I have successfully applied for unemployment. I think. That was a byzantine process.

Burell, I forget what the dyes are made of, but allergic reactions are not uncommon. I'm not sure how they avoid it if benadryl didn't work, though.

It is small, but I am pleased with myself today for remembering to cancel a Dr. appt I cannot make and cancelling 3 months of auto delivery meds that I am overstocked on. One saves agita and one saves money. I am all for saving such things.

ION - I would very much like to have all the sleep. I think I am going to have to start training my cats to sleep outside of my room and that will be some loud annoying nights to achieve. I am thinking of wearing headphones attached to my white noise/alarm clock.

ita_!, I hope that is a sufficient wake up call for the neuro.

Kate, I'm sorry for your friend, and for all who cared about her.

I'm so sorry, Kate

Best of luck with treatment, ita and sister of Burrell

I just wanted to pop in with the minor triumph that my (handwritten today specific) to do list is half crossed off. That hasn't happened in quite a while!

I got all my non-work to-dos that were marked today done! I brought in (old) coffee for one co-worker, Firefly DVDs for another, was ready to return a loaned hard drive to another.

Why can't I get into the habit of prepping the night before more often? I just grabbed the bag and left today, and didn't even remember what I'd done until I got into the office.

Okay, onto the ickier stuff like insurance reimbursements, ebill paying, and oh, more WORK.

I just watched a movie for work, which is all well and good, except it was kind of depressing AND I'm supposed to summarize it, which is a thing that turns out to be not in my skill set. I can do three sentences or ten pages, but not one page! Hmmm.

As I suspected, the doctors are recommending no more treatments for my sister, just focus on QOL. Other sister and I are trying to figure out what that might look like, where she'd stay, etc. I doubt she's thought about where to go next.

Also it's raining and I have no coat and will get soaked on my way to class this afternoon.

Today sucks.

I'm so sorry, Kate.

Burrell, how scary and upsetting. I hope today gets better for you in some way.

ita_!, I hope the letter helps.

In news of things that are amusing to me: the letter in the GCS update I posted is an amazing example of overwrought teen fiction. All of my beta readers were highly skeptical of it. But it prompted a post, so that's good.

I'm sorry, Burrell. That's gotta be tough.

I'm so sorry, Burrell. Wishing you all strength.
