They have accepted my counter counter offer, as emotional damages so that they are not taxed like wages. Here is hoping we get this done asap

@silverfox You could donate money to food banks, maybe? They can get more food per dollar than a regular old person donating food, and they're getting hit pretty hard right now, with so many people in need.

@Cupcake I don't know you, but I'm totally behind you and believe you. I was there a year ago.

I am hoping this heals you.

When you have to go to the Gyno - and it's the 4th. And the nurse can't stop talking about your 'rebel scum' t-shirt, your R2D2 earrings and necklace, and then you show her your 'Join the resistance socks'. She then feels the need to pull in another nurse - who is wearing the same socks.

Then your doctor comes in, and she's still as wonderfully funny as you remember. You wonder why you were anxious as hell.

I remember one night, my then super pot smoking ...whatever our relationship was, made a bong out of a watermelon. That was actually pretty enjoyable.

Also when he packed the bong with fresh fallen snow. That was super smooth.

Oh look. Another lunchable. ...at least I ate something?

I entered a silly contest about streaming like 24 hours of true crime stuff. I didn't win the big prize, but it got me a free month of the service, so I'm excited to check it out.

Discussing bi-polar today, due to Kanye. I get it. He's rich, he can have the best of care - But money don't mean shit, if the person doesn't take their meds.

..but I totally want Amazing Grace on the bagpipes played.

As someone who struggles with her diabeetus - I wanted to post the gif.

Pain Pain Pain pain pain. Fuck this shit. Fuck you, Ankylosing spondylitits. Fuck you, body. Just... RAWR

@Ominous Just know that I (and likely a bunch of others) are sitting at home, silently cheering you on and waving invisible pom poms.

I have the absolute best Dog. I am so damn lucky he chose me. Snuggles for hours on a lazy Sunday.

I remember arguing it too. The teacher was a dick, and threatened to send me to the principal. Later that year, he told me to get my 'little ass' in my seat. .. I sort of told him to Fuck off and flipped him the bird as I sailed out of the classroom (defiance disorder in full effect, yo). There had been a fight in the stairwell on my way to class, and I had been knocked into pretty hard, and dropped my books and papers. He'd said I could go get them, and then the bell rang as I was heading to do so. That's when it happened.

So uh, I had to repeat that year's English class. The next year, the teacher thought me arguing how it wasn't a love story was awesome. I got SO MUCH extra credit, that year.

@PuppyBreath I feel you.

I have cried pretty easily the last few days. No shame in it. I am isolated, and 3/5th of what is left of my nuclear family got together without mention or invitation to me. I just wanted to see my 1 yr old nephew playing with the paper and boxes.

I feel this - I wear anything from a woman's 'fitting' t-shirt in XL, to like XXXL - depending on the bust size. Men's? L - 2X. And don't even get me started on dresses and leggings, or my lounge pants.

-sigh- When you keep meaning to call the doctor about trying a different med for ADHD.

...and forget. Again.

So, my boss and I had a 'talk' on Friday, and his boss joined us.
They complained that I 'get a slow start' (hello executive dysfunction), and in the afternoon I 'burn through work in hours'. Boss thinks I'm 'in a panic' when I get all that work done in a few hours.

I told my boss flat out. Mornings are slow with exec. dysfunction, and what he thinks is 'panic' is hyperfocus. Welcome to the world of ADHD, boss.

But you want to give me a Verbal, though I'm getting more than my fair share of work done, because you don't like how I use my time? ... Time to talk to the doctor. ADHD is covered by the ADA, and I'm tired of getting shit for disabilities I have. (I also got talked to about my sugar crashes, and how I need to talk to some dept about 'time' I can take in the morning, etc, to deal with my issues. Now, I've recently had some significant med changes, which effs with my sugars. I've let them know, I've kept them in the loop. But they apparently want to complain.

I love my boss. I know this warning was NOT his idea, he looked SO unhappy and uncomfortable. But I will come full force with all the medical documentation.

@ninjakitten Yep!

The following six clusters of executive functions tend to be impaired in individuals with ADHD:

Activation: organizing tasks and materials, estimating time, getting started
Focus: finding, sustaining, and shifting attention as needed
Effort: regulating alertness, sustaining motivation and processing speed
Emotion: managing frustration and modulating feelings
Memory: using working memory and accessing recall
Action: monitoring and regulating physical activity

@vixanic I appreciate the thought. I really needed to get it OUT somewhere. Somewhere someone might understand the sheer breaking point of needing to literally scream.

Though if you have any energy/vibes/prayers to spare (whatever your personal mojo is) THAT would be super appreciated. I know I /can/ do it, but today is just kicking my ass some.
