I have so much work to do, and no desire to do it, but also a lot of it is waiting on responses from other people, which is annoying, because a lot of those people also don’t want to do their work or are already on vacation

I’m already doing PT and I’m hoping that will help.

Also, it would be very nice if the woman who is supposed to be referring me to a mental health provider would call me back because I’m really freakin stressed.

Our wings are not tired

ND, I am also on gabapentin. Before that the pain was unbearable. Hoping for no surgery for either of us.

Yeah, I had a week without any sleep due to the pain. I've been impressed with how much the gabapentin really does help keep the nerve pain under control. I will say, I would like to have full feeling in all of the fingertips of my right hand again some time. That would be grand.

Yeah I hear you being able to drive my hand control car, use my crutches, or cook dinner would be great.

Wow, that sounds sucky.

I’ve been trying to decide if it’s worth the COVID risk to call up my doc and try to get a steroid shot in my shoulder—my L shoulder was painful and then froze, and only stopped being painful after the injection, and while it’s much improved, the R one now hurts in the same way, and I’d rather not have it freeze too tyvm! But COVID is so high, even going into an ortho office seems risky.

What is even happening?

Different docs have different procedures. When my son went for his physical in October, he was told to call the office from the parking lot. They then called him when they were ready to see him.

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

Timelies all!

It figures. We frequently have trouble getting Mr. S out of bed on school days, but today, when there's no school? Up at 6:30 when our alarm went off. Kids...

I have FINALLY gotten down my external hard drive to connect to my laptop, so now I have my iTunes library and can listen to my Holiday music, not just Pandora. While I was up looking for it, I found 2 other things I had been looking for as well as a wayward Christmas ornament, so a good trip into the rarely ventured into small bedroom/former home office.

Getting up early on snow days was part of the fun of snow days. (Not that Mr. S is having a snow day, but it's way more fun to get up when you just get up, even though you don't have to.)

I'm going through my rect PO receipts in order to track packages. I mailed something priority on 12/2 to Miami FL. NO IDEA what that is or who it is to. Hasn't gotten there, that I know. The one I mailed retail ground to TX the same day has already been delivered.
