ita, not to sound crazy, but double vision sounds like something to bring up with a doctor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice one.
I don't want to read about TB any more, you guys. But I haven't done my work about it yet! wah wah wah.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In the past, I've developed double vision during periods of stress, particularly stress and exhaustion.

Same here. But I recommend that you don't follow my example and just hope it goes away, because I've been told that's not the greatest of plans.
ION, let me vent about a petty thing! Is it unreasonable of me to think that if someone is good enough friends with me to repeatedly ask if I'm free for lunch, they should know me well enough to also be aware that asking if I have any free time to just, y'know, hang out THE WEEKEND BEFORE HALLOWEEN is kind of pointless?
Like I said, petty. But good lord, people living on the moon know that Halloween weekend is the busiest time of the year for Goths!

Burrell, I emailed you this morning, but possibly I have an outdated email? My profile address is good...

Crap, I just had two projects (one small and one fucking enormous) maybe fall apart.

And my boss is in training, won't be back in the office until Friday.

Just replied meara! It's been a crazy day with only a few moments to check in here and on email. And email had gotten ugly (as in 20 new emails every hour) so I stopped checking it. oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Consuela, I feel your panic. I'm crossing my fingers for not yours not having gone totally pear-shaped (WTF does that really mean? I need to go look that up--for some reason I'm thinking nuclear blast cloud...)
My boss just called to see if I was too dead to go live this weekend, and I told him they could be slicing me open on the operating table (way to go to obscure the nature of my actual health issues) and we'd still go live. "BTW, ita ! you sound horrible." Thanks! Don't care! We go live, no matter how many screens I'm seeing.
And, unsurprisingly, nothing got done on any of my projects while I was away. It's like a rigor set in, or more likely--they forget that I'll be nagging them more if there's still shit to be done when I come back, so skiving when I'm gone doesn't actually pay off.
I seem to have ditched Microsoft Project as a planning tool. First off, no one I'm communicating with has it (license cleanup a few months ago--cost me Snag It, dammit), so I'm printing to PDFs all the time, and then there was just a legibility issue. So now I'm doing different iterations of Excel (each project is a column, each row is a day, highlight the days I need to submit documentations (Weds) and the days we can deploy regularly (Sunday), and suddenly I can see 6 projects at once. Hallelujah!
I sent another email to neuro saying this week, still clusterfuck, next week, still no plan to make it less clustery a fuck next week.
He's not good with replying. Pessimistic. I have a pain doc appointment next week. He's going to be all "So? T-900?" I will ask him to order it, but not schedule it, and that way I can at least find out how much it would cost. That will certainly help me think.
