Yays and woo-hoos! For Hil and Awesome Doc, and for askye defeating Twitter and anxiety and The Shatner and also getting cable, and for Suzi and all her good news!
I took today off for no reason except all my work is caught up and I can. I stayed in bed for three hours after I woke up, slothing it up and reading.
Why didn't it ever occur to me before this week that I can watch TV on my iPad with headphones while ltc naps? It's perfect. She sleeps. The noise doesn't wake her, and I get to catch up on non-kid friendly shows.
Suzi, that is a lot! I'm feeling the stress, too, even though all of our stuff is fun:
Edited for parallel construction, because editor.
Hil, I'm glad awesome doc was able to see you, and I hope the steroids help.
Hil - I hope you feel better soon. I had trigger thumb and just reading about your thumb brings back the memories of that pain. I wish you the best!!!
Glam, selling a place while you are still living in it is stressful. The rest sounds fun!!! A lot of stuff, but fun. And you make me think I should check on concerts while I'm in CA. I'm already looking to sign up for the Hamilton lottery. There are a few tickets available, but I can't do the $550+ price tag per ticket.

Fortunately, we are not living in it. That is stressful! And HAMILTON!!!!!
Oh good, Glam. That does make the rest of your list a bit less stressful. I've done it twice and it was such a challenge to keep everything "show ready".
I remember being sick as heck, so I was home from work. All I wanted to do was eat crackers, crawl in bed, and sleep. But there were two showings. I couldn't quite disappear or even lounge around in my pjs. I did my best to fake looking healthy and just fade into the woodwork without infecting any of them.
They are coming Tuesday to upgrade us to "real" internet and DSL will be gone. No word on when my bro's house will be upgraded.
Also Went to my nephew's spring play (which was more short skits with songs int he middle) Bepop to Aesop. It was very cute.
The steroids seem like they're starting to work. My thumb still hurts, but it's within tolerable levels of pain. And I've got five more days of the steroids, so I'm hopeful. (Steroid injections directly into the joint are more common for this, but the doctor said that he didn't do them, because he's not confident in his ability to get the needle into the right place, so if I do still need that after the oral steroids, he'll refer me to a hand surgeon who can do the injection, but he wanted to start me on some kind of steroids right away. I was happy that he was not willing to chance totally screwing up my hand (which can happen if those injections aren't done right) for the sake of his ego -- pretty sure there are some doctors who'd either try to do it anyway, or just not mention injections as an option.)
So, I've got steroids now, but no painkillers. And, thus, no painkillers until Wednesday. (The rheumatologist's office was supposed to call me sometime today when the script was ready, but I was worried because I wouldn't be able to go pick it up if they called after noon. They didn't call at all.)
That does sound hopeful, Hil. Extremely frustrating not to have the painkillers, but if the steroids do the job that is very good news.
