If it’s here on SD, a paid subscription will get you a reprieve from all the ads. $15 a year. It buys the hamsters running the servers another bag of kibble. ---

CC please add my thoughts and more thoughts because that’s is all I have. I had to call 5 different doctors offices before I could find one that was accepting new patients earlier than MAY! WTF Hampton Roads!!! ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > Just be thankful you’re not living in one of those socialist hell holes that ration access to health care. To be fair, I live in the UK and though I can get a doctor fine, there are no dentists taking on patients within an hour’s drive. There is an emergency one, but they’ll only see if you if you’re in pain or bleeding and they have one morning clinic a week, for which you have to book. ---

A little bit rant and a little bit sneak-brag… I just found a graphic I made posted on Facebook by another shelter. That is, not my shelter or one I have any association with. I made and posted it for my shelter. Part of me says, “Hey! That’s mine! My shelter paid me to make that and if you want me to make stuff for you, you can pay me, too!” Part of me says, “Hey cool! Someone liked something I made enough to snatch it and re-post it!” ---

I am getting slightly desperate, I havn’t had more than 5 hrs. sleep in 3 days. It has been napping for 30 min.to an hour at a time. I am starting to see stars and lights. Everything I do is taking twice as long. I can’t read and understand it. I am afraid to drive. I ordered some melatonin, I expect delivery today. Heres hoping. BTW, if I say anything crazy here on the SD board, please give me a pass. I am addled. ---

Yeah, but once you can finally crash I bet it’ll feel sooooooo good. And before I forget, thanks for mentioning chocolate gravy. I had to go look it up - I’m from Texas, not “The South” lol - and am intrigued. Let’s see if I actually remember to make the stuff, I have the memory of a lobitomized goldfish. Sadly, I can’t recall if I got that joke offa someone here. And before anyone rebuts … we share a climate, that’s for sure, but culturally and especially culinarily speaking, The South has its thing and that’s quite different from Texas. Except for fried okra. We all grow okra, cuz it can take the heat, and we all fry it, cuz you can’t beat fried okra. ---

Oh, I think of Texas as a whole other country. I have a sister in Austin who is all snooty if you call her a southener. Yea, okra is da bomb. ---

> [@overlyverbose](#): > > My rant of the day: Competitive Parenting The Eldest Nephew has never been the best at any sports, but that doesn’t deter him from loving them or playing them. Like his Crazy Aunt, he’s one of those people whose objectives in a specific game have more to do with doing better than last time than with beating anybody. After one soccer match, my brother\* was looking kind of long-faced but trying not to. The boy, whose Int is about twice as high as his Dex, eventually extracted the problem: in the last game, bro had been sitting next to the father of the school’s star player. Nephew told him “next time when he asks which one is your kid, tell him it’s the one making his look good. Someone has to, you know :D”. - whose sport skills are those of a particularly weak and mis-coordinated rock. To my rant: new job (is ok, so far I’m liking most of the people; one guy who is a sexist jerk is professional enough to only show it during meals and we’re going to spend more of the project 2000km apart), last week spent in a hotel. The bed was hard enough to crack heads on, the pillow low and barely-solid. I’m soooo looking forward to sleeping in my bed tonight! ---

Ugh! Lack of sleep rant. The Siamese are acting crazed. Running around chasing each other, rolling in a fake fight cat ball. So very cute! If it wasn’t so cute I’d probably lose it. Overgrown toddler kittens, oh my. They knocked the direct tv box off the shelf and every plug in came undone. I found the power plug and got it in the slot. It came on, good, no permanent damage. I am so sleep deprived, I couldn’t figure out were the other things plugged in. Mr.Wrekker came in and said he would do it. I sat in the chair and immediately nodded off. When I woke up, the tv was on and the box hooked up. And duct taped to the shelf. I laughed so hard I was actually crying. I went in the kitchen he had left a note telling me he was eating at the joint ( his hang out) and to leave the tape on the box til the cats chill out. It is so funny to me, I don’t know if I am just punchy or if it’s really that funny. ---

This house, in which I am a tenant and have no control over its construction, is starting to seriously fall apart. The deck is rotting, the ceiling is leaking, and the internet is sporadic at best but slow even when it’s working. I have repeatedly asked the landlord to address various issues, but they almost never follow up. Not in a malicious way, more in a lazy and cheap way. Ugh. ---

Back during the height of flu season we both came down with pretty severe colds. Even with meds we were both up most nights coughing ourselves silly. We both eventually recovered. Now I’m starting to cough the same way again and my face feels like there’s a 20-lb. weight inside it. I can’t win. ---

Oh, and my niece’s bridal shower is in a month. Got a reminder message from her sister. I haven’t RSVP’d because 1) I don’t the $ for a present, never mind 2) I’d have to go shopping for something to wear to this (see #1). I hate hate HATE things like this. Never mind that the sister hosting the shower will be having hers either later this year or early next year. ---
