cornerofmadnessThanks to those weighing in on the wolf-dog name. Much appreciated.
Today was a monday. I was so blah about it all I pushed a test to next week and made some student days.
It was almost a trip to the urgent care for me. I was going to go to sleep last night without reading but saw all the editing I still had to do so I did that. I feel something in my hair. Yep another fucking tick. OMG. Had I gone to sleep it would have been embedded in my scalp and I seriously would have buzz cut my head.
The endocrinologist had no good news for me either. My HgA1c was up quite a bit and hopefully that's all down to the steroid shot but damn that was disappointing. She fears I might be habituating to the meds I'm on and there is a new one related to trulicty that might not make me ill like trulicity but insurance won't pay and since I have gastric paresis and might have had pancreatitis from trulicity so maybe not.
Let me get to those writing links I was too exhausted to yesterday

For music monday here's one I ran across in an Owl House amv (not linking that one). There's no reason I shouldn't have heard this on the radio other than mine is weird. It goes in spurts. For months it'll do new music then for half a year it regresses to the 70s-90s. I actually rather like Ava Max and I definitely felt in tune with this one
