Prudie day

Casadena · October 2023

Morning! Sitting in a hospital waiting room expecting a call any minute to come to H's recovery room. Hoping he can get some answers for why he's been feeling so crappy lately. Taking him out for a huge meal when we leave! What's up with everyone?

Here’s hoping all went well @Casadena! I hear a big feast is always in order after those.

it’s dreary and gloomy out. A slow day at work and it’s going to drag just like yesterday. I want to skip out and go to walmart for a few things…. But I also want to leave early to get ready for tonight’s function. It’s slow enough I can probably do both, but morally I won’t.

It's dreary and rainy today.

We've been having a massive fruit fly issue in our house recently and could not figure out why it was so bad, especially since the weather is cooling off. I looked at the top of the fridge this morning and saw a blackberry carton on top of the fridge that was an entire science experiment. IDK who put that up there, but ugh...gross. Hopefully cleaning that nastiness up takes care of the flies.

SSDD otherwise. My most high-maintenance person is being super extra this week. They wear me out when they get like this.

Prudie coming up.

It’s hot and sunny today- the last day of second summer in Buffalo and I’m going to try and convince H we need to walk for ice cream tonight.

I basically told someone their request wasn’t my job today so we’ll see how that shakes out. To be fair it isn’t and I told them two days ago I’d help connect who could help them and they already followed up asking if it’s in someone’s queue. Ummm… no. And it won’t be soon because it’s not a priority for us. I.e- we don’t work for you!

Good luck with that @charlotte989875 and I'm glad you found the source @mrsconn23!
Our second summer is wrapping up today too, there aren't any days in the forecast that are supposed to have highs out of the 60s but fingers crossed. The promise of fall weather, a small win at work today and of course, the divorce, have me in positive spirits.

I hope the procedure went well @casadena.

Well, it finally happened. H got an official diagnosis of ADHD. Which, I already knew, but somehow the official diagnosis hits different. He’s freaking out about the meds but I think they’ll be more helpful than he thinks. I told him coping mechanisms are great with ADHD until they’re not and you’re just burned out and fried. Then I was talking to my mom this morning and she mentioned that both her and my dad have ADHD (dad I already knew about, and I always suspected for her) and then she hit me with “you got diagnosed with it too when you were younger but I didn’t want to medicate and I didn’t believe the doctor.” Ma’am, respectfully but what? My whole life I’ve struggled with certain things and I’ve narrowed it down in recent years that I probably do have it, but you didn’t think maybe this was a major cause of distress to me growing up? Have you seen yourself and dad? Jfc. Mom’s really lucky my sense of humor is great (probably because of the ADHD, lol).

And then in other news, I pulled a total boomer move yesterday. I was walking out of the gym, headphones were tangled around my phone and the camera was on, so I was trying to untangle and turn off the camera and instead I somehow unlocked the phone and called SIL A. I immediately hung up but she called back and then we had an awkward conversation (not addressing any of the past things) about planning a family event for Sunday. So I guess we’re talking now? I’m still going to bring stuff up although I know she’s hoping it’s over and done with. But this means I can’t sent her the long text I had written and was planning on sending if she didn’t reach out. At least even writing it was kind of cathartic.

Otherwise SSDD.

@Casadena, good luck! I hope you all get some answers and it's an easy solution.

@mrsconn23, gross! I hate when a food item accidentally gets left somewhere it shouldn't be. I used to share an office with a coworker who had a banana every day for breakfast. And, every day, he'd have fruit flies flying around his desk and trash can. He'd complain about it and knew it was the banana peel. Sometimes I'd remind him if he threw away the peel in the break room trash, it wouldn't happen. But usually I'd ignore him with a "mmm...hmm" or "yeah", because for reasons I don't understand he would never do that.

Work has really picked up at my job and it's great! It's funny how I'm happier when I'm busier. Even though it's kick-back and I can waste my time online, when it isn't busy. I become bored and feel so unproductive, which leaks into me being lazier in my personal life also.

I got my paycheck stub the other day and realized that I am getting low on vacation hours after my Alaska trip! We are supposed to do a long weekend in Cincinnati to evaluate if we want to move there. I had wanted to do it this month, but it will probably need to be next month for a variety of reasons, but one of them is it would use up most of my vacation time that is left if we did it this month.

@levioosa, I can sympathize so much with you on "oh by the way, you've had this medical condition for years and we never mentioned it". Although for me it was a different situation and medical diagnosis.

I have been very angry for months that I had to figure out for myself that I have pretty extreme insulin resistance, on top of my T1 diabetes. And the night and day difference that taking a drug like Mounjaro has made for me, both in reducing my insulin needs and my weight. I suspect the insulin resistance started at least 20 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. I realize these GLP-1 drugs are relatively new and a lot more powerful. But ffs, even older T2 drugs like Metformin probably would have helped me years ago. It guts me that I saw three different endocrinologists over that time period and none of them said a word.
