We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Things that happened the past week:

-Our tankless water heater died (it has been threatening to do so for two years but is really dead now), and we have to move it outside the house because the current one is vented completely wrong, so that's about $7800 between the new tankless heater and all the replumbing and removal. We will finance it, but sheesh.

-I went to the eye doctor to see why the corneal abrasion in my eye won't heal, and she diagnosed me with shingles. In my EYE. Which hurts a lot, for the record. So I'm starting the treatment immediately and have to cancel the colonoscopy I was supposed to have Thursday and the trip home to see my mom and extended family I was supposed to take this weekend.

-If I don't get an offer by the end of the month, my realtors recommended I take Dad's condo off the market until October and then try again. Money woes tmi.

-Newton, our middle dog, has to have two small tumors removed Wednesday.

-Kaylee, our old lady, is declining. Not sure how much time she has left.

It has been a lot. I'm doing okay and we will get through it -- not looking for solutions or anything -- but man.

Thrive to spite them

((Pix))) that is a lot and I'm really sorry you are dealing with it all at once.

(((Hec)))

Oof, that is a lot , Kristin. Shingles in your EYE? I am beyond sorry. That's awful take excellent care of that. Good vibes on all the rest, too.

Hec, that is a lot of mortality right in your zone. Sending you comforting, peaceful vibes and to your friend.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got back from Buffalo last night. Mr. S was discharged from the hospital on Friday, and stayed with the nanny over the weekend. We have referrals to various therapists for him. Let's see how it goes.

Oh, and thank you all. I needed the dose of positivity over recent events. Another forum I lurk at has a lot of people crying doom(mostly people who didn't want Biden to drop out- and they are blaming the posters who did) and it stresses me out. I know it's not going to be an easy road, but let's not give up yet.

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, Kristin! That is a whole lot of lot.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Pix, that is way too much for you to deal with, coming on the heels of everything you and Drew have had to deal with in the past year. I want your life to get very very boring and for your health to be good and your money to stay in your bank account, very very soon.

From your lips to the flying spaghetti monster's ears.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{Pix}}} I’m so sorry. That is entirely too much.

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

shingles. In my EYE.

Oh no! Sympathies and best wishes on the rest of it, I don’t mean to downplay any of it, but this in particular is hitting my lizard brain as terrible. I hope the reality is not so bad.

Me too!

David- I don't really know how to do this, but you need, like tier 3 support from UCSF. I am going to guess that there is also a University IT support AND a Medical IT supprt, and the right hand won't know what the left hand is doing. Is there an angry 50 year old woman at JZ's old office who could help with this? Because stuff like this chaps my ass and I am always escalating, but I know who to contact and what to say to escalate here at my University/Medical Center. I am 100% sure there is a profile on there that was somehow remote installed and it needs to be removed. I will ask my IT friends if they have any connections at UCSF, but they would be on the education side. This is ridiculous! I am angry!
