Ugh the last two weeks have been CRAP!!! But, some good has come of it. I'll share some good, bad, and ugly.
This week, I have learned:
1. Lexapro is a hell of a drug.
2. My body will crash my brain after 7 days of insomnia, and I will hallucinate by day 10.
3. My spouse has the patience of a saint.
4. The kickback of a gun is nowhere near as forceful as it looks.
5. I'm good at shooting!
6. I may or may not have a job right now.
7. I never expected to feel so indifferent regarding my employment status. It feels revealing to me to realize how unattached I feel to it. Maybe my dislike for it has really grown that much.
8. I feel like the Boy Child has suddenly grown more mature and its freaking me out a little. I know he's in the pre-teen zone, but I'm not ready for this. I find myself checking in on him often and smothering him with mama love just to make sure my boy is still my boy. *sigh* This poor child is stuck with me.
9. If you tell them to stop building....
They will.
(I find this hilarious to an inappropriate degree.)
10. The A-Hole Dog only likes the dog park if she's on her leash. She also acts like she feels incredibly violated when another dog sniffs her butt.
11. Go to the following thread. Go to top comments, find on page, type "Robb Stark". Only do this if you are caught up on GOT. Also, only do this if you are not offended by politics, and if you do not plan in any way to come back here and blast me for sharing a comment that compares Trump to Joffrey and Balon Greyjoy.
12. I like my ellipses with 4 dots, just like I like my lights (THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!!). Farawyn, we can take this outside if you want....
13. The spouse and I owe so much money in taxes that I can't even. We changed exemptions when we got blasted by state last year. Didn't matter. We owe thousands to federal and the state we live in. As in, we owe thousands to federal and thousands more to state. Can't wait to see how much the state I work in swindled. I swear to the Bearded Commander Riker that we had more money on one crappy income than we have now, with me working, too. Maybe I need to not work during grad school. :\
14. I am so excited for grad school!!!
I know I'm forgetting stuff. Boo! I'll remember right after the edit window closes, I'm sure!
Ahhhhh coloring!!! I have been doing this since my last day at work and the hubs has actually joined me in this effort. He's all embarrassed to know I'm on to his enjoyment of coloring, so he won't color without me. He asks, "are you coloring tonight?"
It's adorable!
I missed the last day of work announcement, was this planned for school or did something happen?
I'll join in on the Lexapro party. I have bipolar 2 & am on a tiny dose of Lexapro along with a mood stabilizer.
This week has not been treating me well. It's starting to look like I may need to leave my husband. He has suddenly become very verbally abusive & I fear for what comes next. I can't go through that again.

"Last" as is most recent prior to this thread. [emoji5]ï¸
I am on leave, however, so I'll have a stretch of work-less days. (Because of the event leading to the thread title, and because I'm getting a PLIF in April.)
I have learned that coolsculpting is hardly the "painless" procedure with "no downtime" it is advertised to be. Well, I guess it depends on your area treated. My chin is fine and only annoyed me the first day, but I am six days out and where they put that large applicator on my upper abdomen is still giving me a lot of problems. You don't realize how much your belly bounces during normal activities like walking until it hurts when it bounces. I have been wearing a corset all week, which feels wonderful. Never imagined wearing a corset would feel good but it does.
I'm just hoping the annoyance quits by next Thursday, when I'm getting the other side of my abdomen and a few other areas done. Hopefully I will only have one side hurting at a time and not both.
On a side note, if your patient is going to have pain, don't tell them that it's going to be a "weird sensation" when the applicator is placed and turned on. The tech operating the machinery warned me about the weird sensation, which was PAIN! Pain is not a weird sensation. Pain is pain. I would have appreciated being warned a bit more, just saying.
