Ooh, and once when I was maybe 8, I was at my grandma's house and her sisters were hanging out smoking indoors (like you did in the day--even though i don't think grandma smoked) and one of them accidentally tried to ash her cig on my hand, thinking it was the ashtray.

I have a scar on one of my eyebrows from an accidental brush with a cigarette. Totally forgot about that, meara.

Always Anti-fascist!
I wish I had an answer for the self-hate thing myself. I can't imagine talking to my doctor about it either, because I hardly have adoctor. More like an ointment jockey who overbooks three deep and I barely get a sentence out of.(I have barely ever been to a doctor who's any good at all at talking about emotional stuff, ever, anyway)

I'm back from the doctor. She raised my ADs and gave me an anti anxiety med to take at night. Also a few different stomach meds.

Thrive to spite them
Glad you are getting some support for the anxiety and stomach stuff. I hope they kick in quickly.

Me too. Unfortunately, I can't start them tonight. TCG will be in late from his meeting, and then we have to be up early for the funeral tomorrow, so I don't want to take anything that may cause stomach badness or weird sleep tonight.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I almost got to sleep. Then I sneezed and dislocated a rib, and when I stood up to make it easier to get it back in place, I twisted my ankle (because I hadn't put my sleep brace on my ankle, because it had been feeling mostly OK.) Ow. I guess I'm awake for a while longer. Maybe I'll catch some more Pokemon.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear, Hil. I hope you were able to get comfortable enough to sleep.
Wishes for a peaceful day, sj.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope today is a better day, Hil.
sj, may the medication changes help you feel better soon.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, I feel guilty when I'm SO READY to go home at the end of vacation. I love Tim's family, but 15 adults and 4 very loud children in one duplex for a week is A LOT OF PEOPLE. I work alone at home, no kids, just Tim at the end of the day. That's a serious jump from 2 people to 19.
And I miss my dog. Also, "leftover night" (which is a good idea to empty the fridge, don't get me wrong) is not tenable for someone who can't eat pizza/pasta/sandwiches. For some reason Tim is taken aback that I won't just smile and eat ONLY baby carrots for dinner. Hell no, son. I have a car and money and the wherewithal to obtain sushi, so you just enjoy your 3-day-old pizza.
Seriously, it's been super nice all week, so I have no real complaints; I'm just bumping up against the limits of Too Much Togetherness.
