Good grief, Gud. It's all so effing frustrating with drugs.

I fucked things up last night. I'm just a terrible, useless person. Saying this here is probably another example of that. I just shouldn't talk to anyone. Not sure how to make the stress stop.

Our wings are not tired.

That is awful, Gud. My mom went through this with one of her drugs. Went up 10x, and it was an ancient widely used generic drug. Healthcare needs to be fixed, but I am afraid it has fallen down the priority list. Ugh.

In much happier news, today is Fred Pete's birthday. Haven't seen him in far too long, but sincerely hope he is having a wonderful day.

I have solid evidence that you are, in reality, a terrific and incredibly talented, dedicated, and generous soul, Gud.

Thrive to spite them

It really sucks about your medication. I HATE HATE HATE our healthcare system. HATE. With a fiery passion of a thousand white hot suns.

But you, Gud, are not a bad person, you are an amazingly talented, generous, loving and wonderful person.

M is sick, he's had.. GI issues since last night. No fever, no other real symptoms except he's tired, which is understandable considering he was getting up every few hours last night.

I got up and went and got electrolyte water, BRAT diet stuff and I kept having to pull up my shorts since they wanted to slide off...time to donate those I guess.

Neither his mom or I are sick so maybe it's food poisoning. I am keeping an eye out for any other symptoms but so far it's just more like food poisoning or a stomach bug.

I'm sorry he's not feeling well, and I hope the unwellness is non-spreading.

Yep, time to donate those shorts! Go, you.

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

Gud, you can say anything here. I'm sorry you feel terrible and useless, you do not seem that way at all to me! I feel terrible and useless often myself, whether it is true or not it is certainly a hard feeling to carry around and also hard to admit to so I am grateful that you did say something here. And I'm pissed about the price hike on the medication, that is infuriating.

Congrats, Scrappy!

The thought of dream!Jesse running around other people's dreams reminding them to go to class or getting them pants or feeding them lines for the play they didn't know they were in or whatever is amusing me no end. This is how people get to be unofficial saints!

I cancelled my physical this week because this cold has me feeling like dirt and I wanted to be cautious about potentially exposing other people. I'm On Call during the next available appointment in August, so now I've had to reschedule for October.

Saying this here is probably another example of that.

I'd really rather you say this stuff here than not say anything at all when you feel this way. In an ideal world, we wouldn't say the kinds of horribly mean things to ourselves that we'd never say about a friend, but brain weasels gotta brain weasel sometimes.
