I'm sorry, Laura.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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.
Laura, I have an urge to give people some talkings-to on your behalf.
I am suddenly so very, very thankful for the surprising unity amongst my siblings and me at the time my dad died. It was such a lovely thing that later when ordinary, or ordinarily dysfunctional, tensions resurfaced I often thought we needed another family member to die to restore peace. In my emo, young adult, not yet twenty, mind I sometimes had the urge to volunteer.
Steph, maybe some one or a combo of, the newer medications will give you the neurotransmitters you need while not adding too many unpleasant side effects.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
~ma to Steph, Laura, and any who need it.
Congrats to WindSparrow!
It has been a Week, y'all. Last Saturday, F fell onto concrete on his forehead (!!!!). I took him to Urgent Care and they examined him and watched him for a bit and told me he was okay and to look for certain things that could indicate a more serious head injury.
Fast forward to yesterday, when I notice he has light bruising around both eyes (something they told me to watch for last weekend). I call Urgent Care and they tell me to take him to ER to rule out a fracture or brain bleed (!!!!!!). I take him in and they go back and forth over whether he needs a CT scan and finally decide to do it. They discover no fracture, no brain bleed THANK YOU, YEEZUS. We head home.
This morning I get a text from DW saying there is a huge bruise on F's cheek. Another call to ped, another person saying is normal. Can this please resolve so I don't have to have constant worry about my baby's head???? Damn!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Parenting is not for the faint of heart, even when all that is going on is normal kid stuff. F, get better soon.

Thrive to spite them
I hope F heals quickly.
I did some training stuff...well the reading parts. I know there will be more things. UnI form requirements aren't bad..khaki pants and athletic shoes or my clogs will work. No color requirements.
Then I was heading home and Mom texted me...my brother needed her to take her some place for something and could o watch E when I got home.
This threw me off and I needed to go to the grocery store and other stuff and I didn't realize I forgot 2 things I needed. AND I started beating myself up. But stoppped because I realized I didn't give myself a chance to digest it and refocus. Next time I'm taking 5 minutes to just physically stop moving and breathE and then refugure my plans.
And also remember that because of past situations. .including today...thr plans will then change again at least twice.
