(SHOUT OUT TO MEMEKON, THE GODDESS WHO HELPED ME GET BACK ON LJ)
So I've spent the last month trying to get this stupid website to work, and every time I had thought I had solved it, yet another issue with the internet cropped up, which *sigh*
But hey, whatever stupid script that I can't block and/or maneuver around is GONE in the mobile version. I am even on lj's post page right now and I'm typing this. I have defeated whatever CSS doesn't like my home's internet! \o/
How's everyone? :D

It's just with the second surgery and more major antibiotics, I am off of basically everything keeping me okay. No anti anxiety anything, no allergy meds, not even my vitamin E, and now that I'm off opiates, no painkillers either.
But I only have a couple more days of this and then however long it takes me to build up back to decent, mood wise.
I still do cherish everyone and such, but I can't concentrate or settle or relax right now. I am however coloring a bunch of mandalas from an old art therapy book of mine and organizing my bookmarks and catching up on my podcasts.

( but I feel great otherwise!Collapse )
[edit] Also, thank you everyone for all of your well-wishes and sympathies. Because the clinic and the hospital were having problems communicating, I think it might actually end up cheaper? Not sure. Here's hoping? In any case, paying in cash will knock 50% off, so it might actually end up affordable, who knows.

having cried it out, but still, this no insurance thing sucks. *sigh*

- Thank you, everyone, for the amazing response. I really needed it, and I appreciate all the reassurance that the surgery will fine. Actually, I must look petrified, because everyone I've talked to in the last couple of days has reassured me. :)
- First round of payments sorted and I am officially booked for next Friday. Can't live on antibiotics forever, right?
- My mom got a nicer job today, yay! and my sister called me, and my MIL apologized for being rude *and* took us out for lunch and a drive. I really appreciate the universe paying it forward.
- I WON A BOOK OMGS :DDDDD [edit] Whoops, forgot to put the pertinent info: Poltergeeks by Sean Cummings

Well, at least doctor's visits aren't terribly expensive? *laughs weakly*
It was $93 to see the dermatologist and they will call me back when the surgeon is free and I've spent enough time on antibiotics.
The bad news was how much the antibiotics cost sans insurance: $190.87
*sigh* At least it's getting done and the doctor was nice. She nerded out (her words) over the cysts and we had (slightly painful) fun getting samples to culture. And she thinks the antibiotics will relieve a lot of the pain too, which will be amazing.

- IT IS ALMOST TUESDAY, THANK EVERYTHING HOLY.
- Dratted dollar sale at the Nook store, spent gift card on books.
- Probate proceeds apace; I am exhausted from the boring butt-numbing bits, and the dirty humid mosquito-y rained on musty bits, but at least it's getting done.
Complaining time now because I deserve it: OW THIS STUPID THING. I OFFICIALLY DON'T LIKE SHARP POKE-Y PAIN. At least it's down from a 10, I hate sleeping all day (painkillers of all sorts don't work very well on me, sadly) now I get to sit carefully and at least read light fluffy stuff. *sigh*
Almost Tuesday.
I have been so excited to tell you lot what I've been reading that I completely missed posting yesterday because I am easily distracted. ;(
What did you just finish reading? Mary Robinette Kowal's sorta Jane Austen + magic series. (The first one is called Shades of Milk and Honey.) I was on Jim C. Hines's blog looking for something interesting to read that 1) wasn't dystopian or post-apocalyptic; 2) was longer than a single book; 3) was written by a woman. His review made the book series sound right up my alley and I basically fell in love and ate them all up.
What are you reading now? The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger. I finally downloaded the first couple of chapters of the first book when I was searching around book blogs for reviews of Kowal's book, so I could find more books along the same lines. Well, the google search returned a bunch of book blogs whose shorthand verdict was: Kowal's books will entertain people who like the rubbish that is the Parasol series. (No lie, the first blog I found actually used that frequently in reviews as a shorthand - good for people who like the Parasol series.)
You all know me: I went ahead and got the series and rushed through them just to see how it ended. It was so good that I have immediately started to reread slower to enjoy the world and take it all in now that I know what happens.
What do you expect to read next? The comic series Lumberjanes! Girl Scouts solving mysteries and beating monsters, what's not to love?

- Reading stuff again \o/
- Got a couple of movie tickets as a present from my Gramps, went to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 - it was great!
- Through a combination of ibuprofen and sitting very carefully, I currently don't hurt :)
- Mom actually came over and helped clean out more of the old food \o/
- Finally got to watch the new Fairy Tale eps
- New air filter, hopefully that will help with the allergies
So I actually was brave enough to make a dermatologist appt for my cysts. I was hoping I could finally get insurance first, but one of them hurts so much it's hard to walk and sit and sleep, so yeah :(
Here's hoping this isn't super expensive. *crosses fingers*
Long week so far, as always ;)
- Over with the cramping portion of the month
- Mom got to sign the papers finally! \o/ We went out to celebrate
- Now we have the internet (mostly) in the loft. Well, at least enough internet to IM reliably, which is the important part
UGH CLEANING OUT STORAGE ROOMS. But I took care of myself yesterday, was hydrated, monitored my blood sugars et al. so I could enjoy taking a break today!
- watched the men's final of the French Open :)
- broke out my calligraphy supplies
- had a nice breakfast *and* lunch \o/
