Our wings are not tired

I'm sure having a depression/anxiety episode the last couple of months

I feel for you, my depression/anxiety has been at epic levels for a while now. Working on getting my meds adjusted but that's also always a process.

Sending virtual support, Matt and ND.

Sort of tangentially related, I had noticed an uptick in ADHD-ish um… behaviors, I guess?… in the last 6 months or so and finally decided to see about meds. I’m glad I did. I think they’re helping. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago, but I felt like knowing the diagnosis alone explained so much and helped in so many ways. Which it did, but I’m glad I decided to see about meds.

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

I wish getting the helpful meds wasn’t so hard. In so many ways.

Congrats to the Massachusetts peeps who get to keep Sen Mackey. Personally, I cannot fathom still wanting to work at 80; hell, I didn't want to keep working at 70.

I don’t want to keep working at 57. Good thing I was never called to public service, I suppose.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Here's hoping you can get the meds situation sorted and feel some relief soon, ND. I know for me it takes 5 or 6 weeks to fully feel the effects even when they get the dose/combo right.

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

Sat down with Emmett & Kalena and crunched the numbers and we're going to make a bid on the property. Looking at the Disclosure documents now (305 pages).

We've already cyberstalked the tenants (Finance Bro, Wedding Photographer, Non-Binary Marketing Coordinator).

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

You could set a reality TV show in this building!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Disclosure documents now (305 pages).

Wow, that seems daunting. How does it compare to the disclosure docs for your current place?
