Oh Shir. It's all so pointless and upsetting.
Patch is a cutie, Pix. I hope he's quickly back on all four paws and ready for his new, permanent family. And may Kaylee get over her displaced elder sibling snit.
He is so happy being in a home with people who love and pay attention to him—he just wants to snuggle. And Kaylee actually quite likes him; they're getting along fine for the most part, playing and running around together. I'm just working on her MINE tendencies. We've started by taking away all toys and making her lie down and stay whenever I give Patch something to play with, but she's been an only dog for two years, so I imagine it will take a little time.
Vibing hard for Shir and Nilly (and everyone in the path of the war).
I know you said you don't need the hugs. But you get the brackets anyway! {{{{ Shir }}}}. Let's see what they can be used for:
- keeping you from shivering in the "cold" shelter
- restraining you from slugging your fellow student (because violence about violence is just wrong)
- because we all are worried about you, and want to keep you safe anyway that we can
And when peace breaks out, the brackets are still there for you, to help with any PTSD that may linger, from being in a constant state of fear/run for shelter/duck n cover/whatever you want to call it. Stay sane! And may this skirmish end soon. Like. NOW! please!
~ma to erika and Anne. Also safety~ma to Shir and Nilly.
I still don't have my Abilify. Last night I stayed up way too late, took my medicine too late, and then freaked out I left my phone at the restaurant - until I found it on the couch. Where I had it because I was knitting and looking at the pattern on the phone.
However, I did get out and walk some so out of the house and exercise. tomorrow I'm going to the yarn shop for help and I'll probably walk. If the weather is nice.
Shir, thank you for keeping us updated, and I'm so sorry, scared, horrified for you and for everyone else caught up in the violence. My thoughts are with you.
Askye, my biggest issue with Abilify was the cost. My insurance would "cover it" but it was still crazy expensive. My doc was able to give me a coupon that dropped the cost for the first two refills - mainly to see if it helped me. Which it did. I just couldn't afford to continue to use it.
I'm on the state medicaid plan right now so if I have a co pay it will probably be minimal. It also means they probably really really don't want to pay for Abilify. But my doctor has good documentation that other stuff either hasn't worked, given me bad side effects, or made me manic/have anxiety attacks and he really wants me on either Abilify or if that doesn't work the Sassify drug (which, I guess is even harder to get approved).
It's like 6 weeks until xmas and I hve 1 present knitted. I've got one almost finished, I've got a pair of slippers with 1 slipper done, I need to go tomorrow and get help getting it sewn, then it's going to be felted. But I have to finish the other. Omigod this pattern should be easy but it kicked my ass but I think I finally have it down. It should have only taken me a few hours, tops, but I kept having to undo rows and stuff.
It strikes me that a likely side effect of Sassify is Castiel boning Sam.
I hope that you and yours stay safe, Shir, and that the fighting ends quickly.
Hey guys. Just thinking of Shir and Nilly and wanted to stop by and hug you.
