Sara's nickname is MonkeyPants, just FYI.

I'm going to have to take a week's vacation, and not work, and unplug and turn off everything, and spend a few days just painting and reading and reconnecting with who I really am.

That sounds like a really good idea.

I spoke to my boss and she understands and is supportive of me taking a leave. I think all that's left to do is for me to call the emergency psych number and hope for the best. I'm exhausted, I was too paranoid to leave work early after talking to my boss, and I don't know why. But I think that was some progress.

That's definitely some progress. Good, and good on her for being supportive.

Allyson, all I can wish you is the best and hope you get the support you need. And I'm really happy you had the wherewithal to do this, because that is epic against what bureaucracy you've faced.

I haven't even managed to get a PCP. In well over a decade. So.

It's always one step at a time, Allyson. I'm glad you're getting support from work.

Good luck, Consuela!

Good grief, msbelle!

Good lord, ita !

Gud = bad!

Some days I am extra happy to work from home periodically, because that breaks momentum. Uh, bad momentum.

Watching Grey's--I am always expecting shows to follow the law of conservation of fortunes, therefore implying the millionaires won't be that way for any meaningful time?

Tip of the hat to pop culture references old and new, though.

Allyson , good luck with each step

'Suela, best of luck

Oh, oh, I forgot to watch Grey's last week. It was supposed to have music on it from my favorite band. Shoot.
