I just wrote an email to one of the engineers, "for the hundredth time, you have to do X before Y can happen." I was careful to delete the 100th time stuff before I hit send, but man, it felt good to even say it.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Thrive to spite them
Maybe the new doctor will look at things with fresh eyes and give you the medication you need. Hope that's what happens.
I went to the doctor today and it went better than expected. Last visit the doctor was rather dismissive about my concerns about possible thyroid problems. This time though the tests were on my side - since September there's been enough change to indicate I probably have hypothyrodism. My shrink didn't do one test so my doctor had me go back for blood work for the 1 test that wasnt' done and to recheck the test he did. But she seemed confident that she'd be starting me on a supplement and I'd have to follow up in 3 months.
The lithium will probably make it worse as I keep taking it but that's something I'm going to have to deal with.

Ok, could you people just remind me that I don't suck? I am just so ready to not have drama in my life. Literally, if it is not one thing it is another

Stephanie you totally don't suck! You deal with a sucky ex-husband, and with three kids (who dont' seem to suck...thanks to YOU) and help people live in this country! You rock.

Thank you. Sammy's father has been a total jerk to me yesterday and today. I just feel like I deserve it because I made such bad choices even though I know it isnt true. But I also just feel like I let Sammy down in someway (eta: like i owe hom an applogy for having such a bad father) even though I know he wouldn't exist without his father, lame as he is.
I just make such bad choices.

But even if his father is being a dumb-butt, he has awesome extended family, right? Sammy has that, at least! Plus, he doesn't have to deal with your ex...:)

That is very true. They are awesome. His father has a girlfriend who just found out about Sammy and is making my life miserable. The answer is to not pick up the phone but I didn't see it coming. I wont again. It's just so trashy and embarrassing....it just makes me feel dumb. And alone.

Tell the crazy bitch to step off, and take it up with her boyfriend--you are not the problem!

Stephanie, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Sammy is an adorable, and by all evidence very happy, boy who is lucky to have you as his mom.

Can I like your post?
I also lost a case today that I think I should have one. I know why we lost but still, an all around shitty day. The one good news is that Sammy is almost walking. He's taking two steps between things. It's very cute.
