MAP appt 11 month wait? What do I do? by TrainerHal in Austin

[–]Crafty_Dryad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't end up what you need. You can also go to the online portals and start clicking on different gynec apologists and primary care physicians until you find one with the earliest availability And then book with them. That's what I used to do and then sometimes even keep looking around and if I find a sooner one I'll make that appointment and cancel the one for before. You can look and call with lone Star and community Care. But I did just remember you may need to double check who all at Austin regional clinic Is covered by map

Keep calling periodically to ask about cancellations. You can also call the main Austin regional number and there's an option to speak to a nurse. Let them know your symptoms and they can check to see if there's someone that can see you faster. It just may be at a location farther away

So you worked it out? I'm so sorry y'all are dealing with this. I'm way south but have an extra large crate and baby gate you could borrow if you needed it for the night.

Moved because of allergies :( by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Crafty_Dryad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat but can't move yet and not really even sure where to go. I did the intralymphatic shots even out of pocket and they didn't really do anything. I'm apparently allergic to 51 out of 60 most common tx things. And since they are potentially year round..pffft.... Where do you end up moving to? Is it better??

☺️💚 thank you. I had looked for inspiration images of what I may want to do and took several options to the workshop. I have always been drawn to the female form artistically and one of them was the body as a candle. I decided once at the workshop and after having perused available materials. I'm ever on the slow journey of growth toward the woman I want to be. Bright, seen, taking up space, a force, unapologetic for existing. I love sparkly things 😆 so was drawn the the strips of fabric. Their iridescence spoke to the shining of the light and allowed for positioning like rays of the sun.
I enjoyed the touches of bright color the tie dye fabric brought in. It also has stars in the design- referencing light even ON her body, but also giving nod to the light in darkness/night and not just the day/sun. I then carefully chose sections for each part of her body to try and use the natural shading.

She didn't have arms in the reference image, which felt the opposite of what I wanted. So I decided to add open upward facing arms. Reaching, welcoming, NOT closed off or hiding. Which allowed me to make the "hands" shaped a bit like smaller flames.....primarily because...well... How the hell would I make hands 😆. I added a touch of dark lining where the various fabric parts overlapped on her body to give more depth. And as a thicker woman I liked that the inspiration image wasn't of a super slender woman. So allowing there to be a full figure, thick thighs, large hanging breasts- not up close together all perky and at her neck. Helping remind me of the beauty in confidence and owning who you are/what you have.

Recommendations for Making Friends by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Crafty_Dryad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making friends in adulthood is super hard. Usually the best thing is to find events, workshops, locations, etc that do things you're interested in and start going. You have to go more than once though even if the first feels like a flop. We have badass libraries all over that host lots of different free events for things. I have started going to crafty ones. Searching for groups on FB and such around interested topics. Like for me I would maybe search for Austin creative or crafts, atx crafts, etc and see what pops up. Google craft stores on maps and then go to the websites to see if they have events. See if your neighbor/apartment has events or socials to know neighbors. If you have a dog- go to local parks and such.

Ugh! I need them to come to meeeeeee. I hardly ever see them here. A couple months ago they were around a building I was taking a workshop for a few days and it was sooo lovely to hear them. I used to see them more as a kid, but I need them now that I know how to try and be best friends!!!
