Seems like it would be worth pursuing, Hil.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Hil, the primary care you've been seeing won't fill out the forms for a handicap plate for you? I got mine through my primary and it was a really quick and easy form.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I haven't asked. I just assumed not. I didn't have a handicap plate in PA, but I think I'm starting to need one.

It's probably worth at least asking. December is a long time away.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
First therapy appointment in less than 8 hours (which is too damn early for me). (Yeah, 3 years of working from home has ruined me for normal human hours. I admit it.)

What is even happening?
Thanks, Cindy. I wish it was that easy. I had a pretty good week last week and yesterday. Today is horrible. I'm exhausted and miserable. I had to force myself into the shower while ltc slept because I have friends coming over, but I really just wanted to nap. I wish I knew what is different about today.
sj, I think it comes down to the same (good) advice I got before my wedding. Every day, take a mental snapshot of ltc and your family. It goes so fast, you won't believe it.
I'm only saying that because my youngest is a high school junior, my daughter is a h.s. senior, and my oldest is a college junior. I don't know how we got here.
That said, I am not in any way invalidating your exhaustion. I have been where you are. I'm just saying (1) it gets better, and (2) you will miss it.
Nap when that baby does. You can catch up, later.

Good luck, Teppy. I hope it goes well. My appointment on Thursday is at 10 which is too damn early for me. By the time I get ltc up and feed her and myself showered and dressed, I'll probably be rushing.

Cindy, I already feel it is going to fast. The first year flew by, and now we're already a month into her second year. The days are long, but the months go by fast. I just wish my body and mind would allow me to enjoy it more.

In a perfect world, normal human hours means awaking at 10, reading the iPad until 11, having a 2nd cup of coffee and a shower, then leaving the house at 12.

Ha, I don't usually leave until after 1. Of course, I get home after 10.
