And this summer is her bucket list trip of driving up through the US into Canada and the Yukon Territory up to the Arctic Circle (she crossed into the Arctic Circle on Tuesday) so she can jump in the Arctic Ocean.
How very cool! In both senses.

Man, with that and the details from the Trump indictment, today's been a pretty good day.

As somebody else who's...fairly chill but people don't want to see me get really pissed twice, I can appreciate that you might bring the same energy, Hec. (Except maybe not *totally* the same because people wouldn't boggle like they're getting cussed out by a broken Hummel figurine and want their co-workers to watch. But maybe close.) Glad you're not getting stranded.

You know the stress is high when I have a telemedicine appointment checking up on your anti-depressants and the doctors shifts gears from, "I think you are in a good place to get handed off back to your GP since you are stable" to "I'm going to raise your dose and I'll talk to you in three weeks"
Sigh.

Sigh indeed, ND. I hope most of the stressors have been resolved long before the 3 weeks are up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope the higher dose helps, ND. And that the actual stuff beating you down lightens up, of course.
