Dude, I'm not as deaf as I claim to be.

I do have some hearing loss in my left ear (driving for years with your window down (no ac) and going in excess of the 70mph speed limit'll do that to you), and for whatever reason I struggle to understand people when they are in front of me, and I often read their lips a lot for cues, but shit people say from my side or behind me? I hear and ( Read more... )

Rough weekend

I don't even really have the spoons to talk about the damn thing, but my weekend was really bad. Saturday there was a cousin's wedding that involved traveling to Toledo, wrangling my crazy grandparents (grandpa is a crotchety old grumpus that I wanted to yell at several times and grandma has dementia, so I had to re-explain how they were getting ( Read more... )

I have the most amazing friends EVER.

So... wow, you guys. I am amazed and deeply humbled by just how much support has come flowing in over the last couple days since I told you guys about my insurance situation. You all are amazing, and I love you so much. <3

You will also be keeping me very, very busy. XD

So I'm in a little bit of a jam. My insurance received paperwork with my name on it from the healthcare marketplace reporting that I had lost my credit, and as a result, my premium has gone up $87/month and my copays have jumped from $5 to $25. My insurance costs enough that I am barely scraping by as it is, with a VERY narrow margin and no savings ( Read more... )

Real talk time: So last night was karaoke night, and I got there right at 6:30 so the parking lot was full. There's a large parking lot for a strip of grocery stores a short block away, so I park there when needed. It was sort of drizzly, so I grabbed my umbrella in case it decided to start pouring by the time I left ( Read more... )

Just in case I was starting to rest easy, my mental illness has decided to remind me that it's a chronic, cyclical condition. I'm struggling with the usual burden nonsense, though now it's morphed into "Nobody really loved you, they just tolerated you while you were a burden, and they're happy that you're gone" with a dose of "you're worthless" and ( Read more... )

Homecoming!

I have an apartment! It's actually pretty well set up already, because my family is awesome and helped put all the furniture where it goes, and unpacked my kitchen and bathroom and such. When I came into my room to answer where I wanted something and saw my bed put together, I totally lost my shit and started to cry ( Read more... )
