I don't have to go into work tomorrow! Yay!!
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, IME offers to babysit went unfulfilled unless said person also gave me a reason to leave the baby for a bit of me time. Like the person who offered to babysit while I went to get a backrub? Yeah, baby!
Ooh, that is a good one. I kept saying they should just go to the bar up the street and have a burger and a beer! They were like, eh.
Yay, Tom!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, that was the most pointless doctors appointment ever. Him: "Your thyroid levels are normal, see? (point at paper) You don't have to come see me again." Me: "Then why am I still feeling this horrible? And why were my levels high on the previous test?" Him: "You were only a five on the previous test. People don't show symptoms at that level." Me: "Then why was I showing symptoms? And why am I?" (note: several other doctors have said that I'm pretty obviously hypothyroid.) Him: "Thyroid symptoms are very vague. Just try to get some exercise, and don't worry about it."
I'm seeing another doctor next week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jessica, strength to you and your family.
Hil, sometimes it's hard to see why some people are in the doctoring profession. I mean, I can tell you to feel better too, but who cares? "You shouldn't be feeling unwell therefore you aren't" is hardly worthy of the training. Not that my doctors are curing me, or anything, but at least they believe in a problem beyond the scope of their tests.

Oh, Hil. I'm so sorry. I'm really glad you're seeing another doctor, though, this is so frustrating. You know yourself best, though. Keep fighting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's incredibly aggravating.

Glad you have another doctor to see, Hil. Ugh.
