The speakers on my work laptop stopped working. Instead of sending me a new one, I have been doing a stupid dance trying to get a technician to show up to to fix them. Now I get to spend an entire day in the office with my boss, not actually getting my real work done. yippee.

He's awake. It's. Not great. He's going to have an extremely rough road ahead of him. But he's awake.

I have to go get a mammogram soon, because yaaaay 40. I mean, it's more the insurance only covered this yearly because 40, while the first mammogram was from concerning things that weren't concerning, but okay.

The chest freezer arrived, plugged in, filled with food.

Entropy is exhausting.

    For those of you who missed the prior installment of the RebekahWSD Lemmerific Comment Universe:

    I'm sorry you're going through it; I hope he keeps getting better.

    Chest freezers are amazing. What's your use case for one? Hunting for deer or hunting for sales?

    I'm surviving on beans and rice. I'm thinking I need to invest in some butane and a butane stove in case I lose electricity.

    While I know some hunters, it's mostly for meal prep and deals. Twin works at a grocery shop so knows when deals are happening.

    I probably should have put more info into stuff but I'm very disjointed right now.

    Sounds like a good use for a freezer. I think I'm just managing without anything that needs to be frozen, but if I had a basement I'd consider it.

    I know you're probably feeling disjointed, so I answered the question curious people might have on your behalf... no need to expound beyond that.

    Take care of yourself today.

    No mammogram today, because insurance + my doctor + whatever the fuck else is insane. And just. Fine. I'll go back to my NP and say "Hey put this through right and before the end of the year!" or something.

    Then on the way home the fucking hospital called me (where mother's husband is) so I miss and call back. "Hi why did you call?" "Dunno, patient name." Get transferred to his nurse, guy is like "Oh I guess his therapist called you to tell you he's fine and doesn't need 1 on 1 anymore" BUT WHY CALL ME. HIS WIFE IS ACTIVELY IN THE ROOM WITH HIM? HOW AM I EVEN A TERTIARY CONTACT FOR MY MOTHER'S HUSBAND? HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THIS NUMBER IT'S PRETTY NEW???

    I will go lay down and shriek into a pillow. Godspeed. Good luck.

    Sending hugs for your hard times, gorgeous soul. And just think, I could walk right past you on the street and not know how much chaos you're dealing with right now. I'm so grateful for this place that I can extend you some love in a hard moment. It sounds like you have some good people around you. Xxoo
