Same Brenda. But I’m figuring either shit goes so bad that my retirement money is just a pipe dream, or I’ve got long enough that it can bounce back. I hope.
Same. I'm not getting Social Security in any case (government job), and I hope I won't be retiring for at least another twenty years or so, and I tend to invest pretty conservatively, so I'm hoping everything will work out on that front.
In other annoyances, the ADHD meds shortage continues. The past several months, my doctor has had to call the pharmacy each month and find out what they happen to have in stock so that she can prescribe me that, so my dosage has been changing every thirty days. It's getting ridiculous.
I am eating all the Girl Scout Cookies* I ordered from trans Girl Scouts.
*not made from real girls but sold by real girls.
::sigh::
Old-folks problem. I slept on my hand. Now it hurts enough that I want to take some ibuprofen to relieve the pain -- but my hand hurts too much to open the bottle.
Mild heat will have to do, for now.
Ouch! Yes, the bottle tops can be ridiculously difficult to open. See also, Gatorade bottles. I don't drink the stuff but I have to open the bottles for my sister.
From the movie
Lawrence of Arabia
“Certainly it hurts.”
“Well, what's the trick then?”
“The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.”
I am failing at that, today.
I'm the biggest baby in babyland when it comes to pain. Seriously, it is embarrassing how little pain I can endure. This combined with my inability to take most painkillers is an issue. Since they can't give me opioids for pain they end up giving me valium so I won't care about it. That said, I did endure childbirth without help a couple of times. That sucked, but I was more afraid of needles, see above big baby note.
That sucks, dcp. Hope the heat helps
There is one single solitary person who is not me in the office this morning. It's a little early still, but it is not usually *this* quiet. Ominous.
I have to say that I’m really glad I was at work last night & didn’t even have to think about listening to the ranting of the madman in the White House. Reports this morning have been plenty.
Yeah, just reading other people react to it was a lot

My suspicion is that one day you'll come into work and find yourself the CEO and sole employee after the last round of layoffs.
