]. We all started heading there, but they remembered you needed to buy a membership in order to get access to eat there [maybe related to needing a membership to climb at our rock climbing gym, or at MEC?], and the store that sold memberships was on the way. We headed there and it turned out the 'membership card' was a stuffie backpack that was a lunchbag! [i have a Big Bird stuffie backpack i use lately]. We headed into the membership store and they both chose memberships that were some kind of blue creature [lisanys has a cookie monster stuffie backpack i see often], and the person running the store thought a penguin one suited me better, so I got that one [i have a Tux stuffie sitting on top of my cube at work]. We went to pay and it turned out the memberships to eat at the food court were $80! I was surprised at that, but the person running the store explained that the money went to running a series of parks across the country [there's a new toronto by-law that requires stores to charge $0.05 for plastic bags, and most of them now have signs up saying that the money goes towards supporting $X_GREEN_CAUSE], and that the parks had rock climbing in them [was out rock climbing yesterday]. Someone was playing with an elephant stuffie backpack [muchtoofeminine is an effilant and i talk to her a lot], and put it on my head (not sure why), then Lisa woke me up in waking reality. As I was waking up I still felt the stuffie there, and kept trying to move it off (in my waking reality) without any success *giggle*.
Odd dream, but at least not scary ;)

At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in May (yes, i know it's late):
- Talked a lot more in my eating disorder support group. I've always found that the groups I talk more in are the ones I get more out of, but it's always been really hard to do. I asked others in the group to poke at me if I'm being overly quiet, and they started doing that. It's really been helping me notice that I'm being quiet that day, and to push myself to fix it. I've been getting a lot more out of groups the last few weeks due to it too. :)
- Got my G1 (first level of graduated licensing, like a learner's permit) driver's license! This was technically right at the end of April, but it didn't get onto my April Project 2009 summary.
- Went to Forever Young.
Goals for the next month:
- See my audiologist/dispenser to a hearing test done, my hearing aids adjusted, and new earmolds made. This has been on my list since March, but it's really scary and I've been avoiding it. The last few days I've been operating with my aids turned up as high as they'll go, and it's greatly improved my comprehension ability. I'm taking this as a sign I need another hearing test done, and probably program modifications on my aids to compensate for what's likely more loss. Really, really need to get this one done...
- Go tandem hang gliding in California.
- Stop slacking off on Project 2009. I need to be doing more scary things ;)

| » awesome weekend. lots. |
|---|
had a really, really good past few days. short on time and motivation to write a long post, so i'll just summarize it :)
chirik and aylira_tesayon flew in mid-afternoon Friday, and we all met up at Rock Oasis. we climbed together for a few hours and had a really good time. it's fun climbing in a group of 4, and especially with people we're not used to climbing with. much fun! didn't make much technical progress that day, but that's fine. aylira_tesayon, lisanys and i went out for dinner after, which was fun. aylira_tesayon being off caffeine makes a huuuuuge positive difference :) we went our separate ways after dinner, got home and crashed for the night.
saturday we met up at the normal weekly furry brunch, had foods and chatted. the original plan was to head to a kandimaking party in a park for the afternoon, but as it was thunderstorming we made alternate plans to hang out at First Canadian Place and work on kandi. got a bunch of nifty stuff made, only incident we had was security asking us not to sit on the floor, only the benches. we were fine with that (though there was limited room once the trays of supplies were on the benches), and them not kicking us out was nice. we headed to jack astors for dinner after, which was nummy (though service was slow, which was an issue as we were already running a bit late). lisanys and i headed back home for a short time to swap out backpacks, drop off the large amount of stuff we were carrying around, change, increase in cuteness, etc. spent 30mins or so at home, then headed back downtown to a rave (Forever Young). will post separately about that at some point soon, so i'll gloss over details for now. lisa and i headed off early morning, came home, crashed, and slept for ~4 hours.
got up today and headed downtown to have linner with everyone, hang out and talk for a bunch of hours, then headed back home for dinner. as we've had dinner out a lot this weekend, wanted/needed to have a normal at-home dinner. my nutritionist is already going to be annoyed at me enough about some things this weekend, don't need more reasons for her to be annoyed :P overall i've done really well with eating over the past few days though, which I'm happy about. there are some times in which there just isn't a good way to keep on-plan 100%.
overall had an awesome, wonderful weekend with lots of nifty people. squeeee!
(yes, i'm uncensoring some of my life here that i've previously avoided mentioning on lj. yay uncensoring!)

| » weird dream about my paw... |
|---|
weiiiiiird dreams last night. the one i remember best (that i just woke up from and had to check my paws) was the last one...
i dreamt that i was coming home from work (i lived with my mother and stepdad, which is odd in itself), and as I was opening the door, I noticed I'd lost part of the ring finger on my left hand! it looked like it had been that way for years, not something that just happened. i was really worried! i went inside and pulled my mom/stepdad aside to show them (my grandmother was there, and i didn't want her to know for some reason). when i was showing them what happened, i noticed that i hadn't lost it *all*, just... a part. the very tip (a few mm) was still there, in place, but then there was a couple cm of it missing! i had a *gap* in my finger... and the end was still staying in place as i was moving around. my mom seemed concerned, but didn't seem to understand why i was so worried/scared about it. my stepdad was explaining to me and her how, due to "physics", it made sense that the tip was still floating in midair. physics had "come so far since 1915" that things like this were possible. o.O
was very glad to wake up and see that i didn't have any weird gaps in my paws in real life...

At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in April:
- Still working lots on recovery from anorexia. I figure I can keep putting this under accomplished goals for at least another month or two. ;)
- Wrote more, both on LJ and on paper again. I'm finding journalling on paper (and writing paper letters to ana, my eating disorder) is helping me a lot lately.
- Did my 2008 taxes. I still have to file them, but a couple days into May is fine (CRA owes me a bunch of money due to a bunch of things that happened in 2008, so they don't care if it's in by April 30). They're done, just need mailing.
- Got my hair re-dyed! Went to a professional this time, and it came out awesome. Mostly dark purple, but just at the front it's blue on the left and pink on the right. I love it lots. Need a new LJ icon soon... My hair in the current icon is way out of date now ;)
- Talked to my mum a bunch, and came out to her about a bunch of things related to our past and our identity. Have been wanting to do that for many years now, so was really good to do so! :)
Goals for the next month:- See my audiologist/dispenser to get new earmolds done. This was on my list of goals for March and April, but didn't happen due to... well, mostly that it's really scary. It still needs to get done...
- Talk more in my eating disorder support group. I did a little better with this over the past week, I need/want to work on this a lot more though.
- Hang glide in the Toronto area, and/or set up something to do so in California when I'm there in early June.

visited my mum and stepdad today, had a very epic visit. talked to my mum for a few hours, a lot about my past and growing up and such. came out to her about being plural (she was not even a little bit surprised), about my past addiction issues, about how my eating disorder started (and learned a bunch about eating issues i've had since birth), and a bunch of other things. henry and big bird also visited with the stuffies at her house.
was a really, really, really good day. talking with my mum a lot is good lots. she says that i've seemed a lot more "like myself" the past few visits, which is a result of project 2009, trying to be myself instead of who i think everyone else wants me to be. i'm glad the positive changes are noticable to others too, and not just myself :)

| » climbing update! |
|---|
i completed my first 5.9 (YDS) climb today at Rock Oasis! very proud of myself, was a lot of work physically and mentally to get to the top. learned a bunch too:
- using legs instead of arms whenever possible saves a lot of hand/arm strength. using arms for balance and weight shifts, and legs where possible to make vertical progress means getting tired less quickly.
- resting frequently is key. typically in the past if I'm having trouble getting past a point, I'll come down to the ground and rethink it. today I would hang out (literally) for a bit and ponder what my next moves would be, then get back on the wall and execute them. wouldn't have made it up if I'd come down every time I got stuck a bit.
- i should be pushing myself to climb until i get to the top or fall. by backing down if I can't find a move, I'm not learning as much. If I think I can't find a move, I should try *something* that I think might work, because then I'll learn what works better. It helped today, doing that more.
- I had a real fall for the first time today. was working on a harder 5.9 (most holds on it require pulling yourself up on mostly finger/hand strength, as you have to grip holds that are upside down/sideways) earlier in the day and went to move to another hold with one hand, losing my balance in the process. was really, really scary as i fell (it's a 60ft climb, so there's ~100 feet of rope to stretch when you fall), but right after it was "oh yeah, i have a rope!". need to be falling more to get used to it, and to learn things (by pushing myself hard enough that I end up falling).
- my harness is awesome. i hung around a lot in it today resting and falling, and it's extremely comfy.
- practiced balance stuff a bunch on each climb, figuring out where my weight needed to be to make it to the next hold, and how to move to adjust my balance in that way. still need a lot more practice figuring it all out, but it's coming along.
- I'm getting much more comfortable yelling things down to my belayer. It's hard for me to be loud, and that's been a problem communication-wise, but lisanys and i communicated a lot more today even 40ft up. we started using more standard sequences of phrases during climbing starts, rests, and re-starts today, to make sure we both understand what's happening. this helps not only in safety, but also in that i have a smaller 'dictionary' of phrases to try to identify when I'm far away from the other person and I can't speechread.

| » odd dream about climbing |
|---|
dreamt last night that i was at MEC with lisanys looking for a new climbing harness (not sure why, i already have one that i love!). we were trying on different sizes, and she started making fun of me for the size of the one i needed! (she would never do that in real life!) she was teasing me about the fact that my harness was 145sq. ft., where hers was a small. my brain likely combined the square footage of a Falcon 3 (145 sq. ft.) in my size with a harness size (possibly related to the fact that we're climbing this morning)... my brain is weird.

At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in March:
- Working lots on recovery from anorexia. It's been really, really hard a number of times this month, but I'm managing. It's even getting to the point where my eating patterns as they are right now are starting to feel 'normal'. Still have a long way to go, but I'm doing it. :)
- Tried indoor rock climbing. As was one of my goals for the month, I went climbing with lisanys and Darq a few weeks back. I loved it! I've since bought my own gear (harness, shoes, chalk bag) and we've made it a twice-weekly event ever since. I had some fear issues at first (around falling from heights), but worked on it in therapy and in group, and got over the issues. This past week had little to no issue at all. Climbing is awesomefun and good strength excercise.
- Started planning specifics for Burning Man. Bought tickets, and started thinking more seriously about the plans for it. Started to work on a prototype shelter, to work out construction/design details for the real one.
- Wrote more on LJ. I had zero posts in February (other than the status update for Project 2009), and 6 posts in March. Yay!
Goals for the next month:- See my audiologist/dispenser to get new earmolds done. This was on my list of goals for March, but didn't happen due to busyness around work (and because it's scary). I do still need to get this done.
- Do my 2008 taxes. This seems like a normal thing, but it's a big deal for me.
- Get my hair re-dyed. Because I need it re-bleached and such, it'll need to be somewhere professional. Will be scary, but I'll do it :)
- Work out plans to go tandem hang-gliding in May.

the final implementation phase of a project i've been working on at work since August was today/yesterday, and it went really well overall! as much as I dislike working 0600-0130, seeing a big project all come together is really awesome. almost done now, just a couple final things to finish up. the next shift then comes on tomorrow morning and tests everything. *crosses fingers she doesn't get paged at 0500*
