Dealing with a serious disease becomes your full-time job. It ought to be worthy of going on your tax form.

As I logged out for lunch, I found myself thinking "No, you can't go visit your car." Car likes carrots.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I should be totally fair, here: last year when Tim walked the 5K with me, we finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes. So we were close.
Yeah, friend and I have done 1 hr, 3 min. But since BF started coming along, we've gotten slower rather than faster. So it's just an interesting idea, whether I'd break an hour on my own. For now, I enjoy her company, so I tolerate his. Maybe I'll ask her to try to light a fire under him for the next one we all do together. (FYI, just realized I might be coming off jerky - not like he's slow due to health or whatever, I'd be okay holding back for someone who's struggling. He stops to take pictures. Or to stand there listening to the music being played along the route, that kinda thing).

Enjoy, Connie! You've earned your shiny new toy (that likes carrots!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This episode of Say Yes to the Dress with the polygamous threesome is really weird. The whole vibe they're going for is...weird.

Jesus, the process of having to deal with a doctor's office when you're sick is such a cruel joke.
Truth. Dismaying and upsetting truth.
I'm sorry the shot didn't do the trick. Good luck with the whole surgery process. So sorry for the pain.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And it seems that the more dire your health situation, the less helpful the doctors' offices are. When I had my stroke (2006), I needed to go back to see the neurologist; her office let me make an appointment, then cancelled. At least twice. Then announced she was going on maternity leave ... and didn't offer me anyone else to see. I needed to get a refill on the blood thinner, but I couldn't get in to see a doctor to prescribe it and they wouldn't call it in. I finally got in to see a doctor who said he didn't actually deal with stroke patients - he was a movement disorder specialist. But he did prescribe the medication AND referred me to the right specialist.

Holy Crap, Todd. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. That's beyond ridiculous.
