Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

annoying co-worker got reprimanded for something, stormed out of the building crying, and is now sniffling at her desk.

Please people, if you are miserable where you work, please try to find another job. No good comes from staying miserable where you feel unwanted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just like the concept of the pizza-ordering refrigerator magnet. All win!

I feel like they never help with weird things like this and that sometimes their guess is as good as mine about what is going on!

When it come to rashes and other skin things, that's often true. And I'm pro going to doctors, but not for things I can usually treat myself.

Which reminds me, I have a freckle on my forehead that looks suspicious. I should call the dermatologist. grumble.

I've been watching new moles appear pretty regularly, and it's beginning to make me nervous.

I gather that the Supreme Court may deliver their verdict on Obamacare today or this week. I'm already depressed.

Same here Amy. I know they get bigger often as you grow older, but this one is new. icky.

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

I really should get someone to look at my freckles. But I'm so consumed with the other health stuff, I have no responsible thoughts on the matter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oof. Finally caught up in Natter.

So my anxiety and depression has been getting worse for the last 6 or 8 months, and after much foot-dragging, I finally made an appointment with my shrink to get new meds. (My meds tend to drop off in effectiveness after 12 to 18 months, at which point I get different meds. It's now been about 18 months since I got the last prescriptions.)

I made the appointment a few weeks ago and since then my anxiety and depression is much worse. I'm having problems sleeping and I rarely feel like leaving my apartment. I missed work part of last Thursday and all of Friday due to feeling crappy.

Anyway, I just have a week to go for my appointment, so I'm pretty sure I can make it to then. I just need to keep dragging myself to work....

So I might not be posting here as much for a bit.

eta: I'm not near the point of being a danger to myself and others....

freckle/mole people, go get looked at. I had my appt already this year or I would schedule an appt to go in also. I will schedule my mamo, if you all schedule your dermos.

Yeah, tommy, check in when you can this week, okay?
