Chronic illness, disability, too many cats, and intolerant of intolerance. Trying to be me.
This year I'm really grateful to #FrontierInternet for telling me if I pay them an extra $25 a month, I can get internet that actually works.
What is it they think I signed up for? I pay them a monthly price and they let me have internet whenever they feel like it?

Wait till they find out how old my car is.
This will never be me - I bought an M4 Mac Air just before my book tour - but I think the premise of "device hoarding" here is ridiculous. With every major purchase, buy as well as you can and then use that thing until you can't use it any more. That's just sensible.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

What a morning.
Doc's office just called. My Rx for amlodipine had run out and I couldn't get it refilled. Messaged doc to ask her to fax in a refill.
I was supposed to have stopped taking it.
Back in May.
I have searched my brain and have no memory of the doc telling me that.

Sharing, because I didn't know there was a name for this phenomenon. Mine is just that top arch and it flickers and sparkles like crazy while it slowly drifts from left to right across my vision. At first it was followed by a migraine, but the past few years, it's just the scotoma.
I've been "enjoying" scintillating scotomas more often recently. They're difficult to describe, and images online don't really capture it. But the first thing I thought when I saw them was "I should make a shader of this" – so here's a demo, it's pretty close: meetar.github.io/scotoma/

I have officially given up on my to-do list.
I now have a to-do notebook instead.

Doctor's appointment with lab work yesterday.
Today is waiting for lab results day. Will labs be "fine"? "Normal"? Or "you need to see a specialist"?

I had an MRI a few years ago. You bet I knew why.
I'd twisted my back; x-rays showed a slipped disc. The insurance co. insisted on physical therapy. When that didn't "fix" the problem, I had to have the MRI before they'd let me have meds for the pain.
Had to "prove" I wasn't faking, I guess.

This came up in my FB memories today. Seemed appropriate. Caption if you can't read it says: "I was 15 and working at Vacation Bible School. It was a strange church, they thought teenagers were meant to babysit, not to marry."
Marry, f*ck, whatever. #APedophileIsAPedophile

This week I see my pain management doctor, next week my PCP. I'll be collecting all my prescriptions so I can research where to get them filled at a price I can afford.
Because it's all about #affordability. Trump doesn't like people to say that word, so I'll say it again.
AFFORDABILITY.

I am so sad that in the most recent election, I only got to vote for Texas constitutional amendments. I am sooooo ready to vote these cowards out of office. Let me at 'em.
