Sending lots of support, Steph. You've had a rough year. You're not failing, even though it feels that way sometimes.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Tep, as I tell myself all the goddamn time, you can only do what you can do, and sometimes that isn't very much, or what you think of as enough. That is a thing that happens and not really your fault. You really do have to take your own oxygen mask first.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of support, Steph. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

You can only do your best...I've had whole years where I was just kind of treading water(Yes, I know that, and still kind of give myself a hard time for it, but hopefully that won't happen for you.) It does suck that an orange bigoted fucknut like Trump gets to act like he feels good about himself, though I bet that he doesn't actually.

Teppy, you really are amazing human being. I'm sorry things are so difficult right now and I hope they' get better soon.
I was up most of the night with terrible joint pain, which hasn't really stopped. My inlaws are here and I'm hiding in my room trying not to cry because I don't want anyone to check on me. I suppose it is time to talk to my doctor again and see if there is anything that will help and also tell her my current dose of ADs is no longer helping.

So I like the CVS minute clinci here. Not so keen on my doctors office who never called me back after I left a message about wanting to follow up on my hand and arm.
The doctor at the clinic took one look and said "I'm not going to count this as a visit. It looks great. Healing well. Take benadryl and ice your arm from the shot."
He also suggested I try swtiching from bandaids to gauze pads and self sticking ace bandage. So I'm trying that. I got the non stick gauze but maybe I should have gotten the regular kind. The sticky from the bandaid was irritating my hand so this is a nice option.

The status is NOT quo.
Tep, apparently my IBS heard that your IBS thought it would be great time for a flare-up and chose to join the party. I am not amused.
