hey! guess who has done none, absolutely none of college work for the whole semester?

You guessed it.

Not sure if he ever attended a class at all, but dropped or was dropped from his business class and is getting an AMAZING 0.00% in his music class (the one for the certificate he supposedly wants to get).

This means Any money I have gotten from the college savings account to pay his expenses is in violation of the tax law. He has to be taking at least 2 classes to be legally using those funds.

my son. the asshole.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear. He sounds like my friends' kids who are about that age. And honestly, like some of my friends at that age! They eventually got their acts together.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I guess I'm lucky that my primary care physician is not my prescribing doc. I'm due for a late June appointment with my psychiatrist, but even if things aren't open for regular visits, there will probably be a way to do a tele appointment. (I see her every six months, she gives me prescriptions for 90 days of meds, with one refill)

Oh, msbelle. I'm sorry.

I doubt it, Epic. We have our dept weekly call tomorrow, maybe I will have an opportunity to complain then, but I don't really expect it. There's just too many of us, even cut in half as we are, for everyone to get something satisfactory unless we all agreed to each take a full week in alphabetical order or something.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm not opposed to getting a physical and bloodwork under normal goddamn circumstances. But considering we're in a pandemic, I feel like going to the doctor's office is something that can fucking WAIT. And I'm going to send them a message to that effect

I get to make that call as well. And with a new PA. I totally liked her and I'm cool with doing the bloodwork and other referral but the timing blows because we shut down a week after I met with her.

Oh I think you're allowed to tap out msbelle. At least temporarily—you could support him again in the future if he's actually going to classes (could he get loans and you pay them off once he has passed classes?) but not do it now?

I'm not going to tell him about loans. My offer I just emailed him - Register for 1 class to take over the summer and pass it and I will keep paying what I am paying now. Otherwise I'll stop at end of May.

If he does the one summer class at the end of the summer he does not want to take more classes, then he has had 2 months to find a job to cover the $1000 in expenses per month I am covering for him right now.
