          Strangers are buying the Cats of Arx Tarot deck on Etsy. 👀 I’m trying not to get excited. I’m trying.

                My father in law is back from the hospital, and I am so relieved he is feeling better.

                        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…

                            deserved that

                              My husband and I are officially certified as foster parents!!

                              Our certification worker wants to see us one more time before we get a placement.

                                  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.

                                        @Solstice I am forever fascinated by the weird overlaps and crossovers in brain drugs. I’ve been on everything in the world for chronic migraines. Somehow it doesn’t entirely surprise me that it would be anti-seizure meds that finally do the trick for you, and yet it fucking fascinates me. Brains are such weird, dysfunctional lumps of electrified biology. I’m glad you found someone who could work with you to find a better solution.

                                          Post foot surgery after a few weeks ago. No more vacuum seal on a years long ulcer on the sole of my foot. The bones are healing good, no daggy bits to make the ulcer not heal. And expected to ditch crutrches in another two weeks!

                                            Im out of work until Jan 2nd which isn’t ideal, but have been approved to go back which means I don’t need to frantically look for a new job. Yay!
