Doufám. Spolu s rasistickou, fašisticky nakloněnou policií, kteří dávají dobrým policajtům špatné jméno.

I've noted from a few of your recent posts that we're both experiencing an extremely irritable time...I can relate to the Tasmanian devil analogy. I appreciate the suggestion you & @Nammu made concerning my touching base with my pdoc. I have APs on hand, & my regular appointment is just eleven days away. I'm willing to wait until then if I can manage to get more than a few hours of sleep. There's a big difference between being awake & agitated, & being awake & full of positive, productive energy. I wish it was the latter, but not this time.

I'm sorry to hear that your mother is doing poorly, @captaineo. I once lived abroad, so can relate to the added stress distance creates when difficult things happen at home. I hope your living and working situation in Japan isn't causing too much stress. The old Japanese saying, "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down" has some truth to it. Being a Venezuelan gaijin (foreigner) probably makes you "stick up" to some extent. I hope that doesn't add to the other stressors you face. Take care of yourself.

I agree with BethRags, @whatever2013. Things might be different in Canada, but here in the States there's generally a grace period if your glasses aren't working out for you. It worth checking out. Sorry about the witch with a "b" who's been running your Zoom group. I know those meetings were a pleasant escape for you. I hope they'll return to being so soon.
