i dont know how to stop it. the thoughts the memories. i thought that maybe when you decided it would all stop. contrary, they wont stop. im stuck thinking about the last 6 months and the times i could of been better and done better. the times where i should of stayed quiet where i should have loved you more. theres no benefit in thinking it though. i know you've made up your mind. and when i called you out i didn't think you would leave. i thought you'd stay like you had before. i thought you would fight more or maybe even just try. but this time you didn't. you left, you moved on. and now i think where i went wrong and if i could just been different. that if maybe i wasn't so messed up you would of stayed. maybe if i was less sad less me you wouldn't leave. but its ok. i know she is kind and she is beautiful. she is loved and taken care of. she can love you. and i know you deserve who takes away all the lies and brings you hope, poetry, and most importantly coffee. if i could talk to her, i would tell her this. his birhtday is january 10. hes actually not a typical capricorn but that might be because his mother is a cancer. hes emotional. he is kind. he is thoughtful. his love language is physical touch and words of affirmation. hes a great gift giver. he has the biggest heart. hes easily influenced. gym is his therapy. he loves his family especially his sister and his mom. hes actually a feminist. hes a clean person. his alcohol tolerance is suprsisngly high. he likes to party and have fun. but more importantly i think he likes to stay in and do nothing. his favorite color is blue but he looks great in orange. his favorite artist is j balvin. and his music taste is impeccable. hes cannot park if his life depended on it but hes a great driver. he has a sweet tooth and probably the reason he has so many cavities. his favorite sweet is donuts, coming in second gummies. his grandpa is his biggest inspiration. and like many people, he's been hurt too many times especially by me. he has the worst anxiety and overthinks too much. his best friend committed suicide and his cousin was close to. he needs reassurance and lots of love. overall, i think he's the only person who has fought for me and for our relationship something i couldn't understand and maybe why i can't let it go. 

i know you deserve more than i could ever give you. you deserve an easy love with someone who doesn't have so many layers to cut through. someone with less complications and more love to give. in fact someone who isn't afraid to be loved. i know my thoughts wont leave because i live with regret, i live with sadness. i know i'll have to live without you and live with the thought that i failed you. and more importantly that given the choice, you wouldn't choose me anymore. that i am no longer the girl you want to be with and the one you want to spend the rest of your life with . i am not the first thought in your mind and i am not the last one either. you have simply moved and found arms to come home to. and i am stuck being the sad story. the girl who cannot love and be loved. and maybe thats what kills me the most. you get to move on and i cannot even find myself talking to another person without crying. i cannot listen to music without breaking down. i cant eat without feeling guilty. that i've lost myself throughtout everything and it took you a week to move on. i'd like to ask you how you did it but i fear that when i hear your voice i would lose my breathe. i have no hope for life. and i find no pleasure in it. i live day by day hoping one day i feel less sad but its been a month and a half and i still can't listen to our song. i know its not your fault but how cannot it not be? when i told you this you didnt seem to care and you chose to move on. im so tired of crying and the sleepless nights. the calling out of work. the torturing myself at the gym. the breaking down every time i go out with my friends. you're the punchline to all my jokes and the topic of conversation when it comes to gossip. you're the theme of all my spotify playlists and the inspiration behind my new hair color. youre my excuse when my parents ask me why i can't be more active in church and the reason i dont text back any guy. the reason i've started smoking again. i dont want to love you anymore. but im sorry i love you.

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 140 - Back to Business

It's Gemma and Jaden's first day of school! Ophelia was up late with little Lulu so Xander lets her sleep and makes the kiddos some gummy bear pancakes. Being in a playful mood will ease those first day jitters!

After Ophelia finds out what they had for breakfast, she sends them straight upstairs to brush their teeth. No cavities for these kids! They've gotta freshen up for school anyway, so they don't argue.

Gemma thought her tooth felt a little wiggly during breakfast, but now it's wiggling even more! Looks like she's got her first loose tooth. She's too afraid to pull it out, though. She's heard rumors of kids' faces glitching and she's not risking it!

Ophelia drags the kids out to get some first day of school photos.

Ophelia: I can't believe my babies are going to their first day of grade school!

Gemma: Moooooom, hurry! We're gonna miss our invisible bus!

After getting a posed shot, they still had time for some EA poses.

And they're off!

Have fun at Landgraab Elementary, you two! Don't get up to mischief just because I can't see you!

Two kids gone, but there's still two more that need attention. Ophelia gets Wren's needs sorted, and even squeezes in tummy time before Wren's nap. Lulu is also due for a bath. Don't worry, Xander's pulling his weight. He's been doing chores, but those aren't cute in screenshots.

While Lulu's napping, Ophelia comes to Xander with a proposition.

Ophelia: We've finally got a minute to ourselves. Why don't we get in the shower and… shave your back.

Xander: I've missed our "back-shaving" sessions… You shave my back, I'll shave yours.

Ophelia: Hey!

Oh, Xander actually really does need to shave his back. Too bad not much shaving is actually happening in there.

After their shower quickie, Ophelia the phone fanatic checks her Simstagram. Hmm. Engagement is down on her last couple of posts… Well, she has been busy with the kids, she hasn't promoted her music or performed nearly as much… But is her spotlight fading for good?

The kids are back home!

Jaden's class starts the year off with a standardized test, but he accidentally skipped a bubble near the top. Jaden wants to do his best and confesses the mistake to his teacher. Luckily, she let him transfer his answers to a new sheet. Cool teacher!

Jaden's mom hangs his art class drawing amongst these masterpieces by Vince and Valentin Sistem. He's heard lots about the Sistems, his parents keep in touch with them, but traveling to other saves is hard.

His bio parents know just how hard it is to leave them permanently…

Gemma's not the most athletic Sim, so running laps in gym class was torture. She saw a gap under the bleachers where she could have taken a breather, but her perfectionist trait pushed her to keep going. She finished all her laps and did so in record time! Coach was impressed!

Her wobbly tooth still feels so weird and gross, though! She can't wait for this thing to come out!

Gemma had sat down to do her homework and got distracted by her tooth wiggling. Before she can actually pull her schoolbooks out, her mom is calling her down to set the table.

While Xander is playing with Wren, Lulu is busy visiting her old friend Uni.

Xander: Lulu, can you play with Wren? I need to help Mommy with dinner.

Well, only because Daddy asked. Lulu does her best to entertain Wren. She even unlocks a milestone! She wants to play too!

During dinner, the kids tell their parents all about their first day. Ophelia is so proud of them and how well they're growing up. However, now that she has less little ones on her hands, she can't help but yearn to get back to her music

Ophelia loves being a mother, but she knows there's so much more she wants to do with her career.

She contemplates ways to get herself back out there, so deep in thought that she doesn't realize she's long overdue for a pumping session.

She's snapped out of her train of thought when Gemma calls for her.

Gemma: Mom, look!

She shows off the gap where her wiggly tooth was.

Gemma: My tooth fell out!

Ophelia: Aww, your first loose tooth! Don't forget to slip that under your pillow before bed. The tooth fairy will give you some money!

As excited as that makes her, Gemma can't help but notice the stains.

Gemma: What's on your shirt?

Ophelia: Uh, nothing. Need homework help?

After finishing her homework, Gemma makes time for her little sister. Mom told her Lulu was a little sad Gemma moved out of their room, even though they didn't share it for long. She honestly really didn't want to share a room with a toddler, but she still loves Lulu to bits.

It's almost Lulu's bedtime.

Lulu: Aww, wanna play kitchen!

Gemma: We can play kitchen tomorrow before school, but you gotta go to sleep now or you'll be too grouchy to play!

Lulu doesn't want that! She gives Gemma a big hug, and Gemma kisses her on the forehead.

Gemma's a big kid now, so she gets to stay up later, but honestly, she's so excited to get a special gift from the tooth fairy, she might turn in early!

After she finishes an evening workout, and leaks through another shirt, Ophelia finally hears back from her agent.

Ophelia: Hey, got any leads for me?

They do! Someone special asked for her by name! A someone we haven't seen since the Starlight Accolades…

It's probably nothing, until it isn't

My cat just had a lobotomy.

Okay, they prefer to call it a lobectomy. And not a cranial one - this was to the lungs. But I'll get to that.

So, last Friday, I noticed that my boy Shiro was making a kind of odd noise, that he seemed to be wheezing a little bit, and when I touched him he made a moaning noise. This was all very minor, it would have been easy to say "It's probably nothing", and I almost did that.

But, knowing that cats are very good at masking distress, I decided to take him to the emergency vet. There, they determined he had a pleural effusion - fluid in the cavity around the lungs. (As an aside, an awful lot of medical conditions are just "description of the symptom in bad Latin or medical jargon" which means once you understand that you end up going "Yes, I came in with knee pain, and you have diagnosed me with knee pain, but that doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know.")

Anyway, so they drained the lung cavity and concluded it was most likely congestive heart failure. They gave me some meds for that and told me to make an appointment with a veterinary cardiologist. Which I did, for this coming Monday (got really lucky). I took Shiro home, he seemed a little better for a while but just kinda sat around. He also didn't eat or drink, which was worrisome.

On Sunday, I decided to call the vet again. The place I went to on Friday (associated with our regular vet) said they were slammed with pets needing Oxygen and told me to take him to another emergency vet which was actually closer. They looked at him, concluded he had more fluid, which should not have built up so quickly, and proceeded to do more testing. They found it almost certainly wasn't CHF, nor cancer, which would have been the two most likely causes.

In fact, the problem turned out to be lung torsion. One of the lobes in his lungs got twisted - something which can happen spontaneously, but is quite rare. Further, the CT scan showed that the twisted lobe was pressing against another lobe (cats have 14 in total, 7 lobes per lung) and along with the fluid buildup was making it hard to breath.

Yesterday evening they performed surgery to remove the affected lobes. He has been recovering, but is still at the veterinary hospital. It seems he's still not eating, and I authorized a feeding tube. They're still projecting a recovery, but I remain quite worried about my boy.

There are two things I've taken from this.

One is financial. I don't want to go into numbers, but the amount was a LOT. If we did not have insurance specifically for this kind of thing, it would have been a very hard decision. As it was, the big issue was the vet wanted the payment up front, which is reasonable when you're talking a few hundred for a tooth extraction, but as I told them, the last time I moved that kind of money it was a direct wire transfer and it took a week to set up. It's worrisome that we've reached the point where "amount you need to keep your cat alive" is running up against "Whoa whoa whoa that's a lot of money to be flashing around, what are you a drug dealer?" My spouse spent over an hour on the phone with Bank of America trying to get them to authorize a check, which they would not do even though they acknowledged both that they were speaking to the account holder, and there was more than enough money in the account. Spouse is going to be changing banks, because what is the point of having money you can't use in an emergency? Trupanion really came through, though, pre-authorizing a large cost on a Sunday, and getting my upfront down to where I could easily put it on a credit card. Again we're not in any financial trouble for this, it's just it was a very considerable amount of money.

Second, the thing which haunts me is how very close I was to Doing Nothing. Because none of the signs were that obvious. Until the moment the emergency vet showed me the ultrasound, I was still feeling I was just wasting my time and theirs. And even over the weekend, it seemed Shiro was just off because of having been to the vet, and we'd go to the cardiologist on Monday to make a treatment plan, and it'd all be... well, not great, but predictable. I could very easily have woken up Monday to a dead cat and never known why.

I have to confront the reality, too, that I'm just not ready to lose Shiro. I know he's 14 years old, he will be dying in the next few years. He's been with me through four relationships, seven homes, and four jobs. I'm glad that This Time it's something we can treat. Eventually it won't be, and I'm going to have to face that.

[weabooweedwitch]

I say this as someone who's followed you for years and with as much kindness as possible:

Get the fuck away from your mother. Ditch her fuckin ass. She's repeatedly making things worse and refuses to learn. You need to get away from her, for your own good.

I know I might be repeating what other people have said, or even what you have thought of doing, but holy shit this bitch is actively ruining your life through sheer stupidity.

I hope things get better

I feel bad that people have to keep giving me this kind of advice because I realize it's the most obvious answer, and there are multiple reasons separating from my mother would be good for us both. I feel bad that i keep sharing all these worrying stories and worrying people and then at the end of the day, I'm way too scared to actually try and fix things. I just worry so much about not being able to take care of myself, not being able to drive, what if I go somewhere and it's harder if not impossible for me to get to work, just. I worry about everything. Honestly the thing that worries me the most is keeping my job or not being able to transfer if I went somewhere else. My wage is currently $19 an hour, my 58 yo mom was making $22, so like, I'm helping hold it all together with rent BECAUSE of that income. I'm so scared of losing that.

I've had people ask if there's any family I can go to and the only possible option would be maybe my father who is in another state, I cannot remember if it is in Illinois or Missouri (ugh, they may have passed recreational weed but thats the only good thing thats came outta thar state in like the last 2 decades). And I don't know if that would be good either. But it's an option I'm beginning to consider. But I am sort of still in the reconnecting process with my dad and we've butted heads a few times and he also has his own physical and emotional issues. Actually I think he is where I inherited a lot of mental illness from because he also has an anxiety disorder and we are almost positive he has equinus like me. He also has developed type 2 diabetes and I am really bad with sugar impulse control, what if I hurt my dad because I can't stop bringing sweets into the house and he eats them too 🥺

It just. Personally makes me hate myself to even think of "hiya pops, we've barely spoken in the last 10 years, I've been really ahitty about talking to you consistently since we've said hi again and lost my temper with you a few times, hey I know you're on a fixed income and out of a job right now (or was, maybe he has one now, we've spoken so little idk) but is it OK if I come live in your house as a whiny codependent barely functioning weed addict of an adult?" 😅

But yeah I just. This is really. It just never ends. I keep fighting myself and beating myself up on "who's right, am I right, am I wrong, am I overreacting, whats going on, what do I do, someone tell me what to do because I'm too stupid to do things right" and it's just. I also still love my mother even if that love is being increasingly mixed with resentment. I worry about her ability to take care of herself because her health is getting worse and, like, I worry about her mentally a lot. Like this tooth infection she has, is because she doesn't have the best dental hygiene, and had fillings and such, and even after needing fillings still takes shit care of her teeth, and was putting off getting like broken teeth and such taken care of, and, they're now having to pull SEVEN of her back teeth. She'll need dentures to eat certain foods now. And I'm not better, I basically stopped brushing my teeth for many years because I literally expected to be dead before they rotted out of my mouth and now I'm scrambling to adopt that routine again, and also like.

Sorry but my mom and a dentist literally lied to me when i was a little girl and said i had several cavities because they thought i would be scared into brushing my teeth and all that did was convince me everything was pointless and needed to give up since it was already damaged, and she refuses to apologize or even acknowledge how that literally helped me develop a complex and felt helpless when SHE LIED TO ME, A CHILD, HER CHILD (and also i think my difficulty keeping routines is a combination just needing to apply myself and having adhd issue because like, I've been pretty good with my skincare at least)

I just. I love her but I hate her. If I'm not careful to keep myself calm I'm going to escalate to the physical level. And to be honest I've had the opinion for many years that, all those times my mom told extremely age inappropriate stories to little tiny baby Miranda about her experiences with assault and domestic violence, even as a kid I would think, "well you like don't listen, you shut people down, you insist youre always right, I want to hit you all the time too, maybe it wasn't them but maybe you got yourself hit by constantly pushing everyone around you to their breaking point" like clearly that's not a healthy thought to have and I. I am kind of convinced at this point that almost every single bad thing that had ever happened to this woman was her own fault in some way shape or form. But you could also say that about me

What's scary is that I can't even think of going anywhere without having savings first and I'm constantly being pushed to my limits to the point I don't HAVE any savings, it's all getting sucked up. I dunno how else I can get out of this pit and I'm just, mentally worn down from any entire life of this. I feel useless and exploited at home and then I go to work and feel useless and exploited at work and by society. Like. Life feels so bleak. My Canadian friend is getting in worse health. I still have a lot of affection for him but he's also uh done and said a few things I really disagree with on personal levels and it, gives me some pause, like. I genuinely am so sad all the time. I need to go back to the psychiatrist to get some medicines again but, I am working and making enough money that after my state insurance expires in October, I'll have to go through my work, and that doesn't 100% cover everything so, j wouldn't be able to afford anything at that point

Just. Ugh. I try to write down my thoughts and listen to music and try to write on my other blog to cheer myself up but I just. What can you do right. What am I good for. What is anyone good for. What is this world itself good for. Our entire species is gonna go extinct with climate change anyways. Why should I keep struggling and suffering like this when it's. Idk. Arguably all for nothing. We'll all be nothing more than just dogs following commands and paying bills until we die

[pierrotprincess]

hya hey! i jus recently got into the security break fnaf and it’s taken me over oops. so i was wondering if you’d be open to writing about the main 4 with a sweet tooth/lover of candy? thanks (ﾉ´ з `)ノ

(love your work btw)

HELP IM ALSO DROWNING IN FNAF

ANYWAYS, yeah, I really like this idea! (and also thank you so much omggggg (≧◡≦)) this also kinda ended up being about how well each member would be able to cook, what they would make for you, and their own preferences and stuff like that! hope you don't mind :}

I'm going to preface the hcs with; I headcanon that even if the animatronics don't need to eat food, they can still taste it and eat it so that at parties with kids it feels like they're more real! They have their own preferences with food!

Glamrock Freddy 🍯

Literally always has candy on him just for you, he's literally like a grandma (yes he has Werther's Originals and yes he has the little strawberry candies).

He used to fill his chest cavity with it, but it ended up melting and he ended up needing to be repaired.

Even though he indulges you and your sweet tooth, he does sometimes feel guilty about it since he knows it's bad for your health

He tries to make sure you've eaten something nutritious before giving you anything, but you're able to get by him very easily because of how trusting he is.

To add onto the headcanon I made about him leaving notes for you; he would also leave little candies along with the notes!

Though he's the second best in the band at cooking (first place belongs to Chica obviously), he absolutely cannot bake.

That doesn't mean he won't try though! He asks Chica to teach him her ways, and he's managed to perfect a chocolate chip cookie recipe!

He loves honey and puts it on everything.

Yes it's because he's a bear, no I will not elaborate.

Montgomery Gator 🌶

He pretends that he only likes spicy foods and will go so far as to just down hot peppers front of people. He also "doesn't like sweet things"

One night you waltzed into his green room and you caught him with marshmallows stuck on his claws like olives

Needless to say, you accept your mutual love of sweets, but that doesn't mean you'll ever let him live this one down.

0/10 cook/baker don't let him near the kitchen. Don't even let him order takeout. Literally if you asked him to cut anything, he'd stab at the food until it's turned into mush.

He's jealous that everyone else in the band but him has the ability to feed you, and he genuinely believes that the secret ingredient to good food is love.

He will literally steal sweets from small children to bring to you (he got caught by sun stealing from the daycare and was never the same again after that).

His favorite candy is warheads because he's a menace. 😁

DEFINITELY offers to beat piñatas with you as a romantic gesture.

Glamrock Chica 🧁

She feeds you EVERYTHING she bakes. She says she wants to perfect her recipes but you both know it's because she loves seeing you happy

She lets you lick the batter off of the spatula. :}}

Calls you a lot of baked good and just generally sweet related nicknames (sugar, muffin, sweet pea, CUPCAKE!!)

I also headcanon she has a southern accent, so those nicknames are exactly what you'd expect out of her.

We all obviously know she likes cupcakes, but I think her favorite baked goods are cake pops! She really likes to make them, and she also likes to make ice pops as well!

Without a doubt she'll hand feed you, and the others will tell you guys to get a room.

She'll save you the leftover cake from kids' birthday parties.

Roxanne Wolf 🥞

She can't cook very well, and she knows it, but she'll still insist on making you one thing. Pancakes! It's the only thing she knows how to make so be prepared for a lot of them.

She puts chocolate chips in your pancakes!

She doesn't really understand why you like sweet things so much, but she secretly thinks it's really cute

She thought you were going to get syrup or something on her when she first met you, and she called you a sticky IPad kid.

That was literally what she called you until you told her your name.

She would blame you if one of the keys on her keytar got jammed.💀

Though she works with kids, she hasn't tried much candy at all since she's so distracted with herself the majority of the time.

you bring in something new to share with her everyday!

She has a picture of you in her room of you eating straight whipped cream and sprinkles or something like that, and it's her favorite thing ever.

[lunarkittens]

i kept thinking i should ignore the tingling and when my mouth hurts it's really dull and goes away and it's so easy to ignore but i'm also scared of it getting worse so i ended up just going for the appt. i can't afford a root canal and if my teeth need to get pulled out i can't afford things like implants or bridges. I cant stop looking at pics of really messed up teeth and comparing them to mine to see if anything looks similar tbh i'm a mess about this appt.

pt 2// i brush my teeth pretty regularly and i floss but i’ve forgotten a bunch of times at night when i’d fall asleep studying :( and thank you so much for all your advice!! everything you wrote really helped me! 

that is such a familiar situation to me!! the tooth i had to get pulled had a horrible cavity in it that i used dentemp on and that helped for a year but then it would ache in like…spells?? but when it hurt it hurt really bad but it would go away but tooth pain NEVER get better on it’s own. 

um do you have insurance or anything? my dentist has payment plans i think we’re still paying off the root canal (im on my moms insurance) for like 200 a month? that’s definitely still expensive but it’s better than like the whole 1.2k at once and as for an implant..those are def rly expensive hm well it depends on which tooth gets pulled! 

my molar was taken out and i never got an implant but it’s not super visible. now sometimes when a tooth gets pulled it causes the teeth to move because there’s suddenly more space available and also i think as the wound closes it causes that. maybe you’ll get lucky and your teeth will shift conveniently. 

trust me though it WOULD get worse if u didnt schedule the appt and also most if not all dental offices arent open on the weekends and you do not want a dental emergency on the weekend lmao i’ve been there…even if your teeth are really bad the dentist will know what to do!! it’ll really all be okay and work out

yeah that’s the worst!! everyone forgets or falls asleep first once in a while :(( that can suck tho bc during the day you probably drink things and eat things that kind of move stuff along in ur mouth n not to be gross but at night stuff kind of sits on ur teeth and that can be bad :// that will happen anyway which is why we brush in the morning!! but it’s best to get rid of as much as you can. i’m glad i could help you a bit! i’ll keep you in my thoughts you can do it!! it’ll be okay

[light-bender]

It's been well over 5 years since I've been to the dentist.

Im almost 24. One of my front teeth has had a serious chip for about a year now. I haven't been able to afford an appointment since I lived with my parents, before I was kicked out at 17.

Even then, they wouldn't pay for basic health care stuff. I had one of my teeth crack in half when I was 17-18 and when I called my old dentist they told me that the same tooth was on file as having a cavity for a long time, and they'd called my parents multiples times a year to try and schedule an appointment to deal with it. My parents never told me, I found out I had that cavity for the first time years later when my tooth cracked.

Long story short, now that they're divorced and she's healthy again my mother and I are talking. She wanted to do something for my birthday, and all I wanted to ask was that she pay for a dentist appointment, if not split one, etc.

But I haven't been able to find a job. And I didn't have enough for rent this month. So my landlord served me an Eviction Notice. 14 days to pay or she will evict me. So I had to ask my mother, who I just started speaking to last year, for the difference, which was mortifying.

Additionally, I couldn't ask for a dentist appointment. My teeth hurt. I'm scared my front tooth will crack because of the chip. I don't have a PayPal and I don't feel like I deserve people's money I just want to get my fucking teeth taken care of. I feel gross and it's really making my depression worse to feel like this but I just can't afford it and I don't know what to do.

[tlatotem]

Some stuff happened

I did the lab work

I went to the dentist for my semiannual cleaning and I have to go back next week for a filling ( I am scheduled for a filling that my insurance, I'm told, will be paying for, but if we're being completely honest and the dentist did go to a school for this but it is my mouth and I don't need the filling, he took an xray because it had been two years since my last one and he swears there's a spot on my tooth getting darker and did some fancy thing with his computer but I genuinely saw no change in the area of the xrays but he has to make money somehow I guess ) I'm not thrilled with this procedure, though. When I was a child the family dentist --WHO WE WOULD LATER FIND OUT WAS A TERRIBLE PERSON FOR MANY REASONS-- performed a root canal on one of my baby teeth. It fell out a week later. That soured my experience with dentists so, yeah, I skipped out on them for nine years. But when Hurricane Matthew went through and tore up the bakery and things were rough, we all decided to take better care of ourselves so as a family we went back AND I HAD NO CAVITIES, JUST A SINGLE SPOT ON MY TOOTH THAT THE DENTIST TOOK AN XRAY OF BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN NINE YEARS. SAME SPOT FROM NINE YEARS AGO. NOTHING CHANGED. Like, yeah, I hate dentists. So I have taken excellent fucking care of my teeth, thanks so damned much. Maybe I am a little sensitive about this, but what can I do about it? We go as a family. And supposedly it's paid for. Getting stuck with a couple needles? DROP IN THE OCEAN. And hey, maybe there is something and I should maybe trust this dentist. My hands are sort of tied. I don't know. Bah.

I got the cookies prepped and the icings done. I expect this to be a slower week since it is following Halloween.

Can't get my prescription. Doctor's appointment next week. The doctor probably wants to put in a prescription for something else. I'm on literally the lowest dosage he could prescribe. Like my dad was on this stuff but for several times the dosage.

I got the eggs and sugar, forgot the flour. I may tack on a bag of flour from our ingredients salesperson and buy it from the bakery, that would be cheaper.

Anyway, there's some really bad stuff happening right now. I should actually be venting about that. Bah.
