Daily things: workout, Mylène Farmer, tons of other music

Health

Wow, I was super tired yesterday! Probably the aftermath of the concert. No big deal, I stayed inside with my knitting.

We still did a workout TOGETHER WITH MATH. It was great to have him join me. :)

Music

Hah, I don't know how we ended up talking about Mylène Farmer but I listened to some. It was weird! I was a big fan of hers when I was a kid -age 7 I think? Let's say I was interested by gender queer and kinky people at a very early age. :D My parents never kept me from listening to her but they were probably worried. I have vivid memories of all the spanking in her videos. :P

This is probably the first record I bought with my own money :D

Here's the video (it's awfully long):

"Mylène Farmer - Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" (Watch on YouTube)

I lost interest at some point and I'm only very little aware of what she produces after her two first albums. Exception made of "Désenchantée" which stuck with me for some reason (well, it's a good tune and the video is pretty intense), and I had a very vivid dream featuring that song about a year ago.

Apart from this trip down memory lane, which left Math bemused I think, I listened to Curve, Rotersand (workout music, whoo :P), Trust, Gabi Delgado, Mr. Kitty, V▲LH▲LL, Cocteau Twins - Garlands...

Crafting

Here's the qiviut cowl:

 

I ended up knitting it double after two attempts to find gauge with a single lace thread. I don't want a floppy cowl, I want enough stiffness so it doesn't droop onto my chest, and I couldn't get that with a single. Good thing I had two cones!

I also dyed my ankle socks in black, and re-dyed my Viajante. I didn't particularly like the gray and red job I had done. It's now almost all black, with some gray and red peeking through. Much better!

Panic

Aaah, I am so stressed out because I'm seeing a new gyno for the first time tomorrow. I couldn't get an appt with the one I wanted (who's recced on a website listing feminist and progressive gynos [Edit: link added] in France) but it's her colleague in the same office. 

I've been trying to get my tubes tied for the past 8 years. I was told to wait till I was 30 by my former gyno (who retired last December) and at 30 she told me to wait till I was 35 bc no surgeons would agree to the procedure.

I just want my agency. Is it too much to ask for?

Ugh.
