After months of fighting to get into a specialist, I am scheduled for a nerve block on my back. I cannot express how excited and relieved I am. There is no repairing the damage to it but I can prevent further damage once I can actually use my back again to exercise and stuff.
As someone getting foot surgery week after next. Right there with ya!

I was intensely worried about this school year given the difficult history the kiddo and I have had with his school re: zero enforcement around bullying policies and a few incredibly bizarre teachers (Satanic Saiyan Panic, I’ll never forget ye), but so far everything has been very smooth sailing. the weight this has taken off my mind is hard to even describe.

Met with a therapist and we clicked. First time using one in a long time, working on being the better me. I miss mushing, but need to focus on myself for a bit. Might see ya’ll in the future might not, but I hope everyone is doing well out there in the land of MU!

When work is going well, and life is just going well in general. It feels nice to take a deep breath and know that everything is going to be okay.

The candidates that want to continue our good work won the school board race.
The relief is PALPABLE today, even as we hide our joy from the kids. Lots of silent fist bumps.

We shouldn’t take pleasure in the misfortune of others, blah blah blah, but…
Today I found out that a very-deserved bad something that was a long time in coming happened to a terrible person who did horrible things, treated people poorly, and enabled other people to be even worse.
I’m pretty fucking happy about it and don’t feel guilty about that at all.
And before you think I’m just being petty, we’re talking about an executive in the pharmaceutical industry, who worked for a company that absolutely got included in a bunch of the opioid lawsuits. So…

@junipersky Forgive my ignorance. For human kids or for the furry kid variety?

Human kids! We may still take on the occasional furry baby still, but human is the big accomplishment!

I’ve been on benzos for my panic attacks for the last 20 years. They’ve been sedating and miserable but have been the only thing that have done the job. Worse, any temporary lapse in them meant I’d be a quivering pile of sobbing withdrawal.
With the help of a psychiatrist, we found something else that worked, finally. An anti-seizure med, of all things. Sure, why not. Not questioning it. It works.
And after a grueling stepdown process over the course of the last year, rife with mini-withdrawals, I’m finally fucking free of benzos.
And that feels just enormously great to say.
