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

So, we have someone coming tomorrow from a company called Cincinnati Hoarding to assess the situation. So that’s where my fucking life is right now. I feel like a goddamn shitshow failure of a human being.

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

You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep. I’m sorry this feels so terrible.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep.

This is true. You know what's good? Getting some help in a situation like this.

Put aside your reflexive shame-response, and see that this is part of the process of fixing the situation. It's almost like seeing a therapist. And alleviating it going forward. It's going to be okay.

When my people came, they were so nice! I was a wreck, though.

I empathize with the feeling, truly. I admire you for doing something hard about a situation you know you want to fix when taking the fixing steps makes you feel shitty, too. And for talking about it - because we all (or mostly all?) have albatrosses of some kind, and seeing someone else handle theirs is... aspirational!

Our wings are not tired.

Sounds like some first rate humaning, with a side of adulting there, Teppy!

Buffista birthday calendar shows that today is a celebration of Glamcookie. May the year to come be filled with love and joy.

I’m impressed you managed to both find a company and CALL THEM (!) and set up an appointment, tbh! That seems like the worst part. Personally I’m more than willing to hand someone my money if I don’t have to figure out who to call, call and make an appointment, arrange to have the work done, figure out if there’s a better/more cost effective option, etc etc…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, sumi, I'm so sorry to hear that! I don't know if she keeps up here as much, but you might talk to Lee/Perkins?

Oh no, sumi! I hope it was caught early enough that it can be treated easily.

When I started learning about prostate cancer and tests and treatments and medicines, I started at cancer.org, but actually found the most helpful resources through YouTube and Facebook. Just remember to treat anything from there with a critical and skeptical eye.
