Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Are there exercises you can't physically do by yourself, or are you having trouble with motivation?
There are exercises I can't do by myself, machines I can't get on and off of without help at the gym, and other exercises that I can't do (like the exercise ball) that I'm unable to do without someone there to catch me if I fall. I could in theory hire a personal trainer to help me, but I can't afford that. The PT is 100% covered by my insurance and they are giving the PT people no problem about continuing to cover me. It sounds like it is more of an internal bureaucracy problem, where they can't justify continuing to see me after they have shown me all the exercises. I feel like I am being treated like an able bodied person with an injury that only needed limited help rather than a person with a permanent disability that may always need at least a little bit of help.

P-C, I meant to say I'm sorry that you are continuing to have problems with your mother. If you can block all of your family on facebook from seeing posts about your family, that would probably be for the best.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I've been thinking of setting up a filter that filters out all my family except my brother.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Damn, sj. That's not right. Will your doctor go to bat for you, if the other PT won't?

They pretty much ignore me. Marley's on your hat.
Okay, I just talked to my landlord. Turns out he didn't realize that the water was off - there's a bit of a language/accent barrier. So he had already contacted a plumber and is going to call him again to see when he can get there. And he said he'd do whatever necessary to get the water back on, which I'm taking to mean that he will pay the fine. That makes me feel a little better about my landlord, actually. Here's hoping it's back on before my next guest gets here, on Monday!

Our wings are not tired.
Smonster, I am pretty sure it's illegal to have a tenant living without water this long. I am glad you have Nora and Tom, but still. What if you didn't? It's untenable.

Thank goodness smonster! Yay for imminent water and responsible landlord.
Wow. You know that wall that you hear so much about hitting?
I've just found it.
SMACK!
Having awakened at 2, getting up to work and pretty much running since then, I've suddenly gone all puddin' head...to the degree that I'm having a really hard time typing.
It's only 5:30! I can't go to bed, can I? But, I cannot brane.
Crap. What am I going to do?

I really don't know. She has only been my PCP since I have been married. I like her, she listens and she is efficient, but I don't know if she will be willing to go to bat for me on this. Lea also suggested talking to the head of the PT department if I get nowhere with the assistant PT, since that is who my lead PT is blaming for this.
And, getting back to your previous question, the other thing I don't feel like I can do on my own in periodically re-evaluate how I am doing, what I still need to work on etc.
I'm starting to feel really depressed about all this. Why does everything always have to feel like one step forward and two steps back?

Oh, and yay for progress on the water situation!

Yeah, he loves sitting on that hat. It was on the table near the kitchen, and he sat on it there all the time. Then I moved it and he set up shop in the office. Hat sitting. What are you gonna do?
It's a bit of a relief that he didn't actually understand the gravity of the situation, just from a scuzzball slumlord POV. Glad he does now.

Not to sound like a downer, but I have found that most of life for me feels like this a lot of the time.
God. My stress levels are absolutely stretched out to the max. WHAT is going on? I'm beginning to think that vacation cannot come soon enough or last long enough. At this point I think I'm in a feedback loop - being stressed out about my stress.
