the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And if I couldn't take any pain meds, I would for damn sure be trying acupuncture or anything else that had a chance of working.

Maybe CBD, too? I take it for anxiety, but I know people with chronic pain who say it helps with that.

Our wings are not tired.

That's a good idea too, Steph. She also has serious anxiety issues. This kidney situation has her more open to alternatives than she was previously.

Okay, y'all. I'm going into a two-hour meeting with coworker to talk about the style guide. Expect anguished bulletins from me.

meara - Will your insurance cover home-based physical therapy? Mine sent someone to my house for several weeks after my hip replacement which was very helpful until I could drive again. He was only there for about 30 minutes at a time, but helped with some things like getting in and out of the tub/shower as well as exercises I could do at home.

Coworker has postponed me for the moment. She is busy with something. So very busy. She mentioned how busy she is at least three times during this morning's meeting, surely endearing herself to the rest of the team.

Thrive to spite them

I keep bracing every time I see something about the bombs.

I keep making stupid mistakes at work but this happens when I'm over worked.

However the shrink agreed to up my dose of Vyvanse. Hopefully it doesn't give me dry mouth as bad as I had before. I really want the extra functioning that the higher doses gave me.

Meeting was supposed to end at 4. Still going strong. On page 15 of 38.

There are CBD creams and patches for topical use, and they are fantastic.

ION, the never-ending fight ... er, discussion of "Goth is only about the muuuuuusic! Suggesting the history and aesthetic are just as important means you're not a REAL GOTH!!1!" has surfaced again, in multiple places I read. And this argument is always started and perpetuated by dudes.

Amy, that is utter bullshit. WTF? Why redact?

Also, Amy, FYI, one of my reluctant readers was so excited when she finished Cold Kiss that she immediately asked me for Glass Heart (which another kid stole, but I currently have $-190.00 in my check account, so no book buying). I was so excited that she was so excited about your book.
