I dunno, I'm all for being unapologetic 'this is who I am, see ya' but I'm also uninterested in dating and embracing no fucks left to give.
I am in this boat with sarameg. It's pretty nice here.
I've considered just mailing all my stuff to my destination and taking only a small carry-on on the plane from now on. Flying has become so fraught and unpleasant. Can't put electronics in your check-in luggage, but have to take them out of their carefully-packed bag in the security line. There has to be a solution for this that makes carrying more than one electronic device something less than a nightmare.
I must have hit my deductible for the year; all my prescriptions are suddenly 0 cost. Thanks, Iceland fairies!
Yeah I have no problem presenting myself true to form, but I need to just stop engaging before I call some stupid, you know?

You and Tim can form a club! My echocardiogram was 100% covered, and we'll see if the CT scan (which is for a totally different problem than the one the echo was looking for) is covered.
Today is Code What's After Red on my stress level, for so fucking many reasons, and I may have erred by taking extra Ativan on a totally empty stomach. I haven't had anything other than coffee today, and I know I should eat something, but I'm not hungry and kind of don't give a damn. Also, everything on the edges of my field of vision is kind of...spinning, which doesn't seem like a super great thing. But everything on my computer screen is in one place, so that's fine.

And my post sounds coherent to me, so I'd say I'm not in any danger. Unless this is a situation where it only reads as coherent to me but to everyone else it's just a series of pound symbols, percentage symbols, unrelated capital letters, and the occasional numeral.
SUPER bad, you guys. SUPER bad day.
I'm sorry you're having a Beyond Code Red day, Steph. Eat something, it'll help! Crackers, maybe? {virtual hugs and hairpats}
I'll have to check with my traveling buddy, but I think Tuesday is pretty flexible. It would be great to meet you!
Cool. I hope it works out. My profile address is good if you want to make further plans or have any questions.
I'm just super not hungry and have stabby stomach pain.
I'm sorry you're having a crappy day, Steph. Do you think eating something small and plain like crakers, even if you're not hungry, might help the stomach pain?
Thanks for the ~ma.
Good news for my mom, it is probably just bleeding and it should drain if she stays upright. She does not have a detached retina or blood behind her eye.
My uncle is entering palliative care. Treating his heart requires treating the GI bleeding. Doing endoscopy to find out the cause would probably kill him- the other options are testing DNA to see if his has the marker for colon cancer or a CAT scan. He has been in a lot of pain for a year, and has a low quality of life, so he has chosen to let things take their course and manage his pain.
He is more upbeat and lucid than I have seen him in a while, but he wants to go home and my aunt isn't sure she can manage since she still works (and must-- they lost all of his retirement in 2008).
