Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I made vegan gefilte fish. It's an OK vehicle for horseradish. Needs way more flavor, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They just say they won't do it.

What? Why?

ita, you need a better Pain management clinic!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not clear on their rationale. I'm hobbling myself by trying to stay within the UCLA network. Because if I get a pain clinic outside, their recommendations to the ER carry no weight. So...I got nothing either way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

but if you get a good pain management clinic and treatment, maybe you won't need to go to the ER?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

God, ita. Suck suckity sucking suck. Why don't things work the way they ought to? Why won't they prescribe? That's ridiculous.

sarameg, my sister had to take one of her cats to the emergency vet this morning with low blood sugar. She thinks the cat might have had a ministroke. They adjusted the cat's insulin dose. Glad Mr. Kitty's feeling better, hope he continues to recover.

I have no words for ita's clinic.

So while I was at the emergency vet (the one in Towson) it stormed. And I guess though the door was dry to the touch, it wasn't fully cured. I have some bubbly spots where water was streaming down it. Sigh. Well, I had a few places that needed a third coat, so just add these to the list, after I sand it smooth.

It was a busy weekend anyway, but I'm just done with it. And I still have a load of laundry I need to throw in. Oh, and I haven't checked the basement for water.

And my pool was closed.

MK's had mild blood sugar crashes before but never ever as bad as this. Which is why I thought it might be something else, since he wasn't responding to sugar.

I'm probably repeating myself. I just ate for the first time today, have a bit of a sunburn, and really? Today was long.

Why don't things work the way they ought to? Why won't they prescribe?

A mixture of the fucking war on drugs and the fucking racist assumptions that play into the fucking war on some drugs (WOSD). In short anyone with major pain med needs runs into problems due WOSD, but because ita is black she gets even worse treatment than someone who is white would get. ita you are specifically on UCLA network?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor you, Sara! I hope Mister Kitty bounces back better than ever.

What the fucking fuck, ita. The pain people are supposed to be against pain, yeah?

I am so tired I might fall over. Luckily now I'm on the couch, but this weekend was a little too much for the introvert I've turned into. (I'm naturally on the border.) Easter church was magnificent, Easter dinner had among its highlights smoke bellowing from the oven for an extended period (the food still needed to be cooked!) and my three-year-old cousin puking a really impressive amount. Luckily, she did it in the kitchen, the one room with no rugs....

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

That sucks so much, I can't even, ita. I go all the way to NY to see a neurologist I like, but I only need to see him once or twice a year, so it's a totally different situation.

I just want you to find a situation that works for you, so much.

sarameg, I'm so sorry.

I'm spending the end of Easter Sunday with my favorite baby and her family. I'm going to kidnap this baby someday. They won't suspect a thing, except that I keep talking about it.
