You are not. In fact, some doctors, cross-taper like you did, to get a patient off one antidepressant and onto another.

Mine did going the opposite way when Lexapro stopped working for me and my doctor switched to Cymbalta. Have not yet grown gills or horns (dammit...).

Edit: Nora, fab.com has some great headboard decals and self-stick wall art if you want to explore options with no risk of concussing you in the night.

My son is learning about networking (the computer kind) so I set up a second network in the house with a homemade router and semi-managed switch. Then I gave him a box with a new access point to set up a wireless network named 'titan'. We'll see if he can figure it out. I'm thinking he needs to start doing real things instead of just reading about stuff.

Meanwhile my daughter (holy shit, it's my adult daughter now) just interviewed for a job as a vet assistant. It would be pretty limited hours but that's good as she'll be starting up college courses.

Good job with the adulting, Connie. I need to adult-up and update the financials tonight. With student loan payments coming up I'm taking more care with tracking where all the money goes. Biggest expense category in July was groceries.

Adult daughter! College courses! Wow. Good luck to her with the interview!

You do not have a fiduciary responsibility to turn a profit on your life.

I am feeling kind of proud of this sentence. I don't *think* I stole it from anywhere. Assuming I did not, hopefully I can remember it next time the brain weasels start telling me I've never accomplished anything. Came up with a damned good sentence once, brain weasels, so shut up!

That is a great sentence :)

Tom's paranoid that if we hang a framed picture or mirror there, it will crash down on us as we sleep.

I'm basically with Tom, even though I know it's stupid. My mother has had a huge framed painting over her bed for years, and she is fine!

My Subaru has dozens of new warning lights, and as I came home last night, I swerved around something and the tire pressure light came on.

For what it's worth, speaking of my mother, when it gets cold (or just when the temperature changes?) that light always goes on on her car, and it usually goes away in a day or so. (Sometimes she will go get some air, but sometimes it happens again a couple of days later.)

Meanwhile my daughter (holy shit, it's my adult daughter now)

Holy shit is right! She was our first Buffista baby, right?

I am feeling kind of proud of this sentence.

AS YOU SHOULD.

For what it's worth, speaking of my mother, when it gets cold (or just when the temperature changes?) that light always goes on on her car, and it usually goes away in a day or so.

That's what the car guys said. And I was driving through big puddles of cold rainwater. I'm just used to dashboard lights meaning "You could die if you don't deal with this!" and was afraid I was looking at imminent tire failure.

Okay, I'm back from vacation, time to face the mountain of work that has piled up.

Ugh. The car talk reminds me I have a decision to make. I took my car in the other day to have the killer Takeda airbag swapped out, which was free because of the recall, but they tell me there's also a problem with the airbag module that controls it. Basically it means the airbags can't be counted on to go off, but if they do they won't kill us anymore.

I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. It's a $1000 fix. On a 12 year old car. I don't really want a new car right now, so I'm disinclined to sell it, but I'm also not sure about driving around without airbags.

Which, we all did for most of my life and some very short people do now, right? But if something were to happen I'd feel super shitty. God what a PITA.

Ugh, that's a tough decision, brenda. Could it be covered by your insurance since it is a safety issue?
