Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ugh. My anxiety issues are worse than they have been recently. Today I had to drop my cat off at the vet for a tooth extraction. It's a short drive to the vet but traffic was bumper-to-bumper for part of the way, which stressed me out. Then it took longer to drop off the cat than I expected, resulting in me worrying I didn't put enough time on the parking meter. Then driving to Highland Park I forgot about the road construction on Sheridan, so that took a lot longer. By the time I got to work, I did a shitty parking job and just said "fuck it" and went in to work.

All in all, just a typical day for a car-owner in Chicago, but it's left me wanting to hide under my desk for a while. I've got to start exercising more, I guess.

Hope the doc can help, Tep!

I'm sorry, tommyrot. I'm glad you have something that helps, although I know going from "I should do this I know it will make me feel better" to actually doing it can be hard and anxiety doesn't make it easier.

Yay, my company put out an update! Yay, most major antivirus programs think our executable file is a virus and is deleting it!

So, going to the doctor was a good idea. I have 4 prescriptions! My oxygen level is low, which means inflamed airways, so I get steroids and an inhaler. Also antibiotics and cough medicine. And Diflucan because of the antibiotics, which I guess is 5 prescriptions. CVS gets ALL my money.

Ugh Steph, I hope all those meds do the trick, and quick! Glad you went to see the doctor

Weirdness. Was trying to watch Jane the Virgin before I leave on my trip today and when I started it, it was playing in both English and Spanish simultaneously. Hard to hear! I fiddled with settings and it seems to be fixed now. But I do think it's kind of awesome if they simulcast it in Spanish!

Meanwhile: should really be packing (I packed most of it last night but need to rearrange, and make sure I didn't forget anything). I'm so over work right now, but have a bunch I need to do...

ETA: Yay drugs, Teppy!

I was surprised it was that bad, but gratified that I didn't go to the doctor for a minor issue.

Yeah I know what you mean. It's weird to find out you were sicker than you realized.

Which reminds me, I need to make an appointment for my yearly physical.
