Omg, so much sweat. What the hell. My back starts sweating (INDOORS) if I stand too long, like y'know, just talking to friends in a bar.

I am dogsitting my nephew's dog this weekend. She's a sweetheart. I'm getting tons of puppy kisses. Though I had to put her to bed a little while ago. If I picked my phone up, she would run off to act like she's going to do something naughty in order to get me to put the phone down and give her attention. Such a smart little stinker. But I was trying to finalize some travel plans for next month and she was having none of it.

I'd like to just say that this thing is awesome and YOU are awesome!

Thank you!

Going to the doctor does this to me too, kitty.

My mom's exasperated "shit a fiddle!" when fed up with something / something broke. When I was younger, she didn't really say curse words around me except for this.

I've never heard any one else ever say this. Not in Appalachia, or anywhere. She probably made it up herself. But in the 80s she also dated a Korean War fighter pilot/POW (crashed, survived, & captured, unsure of release details). And he could have had a creative catalog of swears that she borrowed from.

I love this! What is the language? Danish, Swedish, or am I totally off base?

I'm now inspired to make a cross stitch of this accordingly.

That's pretty common in my area. Tell your wife she needs to get out more!

You can mix it up by saying "six of one, baker's dozen of the other" and see if she catches on.

I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

• do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
• can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
• do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
• have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
• are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!

If I can't leave work because important meetings I can't get out of, I'll go sit in the car and breathe, or excuse myself to the bathroom if I have to (including going to another floor sometimes) and try a quick grounding exercise like rainbow grounding or the one where you visualize a warm light filling you from first your toes, then calves, then knees, so on and so on. I can usually hold myself together afterward until the end of the day, but I know I will be falling apart that evening. I will prep the honey to pick up pizza or order DoorDash and plan on playing Playstation.

Generic extended release methylphenidate was what my primary care doc first tried me on. I noticed it a little and thought ok, it's still really hard to function. What do people mean that getting on medication was a game changer for them?

After about a year of this, trudging through my day still, I got in to see a psych about a month ago who switched me to Vyvanse, and holy cow. I'm functioning again! Wtf?!

I will say that my sleep has suffered some, but that's a little bit on me for not taking my meds early enough in the day.
