This Barbie is extra bendy.
Back at the rheumatologist and am (as always) the youngest person in the waiting room.

Somehow I have things scheduled every day this week. Today’s adventure is voice therapy for my vocal cord dysfunction that no one knows what is causing. Not working and being sick is becoming busier than working.

Heading to Detroit for the night for Paris Paloma show! I’m so excited to try out my new upright rollator. Where should we eat dinner in the downtown area?

At the waiting room for PT listening to these 2 boomer women talk about not understanding their grandkids (Gen Z) dating habits is hilarious.
March 10, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Fucking weirdo boomers. Why on earth would you come ring my doorbell in the middle of the day & then when I don’t answer come to my FRONT WINDOW & yell “Hello”??? You hear my dogs going insane. I don’t want to talk to you. No my Scamp trailer parked BEHIND MY HOUSE is not for sale.

Eric said “Some of the guys from the lodge are getting together tonight do you want to come?” And that’s how I ended up at the private Shriner’s club in the basement of an office building in Grandview.

The way this sweet girl lays here with her paw on my arm and purrs is one of the best things 🥰

A week ago the other members of my family moved their pot smoking outside to see if it helped my new asthma. I woke up today for the 3rd day in a row with energy & no tightness in my chest!!!

Day 4 of dog sitting the parents’ dog, Pearl. She is firmly not allowed on furniture at home, but finally today she remembered that here she is. Currently she’s excited panting so hard she’s making the bed shake 🤣

Today’s weirdness at the old person eye specialist is an old man in the waiting room reading aloud to himself in a loud whisper. It is much less busy than last time at least.
January 30, 2025 at 3:09 PM
Welp. I watched TikTok till the end. I am genuinely so sad right now.

At the rheumatologist & out of the 9 of us in the waiting room I am the only one masked. It’s bonkers to me. Some of these folks are sure to have autoimmune issues. Am I good about masking everywhere? No. But at the Dr, yes, always.

Who is your celebrity birthday twin? We’re the exact same age.

Tomorrow I’m going in to the office for a few hours to transfer logins under my email to a colleague. I have not worked since December 2nd & have decided I am not going to be able to return. I’m applying for disability & trying to decide what my next chapter looks like.
January 13, 2025 at 4:04 AM
I might, just maybe, have started to feel better. I have been sick for two months and this is the second day in a row where I woke up with energy. Pneumonia is no joke y’all.
January 10, 2025 at 3:44 PM
I started the application for disability today. I don’t think I’ll get it, but I think it’s time to start trying.

We had no commitments today which was glorious. I felt less like death than I have recently. Aiden bought something called a “dab machine” & proceeded to get Eric stupidly high & then they made peanut butter blossoms together. We ate cheese & cookies for dinner & now I’m in bed. Merry Christmas!

Back at the eye specialists with all the old people in central Ohio. A woman in a wheelchair is with her son. They are making the next appointment & she says to the son that she thinks a certain time is good “This way you don’t have to spend as much time with me.” Ooof.
December 19, 2024 at 7:33 PM
Today sucked. I spent all day feeling like I was gasping for breath with a tight band around my chest. Don’t get pneumonia guys, it’s really awful.

My brother is single and has been making $80k plus for at least the last 7-8 years. He is impossible to shop for b/c he buys what he wants. asked him what he wants for Christmas & he gave me 2 options for a watch band. These fuckers are $200 plus!! We live very different lives.

I could cry. This new PCP just spent and hour with me. We talked about everything & she listened & asked questions & never made me feel like I was making a big deal out of nothing. I think I love her.

Just got to my rheumatology office for my 1 pm appt, 15 minutes early like they tell you to be & there is a sign on the check-in window that they are on lunch & will be back at 1. Why am I here 15 minutes early then?
December 12, 2024 at 5:45 PM
I need to brag about my kid for da minute. He is 20, and just got his 1st job. He approached our HVAC guys when then were here for our winter maintenance & asked about apprenticeships. They said they don’t have a program, but to come in and talk to the boss.
December 12, 2024 at 4:54 AM
Welp. It’s official, I’m on medical leave. Until I’m able to breathe properly again and get a handle on this debilitating fatigue there is no way I can work.
