I really do feel all over the place. I've been waking up with anxiety attacks for a while. Peak at 4.45am but they calm down after an hour or so.

Originally said I couldn't do today's extra morning session with R as I have classes, but we finished early. I messaged asking if it was still available. The message was read but he didn't reply. Said I could wait until tomorrow when my old slot was open but I don't think I want that anymore. I've been doing my usual to and froing. Don't think normal talk therapy can touch this phase right now. Not surewhat to do.

Morning couchies! Well, I still don't know where she was hiding but Penelope came sauntering over when I got up this morning and went out to the kitchen to look outside - she was in the house all along some super-duper-secret place. We turned this place upside down last night trying to find her. I am so relieved after tossing and turning all night!

Maybe you could buy a GPS collar for them.

I bet it was a test to see how much they loved her.

Any holes in the walls?

Glad Penelope returned, Artie!

Is that a thing? That's a great idea for Penny anyway. The other 2 I'm not worried about. Rascal has never tried to leave, and Stormy has on occasion but he doesn't go far and knows his way home.

I totally believe this could be true, about the test. She doesn't trust anybody. No holes in the walls that we have ever seen. One place I didn't actually think to look and I just looked up there right now, is on top of the refrigerator behind h's lunchbox. I suppose it's possible she could have been in the shadows back there, it's a low space under the cabinet, but she could have mushed into it. I don't know why I didn't look there when i looked every other possible place!

Banner morning - I found person's stash of antibiotics (don't bother telling me this is a bad plan - I know the position of the medical establishment that is designed to keep sick people subservient and as supplicants). - haven't heard a word from either the urgent care or the md I talked to and I am done with them.

unaluna · Jan 21, 2021 at 11:04 AM

Just that if they smell like vinegar, they may have gone bad. If they are like solid white tabs.

Have you done a dr on demand, on the phone? They are REALLY awful. One gave me an antibiotic that is almost sure to give me c difficile. But at least it is over and done with pretty quickly.

SlumberKitty · Jan 21, 2021 at 11:09 AM

So glad Penelope is home Artie!

SlumberKitty · Jan 21, 2021 at 11:20 AM

I couldn't figure out why Amelia wasn't eating too well. My Dad solved the problem. He had mixed in some food I had tried on her a while back that she had snubbed her nose at (even though it was an expensive food, I swear all my cats like is garbage food) with her regular food and she was not having it. So he had to go back through the container and dig out the ones that he had mixed in so she would eat.

I've seen them advertised for kids but they are a thing for pets too.

I am ready for my three day weekend off of work (Sat. Sun. and Mon.)

The girl that has been out of work due to Covid is coming back on Monday. She has a negative test result and she has been out the 14 days. The General Manager says she sounds like crap but if she wants to come back and kill herself that is up to her, as long as she is negative. She has pneumonia too. I hope that isn't catching.

atisketatasket · Jan 21, 2021 at 01:19 PM

Killing time in the Caution flag part of the vaccine place. They actually tied caution tape around my car mirrors.

chihirochild · Jan 21, 2021 at 01:19 PM

Aaaaaaaaugh. I've been teaching my roommate to drive, and we were driving and she got rear ended. Now I have to deal with the insurance company and all this crap. She's going to pay, obviously, since she was the one driving, but it's still stupid and annoying.

I should never have agreed to teach her to drive when she asked. I was trying to be nice, but clearly I should not have been and should have looked after my own interests.

atisketatasket · Jan 21, 2021 at 01:27 PM

Shouldn’t the insurance of whoever rear-ended her pay? Isn’t that their fault?

Tell her to hire a driving school. Niceness is often overrated.

Yes the other party's insurance will pay but there are always random expenses like having to rent a car while mine's in the shop. Plus the time and annoyance factor.

Yeah I'm not really sure what I'm going to do going forward. I don't really want her driving my car anymore.

unaluna · Jan 21, 2021 at 01:33 PM

Thats a really big thing to ask of you. Like huge. If driving school is expensive, theres a good reason. What is she kills someone while youre out together? Sorry - my dad was always great at worst case scenarios, but this really is not trivial. Not in the US.

I really haven't had any hallucinations since starting the Latuda.
