I had a telemedicine appointment with my PCP scheduled for 4, and it's almost 5:30 and she's been indefinitely tied up with a complicated patient. At least I'm at home -- I don't mind waiting around, even this long, for a video appointment because at least I can get other things done while I'm waiting. In my Star Wars lounge clothes, of course.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I often wish we'd brought TC with us in the cabin. His vet said point blank he'd never survive the trip in hold. He wasn't too positive about cross country in the car, with each night in a strange motel, either. Ferals, even mostly-formal ferals, are hard. Good luck with Miley--she's going to love her new home. And I know you were reluctant to let her go.
Star Wars loungers FTW, esse!
Hope the pain meds do their job, meara.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Recovery~ma, meara!
I just can't with these "liberty" people.
Aw, Bailey. I'm glad you are getting her back, msbelle. This is a pretty elaborate foster fail!

I keep clicking on comment threads where I know I'll see a bunch of stuff that'll trigger me (eugenics, basically), and then I read it and I know I shouldn't, and I'm sitting here shaking and in a ton of pain and sleep just isn't going to happen.

Oh Hil. It's tough to stop yourself from reading the comments sometimes :(
I'm feeling muc much better now. The nausea finally went away, so I was able to have a protein bad and drink some water and take medication. The only problem is I don't remember when I took it! Oops. Guess I'll skip it for now unless I wake up again unable to sleep. I remember being half awake and thinking "oh yeah, it's kicked in for sure!"—I think that might be why j fell asleep for a couple hours with my walking boot still on!

Hope the sleep found you both, meara & Hil!
I need to find a snarky recap of Person of Interest S1. I'm slowly making my way through it. (Taraji Henson really stands out and Michael Emerson is a gift that just keeps giving.)

Beverly, right after the Parkland shootings, there were ... signs? posts? ... along the lines of your kid's life isn't more important than my (2nd amendment) rights. sigh ....
And someone in California decided, since he had to wear a mask to go to the grocery, he'd wear a KKK hood.

Keep in mind, the last poll I saw showed 75% of the country in favor of a slow re-open. It just takes a few loud idiots to make all this noise.
