I can't imagine ever posting my status. But then again, they don't have the Samantha Baker option, to wit "I've been here my whole life and I'm like a disease." I thought it would get better as I got older too. Turns out that's a mom lie like "They're just jealous."
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

I am up way too early on a Sunday for a regular fasting blood test (not the drink test). I'm not even allowed to have water.

Our wings are not tired.
How did the test go yesterday, sj? Do you look like a pincushion?
It has been a week or so at Casa Holt. Super stress all round. The building where my office was got sold and things did not go well with the new landlord so now I have 5 desks in the 2 north bedrooms of my house. It actually looks pretty good, and I am in favor in general of having the office at home. The whole moving an incredible amount of stuff, and lawsuits, and all that stuff, so not fun.
The whole moving thing was only a little bit stressful compared to more drama with #1 son. He showed up at my door Friday night in a bad state. No shirt, just gym shorts and slides. Sweating from running here and in a state of panic. Drug induced paranoia. His eyes were jumping all over and his face twitching and grimacing. After talking to him for about an hour I took him to the hospital. He was admitted on Saturday to the psych ward, voluntarily. Or you know not so much since he only did so because I asked him to. Well, that hasn't been so good. They want to give him medication and he refuses, and I refuse. His history with medication is bad. He has opposite reactions to stuff, as in Demerol makes him hyper and caffeine puts him to sleep. Lots of stuff doesn't work at all. He needs to have one of those DNA screenings where they determine how his chemistry reacts to different classes of meds. I am not going to have them play lotto with his brain when chemicals are what got him into trouble. He is fine, and I can totally handle him on my own, but although he no longer is high or anything, he still is mad at me for not believing him about the government agents that harassed him when he was tripping. So, still having issues.
And of course it is Monday and I have to work. But if I can get him out I am going to go stay with my sister. My brother worked at a state hospital in NY for 20 years in detox and is really good at this stuff. B respects and likes him so this should be okay.
Not a great weekend. I sincerely hope to hear tales of great weekends from the rest of you!

Oi Laura, that is a hell of a week.
I really hope things get sorted with your son.

Oh, Laura. I hope he can get the help he needs.
I wish I could give you great tales, but other kinds of drugs are kicking my ass.

{{{{{Laura}}}}} I'm sorry. I really hope he can get help. All sorts of ~ma to you and to him.

Only one draw yesterday. I may be going for the longer test with multiple draws tomorrow because my other doctor's appointment was cancelled. That would make three major medical appointments this week, which is really freaking me out. I'm supposed to go to RI today to see my friend's twins, but I'm not sure if I can do it.

Laura, I am really sorry to hear that, and wishing you all the luck in the world.
I've been in a psych ward once, and partied hard in college. Never had a bad trip myself, but I've talked a lot of people down, and driven a couple to the hospital, having had to subdue them (with help) and get knives and such away from them. It's no fun at all, and really traumatic.
You need anything, doll, you got it.

They're not making me go for the longer test. They're just diagnosing me with GD. So now I have to go two more appointments to learn what to eat and how to test my blood sugar. Do not want. And of course, they can only do these things on Friday when I have my newly rescheduled Urology appointment.

Aw Laura. My heart aches for you. Give Brendon my love.
