Tea:

It's so cold today and all my joints are mad about it. On the plus side after several attempts, ltc is finally napping, and I'm hoping it lasts for more than 10 minutes.

My new strategy at work is just to bug people until they give me what I need. What is up with people only answering the first question in an email and ignoring the rest? I'm going to start doing that too, since it seems to be protocol.

I went out and was social to a coloring book club thing. I plan on going to dinner next Friday with some of them. It was a little nerve wracking but it was fun.

Fot some reason I haven't been as scared about being judged.

Also I have to go by the bank tomorrow because they keep sending things to my mailing and physical a dress including checks.

Have you been going by Skye?

Yes I have. I'm still getting used to it but it's nice. In an odd way I think it might help with my anxiety with meeting new people.

Ow. Woke up, and everything hurts. And I ran out of pain med. There's a new paper prescription waiting for me at my doctor's office, so I need to go pick that up, then bring it to the pharmacy and get it filled, but just getting up off the couch right now feels like it will use up most of my spoons.

Very glad I don't have to be at work today. No classes or office hours today, and I had some stuff that I was going to do at the office, but it can all be done at home or on Monday.

Middle aged female rant: I'm so tired of having to consult my bladder so often. Getting on the road after work: pee first. Get home after driving for 20-30 minutes: pee. Changing tasks after sitting for a while, shift the body: pee. Decide not to be a slave to my bladder and teach it some patience: hounded by the nagging urge that I'm going to have to pee soon. Organizing the day's errands: which store has the most convenient restrooms. Being told it's your turn for the two-hour training: pee first.

But I'll be damned before I take another drug for the purpose of regulating it. I'm doing enough to my body's systems without mucking with that one.

Talk about going with the flow, right? Although it is different for me, I have many days where my bodily functions do kind of take over, and it never really does get easier. Maybe there's a supplement that could help? Or maybe you could find a way to frame it in your head that is a little less master-slave(although sometimes I feel like my own evil twin so I don't want to be one of those "It's your attitude that *really* matters!1" assholes.(But it matters a little, I think, although everyone should get to rant without getting badgered to turn her frown upside down.)

I have no concept of what life is like when you don't have to organize your day around bathrooms and such. Which is not to say you shouldn't rant, it's rant worthy.
