@Miguel'smom...I wish I knew what I could write to make you feel safer. You are in a pretty miserable spot...I just wanted to let you know you're not writing into an abyss. Hang in there.

@whatever2013...You can microwave chicken breasts in about 4 minutes (test it after 2-3) if you ever crave protein again. That would probably be healthier & cheaper than protein shakes. Just my opinion. Congrats on getting vaccinated!

@Moose72...I'm glad you got your eye situation cleared up...and YES!!! It's getting hot here, too, but we vowed to keep our air conditioning use to a minimum this year, as well. Congrats on the weight loss! Maybe we'll both be able to sweat a few pounds off by the sound of things!

@wildflowerchild25...I'm glad you're doing a bit better. I skipped the part where you were talking about birth control. Since I think I'm about the only cis-man (I think that's a term) on the bipolar boards, it's hard for me to read about some of the women's issues that are shared sometimes (not by you specifically). I know...I'm a prudish old man!

@Soupe du jour...Your post reminded me of the day I went to the Ausländeramt (Foreigner's Office) to get my residency papers in Germany! It was a bit unnerving. Your next step will be to get your Czech drivers' license. Oh, joy! You surely hit a home run with your pdoc. Ask him if he does Zoom calls to the States for me!

@Jennifer 1967...I noted that you kind of shifted gears in your last post to put a more positive spin on things. Good on you!

@Nammu...My paternal grandparents both emigrated from Scotland. I think (not sure) they spoke English! Be careful wishing to move somewhere when you don't have a firm grasp of the language! (Kidding, of course.)

Since you women sometimes write about your periods, breasts & such, I don't feel quite so embarrassed adding that I'm sweating my balls off tonight! It will be hard to get to sleep.

Tomorrow is Friday. Have a good one, peeps!
