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.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Amused by the following observation -
Pat Robertson is dead, and somewhere out there a dyslexic Twilight fan is crying.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad you had that appointment, at least, ND. Next let's get you some money in the bank.
Thank Jeebus! Our coordinator finessed it to start your infusion earlier today and keep us on time for our flight out on Sunday.
Oh, phew!
I'm marching with a band at Pride tomorrow, and then I'm going to my church's table, so I'm thinking I'll just wear my church t-shirt the whole time. I figure that's more a important message than just something rainbow-y?

Yes, I like that idea.

Good that you're doc is recognizing your need, ND, but awful the stressors causing it.
I'm glad the scheduler got you sorted right, Hec. Geez, man.
You are not alone! Something about it just makes me cringe.
Yes! I am in good company, then.

Oof. I have no idea how my sister has been doing it just physically getting mom moved around—she can barely mumble a word or two and has no strength in her at all—can barely move her arms, and can’t sit up on her own. Meanwhile the cancer doc, when my sister called earlier today asking if the appointment Monday could be telemedicine they said no it had to be in person. We will likely cancel as there’s probably not anything they can tell us and I’m not sure how we’d even get her there. What a shitshow.
My brothers flight got canceled so now he’s coming tomorrow, we are wondering if she’s just waiting on that.
