I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, dear, Laura. What a dilemma! I'd hate for you to wait for surgery and then have it suddenly go very bad on you while you were flying!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What a conundrum, Laura.

Thrive to spite them

Emily sorry about your kitty.

Laura I hope you're able to work it out, I hate insurance.

My schedule is kind of wonky because I had Tuesdays blocked out but I corrected that and I'm going to talk to the HR manager about scheduling. But I haven't heard from the case manager. I'm going to message her tomorrow and see if she's heard anything.

I had to email worker's comp and then I called and I'm worried that I'm apparently not set up for partial whatever payments since I've returned to work and am not getting any checks cut at this point. I hope that the adjuster dude answers the email I sent soon.

Lunch with Mom was kind of a mess. We ended up at the restaurant later than we wanted to get there and it was crowded. I asked if we could sit outside and it was kind of hot and it's benches to sit on so that was bothering M's back and the whole thing took for ever. And I wasn't feeling well for most of it. just brain fog and tired. I realized I'm falling back into the pattern of sleeping/dozing in the day and then staying up at night. I'm finally feeling rested but in a few hours I'm going to take Trazadone and hopefully get a lot of sleep.

This kind of feels like I was back Jan or Feb , except without any vertigo or dizziness (so that's a good thing) but when I was just tired all the time. I know it's to be expected but it's really hard not to get frustrated and feel like I'm some kind of loser who can't even work 4 hours a day. I'm going to talk to my manager about doing recovery or something in one section and just staying there for the day rather than switching around doing things and having to walk all over the store and have to mentally switch tasks or think about too much stuff.

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

Timelies all!

Healing~ma, Laura.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Ugh, that's shitty timing, Laura.

Our wings are not tired.

Well I have a plan. Still don’t have copies of tests results for my PCP. Pretty sure Empire Blue and Florida Blue Medicare reciprocate. So unless the doctor up here calls and says blood work is horrible and go to ER I am flying to FL tomorrow as planned. I’ll tell NY doc to schedule me for pre-op and surgeon when I get back on 7th. Not telling DH what is going on until after his surgery Friday. He freaks out and will understand why I withheld. (Really I know he knows he freaks out) My sister will stay with me and deal with logistics for my surgery.

Bodies, man! Shitty design.

Bodies, man! Shitty design.

It's the Planned Obsolescence that I object to.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Yeah, I'd like to talk to the designer, because I have some notes for improvement.

Oh, are you ready for the lecture on maintenance? Did you have your oil checked on your lower back?

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

Not telling DH what is going on until after his surgery Friday. He freaks out and will understand why I withheld. (Really I know he knows he freaks out) My sister will stay with me and deal with logistics for my surgery.

Yeah, I can ca see that. I mean, if you both know the deal, this is the play. It's not like you are avoiding dealing with it, just telling him about it.

Right? I have a shoulder that badly needs looking at and I figure that means surgery so I'm waiting for the Boy's international trip to happen because I'll need looking after for a bit, so when he returns. And then the other half of my back which is a Pandora's box I do not wish to open.
