My H has been making noises about doing this at some point after I retire. He has no idea where to, though.

I think in most states (definitely in mine, despite it being a blue state), you have to be below a certain income to qualify for Medicaid.

Ah, that would make sense for Medicare. I figured there was some sort of restriction.

In a move that will surprise no one except me, I asked H today whether we could reinstate the weekly calls.

I know I need to work on feeling safe with R again, but I don't know how.
I don't have to work at feeling safe with H.

Couch Workout Club day 53

Some light yoga in an attempt to ease my stomach's response to the events of the last few days.

I am watching my school do idiotic things while the students become less and less resilient. I think that the over eager attempts to be supportive on the part of do gooders is often more encouraging people to stay stuck in their issues/victimhood than it helps.

I’ve seen a few American YouTubers move to Portugal, Spain and Mexico. Though Mexican locals arenot happy with the influx..

Americans are flooding Mexico City. Some want them gone - Los Angeles Times

I sat through a talk today by our Vice President for Student Services and it was all about wellness and not stressing the kids out.

So the TEACHERS get a lesson in consequences, not the kids. Right!

I just grade during that crap from admin.
I wonder if we have one of those type vps - the law school is shielded a little from the absolute absurdness of what the undergrad people deal with

Couch Workout Club day 54

Went for a walk around town for an hour.

stopdog · Sep 24, 2024 at 11:49 AM

This was supposed to go here. I shouldn't try to post in the morning. I am not a morning person

We are now in a wet weather pattern as fall pushes summer out of the way. This makes all the animals cross and with the old, arthritic dogs - a fun time to be had trying to get them out to do their business. We all got wet 3 times yesterday and my dogs are decidedly not water dogs. One pushes me into puddles so he doesn't have to walk through them

I think the reality of my therapy with P ending is sinking in now. I'm dealing with anxiety and feeling depressed. His office lease is ending Dec 31 and he has to be in his new place in next state over by Jan 13. I don't want to do this. This is going to feel like a huge loss.

ChickenNoodleSoup · Sep 24, 2024 at 02:57 PM

Thanks for your advice, guys, I'll give them that government website. They are in their early 60s, they have looked into medicaid, not sure what was up with that, I think they are a bit too young or smth.

I too wouldn't want to live in the US. I actually gave back my green card because I didn't want to live there. My mom, however, grew up in the US and was forced to move when she was 9. Ever since she has had the dream to go back, and since she won the green card lottery she wants to even more. I'm not gonna stand in her way on that, even if I think it's a stupid idea.

Hugs, NP. I'm sorry this is happening to you. And I'm sure his having an actual date makes it all too real. I'm sure I'd be feeling similarly.
