Backsliding

[cornerofmadness]

My sugar crashed out hard but I'm fine. So the drug is lowering my sugar (yay) but it's tearing up my stomach (boo). I'll stick it out a little longer. It took me a couple weeks to adjust to gabapentin after all. But if the GERD gets worse I'll have to give up.

Got a letter from the hospital because they don't know phones apparently. They scheduled my abdominal ct scan at 7 pm on the first. Okay I love that they HAVE a night appointment for those who work. On the other hand I live over an hour away...I'll call them and see if it can be a thursday.

My dentist called monday to reschedule. I keep calling back and no one returns that call.

Aspen called me and the girl keeps repeating what I wrote about them, as if trying to....I'm not sure. You don't need to repeat what I said. I know what I said. I appreciate the apology but I am keeping my eye on you. Also they tried to blame the other Aspen in PA which fair, they didn't reach out to me. Eye roll.


I got my spook_me prompts.

For cannibal I got
one and
two Not sure which one to use, probably one


And for Graveyard I got
one and

What I Just Finished Reading:

Wrong Side of the Grave - Bryna Butler mothman as an alien...she's a local author


What Moves the Dead - T. Kingfisher a very cool, queer coded retelling of the Fall of the House of Usher

The Road to Strange: Travel Tales of the Paranormal and Beyond by Rosemary Ellen Guilley and Michael Brein, one of the last thing I bought from her at a Mothman festival before her passing. I wish this were more interesting.



What I am Currently Reading:

Nothing Special vol 2 - a fantasy webtoon, it's cute

Jaws - I needed as J and one of my dentists handed me this to read. Someone's thesis on why there is so much malocclusion. Riveting (no, it's not)

Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World - imagine Gavin or Lindsey trying to get promoted at Wolfram and Hart and you more or less have it. It's interesting but it's hard to root for Colin since he's actively evil and petty


What I Plan to Read Next: I'm so behind on my challenges. something for that. I've lost track of where I put the books. I mean I know they're in the computer room but what box did I stick them in?

I'm sorry the medicine is not working AND causing issues.

I hate when my medical appointments are scheduled without my input. So aggravating.

I read your description about the book Jaws and was like, that sounds nothing like the movie, lol! Then I realized that if your dentist gave it to you, it probably wasn't at all like the movie. *g*

[cornerofmadness]

actually it was working but the side effects are just too much

yeah they should call the patient because we're just going to callin and reschedule and it's then twice the work

i should be so lucky that this jaws was as interesting as the movie

I got my prompts too, but with everything going on with mommy... I haven't looked at them yet.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh no, sorry to hear that. I didn't know your mom was having troubles

[shanachie_quill]

She fell and broke both bones in her arm. So it was a rough couple of months since they wouldn't let her use her hand. She's in PT now and it still aches (probably always will), but she's not as bad as she was.

[cornerofmadness]

oh man, that sucks. I'm glad she's recovering. Good luck to her in PT

[shanachie_quill]

It does suck. She did it two days after my birthday also so that was quite the event. Thank you. She's been pretty diligent about doing her exercises, but she's also been complaining that it aches. I feel terrible for her.

I'm glad she's diligent about it and I feel for her, this shit does ache.
