Best wishes for Tim and you, Tep.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

And Brendon was released. He was in the last bunch for a trial he didn't want to hear, but didn't make the cut. Phew.
Continuing to send vibes Tim's way.

The surgeon said the procedure went very well (she used the phrase "easy peasy"), and now we're just waiting for Tim to be brought back up to the hospital room.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Easy peasy is the number one phrase I want to hear from a surgeon!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
she used the phrase "easy peasy"

Thrive to spite them
I'm not exactly sure but I accidentally triggered a massive anxiety attack for M. I know what led up to it but I'm not sure how we got from that to major anxiety attack and me being anywhere near him just makes it worse. But of course I want to go and help him but I can't.
Penny's medication came this afternoon and there was some papers with it. I thought I had them all together and when I went to give Penny the meds (it's thyroid medicine that goes on her skin in her ear) and was looking for the dosage amount and couldn't find it. M was kind of helping me but he was also trying to play a game that is one of those where you can't pause and he was getting frustrated so I told him I would look later. And somehow me leaving upset him even more and then he just spiraled. I do know he forgot his anti anxiety meds when we went up to Mom's so that's part of it. I look at him and it hurts to see him so upset. Especially when it wasn't that long ago I would be in a similar situation. I am going to try to run some numbers and see if we could afford to get him on my insurance because I feel like that would get him better help than the VA is able to.
