OK- I think some of my anxiety might be hunger. I felt so much better after I ate. I am terribly, terribly not wanting to eat anything. In addition, I don't really want to cook because cooking means washing dishes, and I am afraid I will have a big pile (which is pretty unlikely, since I basically got rid of all but two of everything, including pans.

Sophia, my anxiety is very often related to hunger, upset stomach etc fwiw.

Sophia when I was struggling with ...everything ...and washing dishes seemed too much I switched to disposable everything and microwaving stuff. My go to meal was microwaved veggies with either meatballs or chicken thighs (I had a little thing that would cook them ok in the microwave). It wasn't interesting to eat but it was food.

Then later I got 1 plate and 1 bowl and only allowed myself to use 1 skillet 1 saucepan, and 1 of anything else so nothing piled up but I had to wash up frequently

I have cold cuts and cheese right now. But I am mostly just eating lunch at work. I think that is probably not enough. I think I have lost even more weight (but I don't weigh myself)

I leave for vacation tomorrow -- 4 days in DC with family, and then 6 days that includes road-tripping to Toronto. Naturally, today is the day that my pharmacy is claiming that one of my migraine medications is no longer covered.

I've been trying to make heath(ier) eating as easy as possible on myself because it has been so difficult to do anything for myself lately. If that means picking up oatmeal through a drive through or grabbing a ready made sandwich while I'm at the market, that is what I am doing. If disposable plate make it easier for you to take care of yourself, do whatever you have to do.

That is surely not enough, Sophia. OK, sounds like next you should work on getting into good routines that include going to work and eating enough!

Cindy, my brother said the exact sane thing: that I should make sure a resident dies not perform the procedure today. (He may have said it more forcefully.) I'm trying to be a better advocate for myself.

It's really hard, because you don't feel well, you're scared, and you don't want to alienate anyone. I found it easier to do for my son, but even then I'd practice what I wanted to say ahead of time, so the words would come out better.

I am definitely more of a see new things person than a lie on the beach person.

Where have you been? Like have you been to London? Paris? (I've been damn few places, so I don't have any good recs for you, I'm just interested.)

Did they get the lumbar puncture done today?

I ate ham and cheese roll-ups for dinner The Lind where you have lettuce instead of bread, but otherwise dress it as a sandwich. And some pickles.

I too would like to hear about amyth's adventures

I now have an appointment for a spay, and I actually called because they were not emailing me back!

Edit- Well Petunia has the spay, I set the appointment because she cannot talk

Also, I hate it when people call it a "spray". I am very cranky and I am actually trying to embrace it, though instead of just pushing it down to come out in anxiety.

Timelies all!

I saw snow flurries today on my way home. That's not right.(Luckily, nothing is sticking)
