Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
alongside the mental illness he's also still just a giant asshole, and talking to him on the phone is legitimately awful.
I hear you on that. That’s hard. Your resentments are valid. Pneumatic tubes for meds and cheesecake sounds pretty good, though!

I would not say no to cheesecake with Valium sprinkles right now.
I would not say no to cheesecake with Valium sprinkles right now.Sounds good. Chocolate please. I don't care if it's the cheesecake or Valium that is chocolate but one needs to be.
Geez, Tep, that is a LOT. All the treats with benzos you wish right now.
The ~ma helped. Thank you all! Shelby is expected to overcome her pancreatitis with our current treatment and hopefully it won't return - although we'll only know when it does or doesn't. Her bloodwork looks really promising even if, worst case, she's on a strict diet for the rest of her pupper life. She's always been on a strict diet so that's easy. Just won't let her drink sketch water from toilet areas in hiking areas and hotels any longer. Which I should have kept her from initially.

Dang. The restrictions that must be endured in this thing called life.

Sounds legit, honestly.
Glad Shelby is doing great, Cass.
My DH seems to have improved significantly. Having trouble getting the specialist to get back to us, but it's Medstar at Georgetown's issue -- they notably SUCK at scheduling with any kind of urgency unless the doctors circumvent them, but you have to get to the doctors first, which makes it a giant Catch-22.
I mean, we're trying to get to him to see if there's anything they can figure out about underlying causes, which seems to be hard with pancreatitis. Though I'm pretty sure he's not been out drinking from sketchy water puddles.
Good to hear he is improving, Jen.
Long day ahead. Gym was first thing this morning, then the usual Monday madness at work, then book club at the library tonight. I realized that for the past couple months or so I have gone back to my teen days with reading/listening to 3 books at once. I have my audiobook that I listen to in the car and at the gym, then the hardcover book I have for book club, and whatever Nook book I am reading in bed. The librarian collects the next month's book from the various libraries in the system to hand out and we hand in the previous one, which works well.
Oct 3rd is a meeting with the lawyers. The 5th is the deposition. The 13th thr hearing. I also realized I don't have any kind of work interview appropriate clothes (the suggested dress code for the deposition and hearing ). I had come up with one outfit and now I need to see if I can find another top to go with the pants. They are kind of palazzo style pants but in a dressy fabric.Congratulations. I'm rooting for you. Hang in there. I feel like twin sets (even a faked twin set) go a long damn way, even with something like black jeans or khakis.
What’s a good charity to help Puerto Rico right now?I'm asking around at work for a good Go Fund Me (or the like). If my $25 can go right to someone's Abuela that's maybe a slightly bigger drop in the bucket.
Dang. The restrictions that must be endured in this thing called life.Electric word life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time.
Delurking to say I just got past a week of being flattened by COVID. Would not recommend. As I lay there feeling my skeleton in my body (nobody told me about THAT symptom) I was profoundly grateful I was vaccinated and not utterly fucking terrified for my life whilst feeling my skeleton in my body - that's a little too My Chem even for me. Did have a scare with my oxygen taking low drops so Doc told me to go to the ER (which is world class and five blocks away). Breathing treatment, chest X-ray, cleared and sent home. Back at work tired and sweaty (and testing negative) because this is where they keep the money. Fingers crossed I don't get the Paxlovid rebound.
I'm sorry, Trudy. Brendon has the very faintest of lines this morning, finally. I hope he is clear tomorrow as he is really chomping at the bit to get out of here. His 1-2 week visit is now 7 and counting. I enjoy his company, but his basketball team misses him.
Yeesh, I'm glad you got that cleared up, Trudy. That sounds no bueno. I'd much rather be blissfully ignorant of my skeleton most times.

You have bones inside you! WET bones inside you!
