After working retail for many years I try my best to not be rude to customer service people but that leaves my body the second my health insurance is involved. UPMC can shove it.

I applied for a department director job and I already feel queasy about it. I wish I was the kind of person that could just be confident in myself.

Wesley decided he was going to be independent at the vet and I am so insulted that he’s choosing to be an adult instead of my tiny squishy baby.

Every time my mother calls me she says “it’s your mother” like her picture doesn’t pop up on my phone when she calls.

Wesley has been with the cardiologist for 15 minutes and I’m pretty sure I’m the one in this family that needs to be sedated for these visits.

11 years ago I was diagnosed with MS! I had been having symptoms for almost a decade at that point. What I think was my first flare up happened my junior year of college. My face went numb. My doctor insisted it was likely from a migraine. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 28.

Since I started lexapro I’ve been having the most vivid dreams. Last night I dreamt I was at Idlewild and on the wild mouse coaster but for some reason it was weaving through the countryside and kept breaking down.

I met my cat 14 years ago. I can’t even believe it. It’s like we’ve been together forever and also no time at all. What a blessing it has been to know her in all the seasons of her life.

My health insurance is insurancing again and my doctor can’t figure out how to get them to cover a med he wants to prescribe. I sent him an email this morning saying I find UPMC exhausting and I don’t want to have to keep doing this and can we just stay with the current (not effective) regime.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and one of the cats is curled up next to me with their little head on my shoulder and it’s like how do people not let their pets sleep in bed with them? Who would want to miss out on kitten breath on their cheek?
