long form stressed out thoughts

Because it's never just one bad thing!

So this past Friday I messed up my shoulder in a way that may or may not be related to the new PT exercises I've had lately. It was a couple of minutes of 10/10, comparable to gallstones, brace yourself 'cause you're gonna die kind of pain, and since then it's mostly settled into just the left side of my trapezius muscle which now feels like a hot angry tennis ball embedded in my back.

Here is an image for visual reference:

Anyway.

Drawing anything with greater fidelity than Angry Tennis Man is proving to be challenging at the moment. Great, cool, fun.

BUT IT GETS BETTER!

So we were out picking up my prescriptions today so that I can continue living and surviving and stuff, and a pickup truck with a Very Good Driver at the wheel, with Very Well Functioning Brake Lights stopped hard in front of us, so we had to stop hard behind him. And doing this apparently was too much for something as-yet-unknown in the brake system of my car, which I just fundraised to get registered and back on the road, because it was the less-broken and more fuel-efficient of our two vehicles. We managed not to hit anything, and we made it home only because the e-brake in my car is working, thankfully. But that's not a long-term solution, or even a good idea.

So now we have two dysfunctional vehicles, neither of which are safe to drive.

We live in an extremely rural area (there are cows everywhere!) so there is no public transit here. I have less than $10 in my bank account thanks to the ongoing shenanigans with Temporary Public Assistance just, deciding they aren't going to do what they said and pay our rent. I have been arguing for months to no avail. We are lucky to be in a situation with someone who is very flexible about this landlording, BUT this was only ever meant to be a temporary situation and there's no human way we can get a foothold on anything when Temporary Assistance says we need to spend all our money on rent, including and especially the assistance money.

So I'm kind of in a panic, because I don't think I can reliably take commissions right now. I wouldn't feel right about it because my arm just goes out when it feels like and I am not getting adequate pain relief from my doctors. I feel like I've worn out my goodwill asking for help on the internet because up until now it's been generally relatively small bills coming up, but doing some research this one could range into around $1000 depending on what is wrong. Which we can't afford to find out in the first place because of the whole "$10 in my bank account" thing.

I am contemplating attempting a GoFundMe because I truly do not know what else to do here. I am terrified it'll disqualify us from SNAP and the other things currently keeping us afloat because they're finicky about income sources. I'm not confident I could even attract enough attention on it for it to be helpful.

I am scared? And I am out of ideas? Anyone out there with suggestions or ideas? I also have a t-shirt and sticker shop and digital comics here and here but ha ha that is not gonna cut it. 😬

Maomao no Hitorigoto Episode 19 : Ox Bezoar / 猫猫のひとりごと　第19話　『牛黄(ごおう/Go-o)』

Please note that the English lines are just my translations.

猫猫「うーん…塩の過剰摂取(かじょうせっしゅ)による死…海藻の食中毒…爆発…。どれも仕組まれた出来事だとしたら…やはり、あの官女が？」

Maomao “Uuun… Shiono kajo-sesshuni-yoru shi… Kaisono shoku-chudoku… Bakuhatsu… Doremo shiku-mareta deki-goto-dato-shitara… yahari, ano kanjoga?”

Maomao “Hmm… The death from salt overdose… Seaweed food poisoning… The explosion… If all of them were staged events… As I thought, was that court lady the one?”

壬氏「薬屋。随分(ずいぶん)熱心だな」

Jinshi “Kusuriya. Zuibun nesshin-dana.”

Jinshi “Apothecary. You’re very enthusiastic, aren’t you?”

猫猫「はい！これから書庫で調べ物をして参ります！」

Maomao “Hai! Korekara shokode shirabe-mono’o shite-mairi-masu!”

Maomao “Yes! Now I’m going to the court library to do some research!”

壬氏「あ…そ、そうか。ところで、あの牛黄という品は、そんなに貴重な物なのか？」

Jinshi “A…So, Soka. Tokorode, ano Goo-to-iu shinawa, sonnani kichona mono nanoka?”

Jinshi “I-I see. By the way, is that item called ox bezoar really that valuable?”

猫猫「よくぞ聞いて下さいました！」

Maomao “Yokuzo kiite-kudasai-mashita!”

Maomao “That’s nice of you to ask!”

猫猫「猫猫の豆知識。牛黄は、牛の胆嚢(たんのう)にできた胆石(たんせき)。希少性(きしょうせい)が高いことや、効能(こうのう)あらたかな生薬(しょうやく)として、ひときわ価値のある特別な存在。金と同額で取引されることもある」

Maomao “Maomaono mame-chishiki. Goowa, ushino tannoni dekita tanseki. Kisho-seiga takai-kotoya, kono-aratakana shoyaku-to-shite, hitokiwa kachino aru tokubetsuna sonzai. Kinto dogakude torihiki-sareru-kotomo aru.”

Maomao “Here’s Maomao’s bits of knowledge. Ox bezoar is a gallstone that forms in the gallbladder of a cow. It is a very valuable and special entity as a very rare and highly effective herbal medicine. It’s sometimes traded for the same price as gold.”

猫猫「不老長寿(ふろうちょうじゅ)の薬、命を養う薬とも言われ、高熱や炎症を抑えるのはもちろん、心臓の働きを高めて、健忘予防(けんぼう・よぼう)にも使われるとか。おまけに死人の邪気を払う効果が…」

Maomao “Furo-Chozuno kusuri, inochi’o yashinau kusuri-tomo iware, konetsuya ensho’o osaeru-nowa mochiron, shinzono hataraki’o takamete, kenbo-yobo-nimo tsuka-wareru-toka. Omakeni shinin’no jaki’o harau kokaga…”

Maomao “It’s said to be a medicine for eternal youth and longevity, and a medicine that nourishes life. It not only suppresses high fevers and inflammation, but also enhances heart functions and prevents amnesia. In addition to that, it’s said to ward off evil spirits of the dead…

壬氏「おっ…おお、おおお。も、もう十分だ！」

Jinshi “O…Oo, ooo. Mo, Mo jubunda!”

Jinshi “Oh… Oh, oh. That’s enough!”

猫猫「そうですか」

Maomao “Sodesuka.”

Maomao “Is that so?”

壬氏「お前の牛黄に対する情熱は分かった」

Jinshi “Omaeno gooni taisuru jonetsuwa wakatta.”

Jinshi “I understood your passion for the ox bezoar.”

猫猫「私だけでなく、世界中の薬師にとって、垂涎(すいぜん)の一品(いっぴん)でございます」

Maomao “Watashi-dakede-naku, Sekai-juno kusushini totte, suizen’no ippinde gozai-masu.”

Maomao “This is a coveted item not only for me, but for pharmacists of all over the world.”

猫猫（きっとおやじも喜ぶはずだ…！もし牛黄が手に入ったら…ぐふ～！）

Maomao (Kitto oyajimo yorokobu-hazuda…! Moshi googa teni haittara… Gufuuu!)

Maomao (I’m sure my dad will be happy…! If I can get that ox bezoar…!)

壬氏「…はぁ…」

Jinshi “…Haa…”

Jinshi (sigh)

猫猫「次回、『曼荼羅華』。ついに、この騒動の真犯人が…。お楽しみに」

Maomao “Jikai, ‘Mandarage.’ Tsuini, kono sodono shin-hanninga… Otanoshimini.”

Maomao “Next episode, ‘Thornapple.’ Finally, the real culprit of this commotion will be… See you next time.”

I’m so sorry your tummy hurts. I’ve been having horrifically painful attacks sporadically for a few years that I thought was gallstones. Apparently, gastritis can get so bad it can feel like gallstones. While nice to have an answer, holy cow how did it get this bad lol. I sincerely hope yours is much easier to deal with! For the AMA what would be a fish you think shouldn’t be in the hobby that ISNT a monster giant fish?

My most controversial take is that comet goldfish should not be as common as they are. They're highly invasive and super cheap and too many people dump them into local waterways when they get bored of them
