sorry Harvey is not being cooperative, windsparrow

What amazes me is how, as soon as the medical equipment is put away, Harvey is ready to forgive and snuggle us again.

Thanks, alll.

I've been thinking about you and Daniel and Harvey. I hope he becomes resigned to the needle.

Mr Peabody's itching skin condition has flared up even worse than before. He seemed to be getting better, then worse, then better, so I kept putting off taking him to the vet. Of course, I do the same thing with my own health. I only realized last week that he had licked some places raw on his paws. I'm going to take him to the vet tomorrow, and I feel like she's going to think I'm a bad pet parent.

Ginger, I don't think the vet will think you are a bad pet parent.

Andi I'm glad Harvey is being affectionate when the medical supplies are out of sight.

I went to the grocery store and I guess I compromised on some stuff. Got into a weird argument with the cashier. I picked up some grapes because I think they were on sale for $1.99/lb which is good price, especially for black grapes. There was one small bag and I weighed it and the scale said 1 lb. Okay great.

But it rang up at $3.99/ lb and was really almost 1 1/2 lbs which was way more than I wanted to spend on grapes. I told her I mis read the price and I didn't want them. She told me others were on sale, I said yes, I realized that but I misread the sign and I don't want these. Rinse repeat three times before the bagger said "just void it".

I feel like I'm terrible at communicating with people.

Also got really anxious and was chalking it up to I don't know why this is what it's going to be like tomorrow (!!) when I go back to work.

But then I thought about it - it was loud between the music and all the people talking. There were some chaotic situations with large-ish families and aisles crammed with stuff and too many choices.

I won't be dealing with that tomorrow. There will things that might trigger my anxiety but the two situations aren't the same.

askye, it doesn't sound like you were the one with the communication problem in that situation.

I went to Trader Joe's today and various other errands with TCG. They did not have the beet hummus in stock. I'm beyond exhausted now, and I feel like I have suddenly gone from big to huge.

It probably was but I was talking to Will and trying to tell him..something and I had a hard time remembering the order in the days something happened Given how little stuff is happening that's understandable but I just went quiet and blank mind and he was able to figure out what I was trying to say.

It's not constant and taking the lamicatl at night I think has helped but it's annoying.

Tuesday is my birthday. I get to spend it at my therapists and then. I don't know. I was thinking of going some place decent for lunch and then see a movie but it just seems so ...sad to do that all alone.

I hate when I don't have time to keep up with Bitches and Natter. I miss so much.

Tep, Tim looks awesome in his pics. Jealous!

askye, I wanted to chime in on the non-supportive group situation. They never work for me because there is always someone who dominates the group and hijacks everything and I have never seen a moderator who could or would rein that in.

I have to leave soon to go to work. I've taken my medicine and I have to say if I didn't have the klonopin I'm pretty sure I'd be a crying mess right now.But it's just anticipation anxiety. Once I get there and get busy I'll see how I do. Four hours. I can do it. If not I have PRN meds to get me through.

You can do it, askye! Enjoy your successes.

Have a fairly decent day, askye. I wanted to say "have an excellent day" but I realized that while I have faith in your excellence, we cannot rely on the rest of the universe in that regard.
