I got my credit card paid off and now I have to pay $700 for insulin tomorrow. Love it here.

All I have to say about the student loan discourse is this: my senior year of high school we were scheduled to have an entire lesson on student loans, but it was canceled because there was an active shooter on campus. How American.

You probably couldn’t tell by looking at me, but I’m in immense pain right now.

I started Trulicity about a month ago for horrible insulin resistance. Instant results. Insulin needs down almost 50%. Over the month though, it’s been creeping back up and I’m back to the doses I was on before the Trulicity. What the actual fuck?

It blows my mind that someone can make big money grifting on diabetics and not be hated by the entire world.

I’m at a museum and noticing some things. Kids have no respect for being quiet in museums. It’s not a kid-interactive museum. It’s exhibits and fossils and stones. Adults will proudly walk up to something labeled “object A” and call it “object X” with absolutely not a care for being so, so wrong.

When I was about 20 I had to have foot surgery because I had too much bone in the top of my foot. They shaved it down. My other foot is starting to hurt in the same way and I am BEGGING it to just not do that. Plus I don’t like going to the podiatrist.

I know I could benefit from therapy right now. I’m struggling and could use that support. But I’m poor and I’ve been out of the house for 13 hours per day for work recently. I don’t have time OR money for this.

It will never stop annoying me that I have to take insulin just because I woke up.

I accomplished nothing this weekend. I slept for 12 hours, two days in a row and I still have a massive headache, probably from not drinking enough since I was asleep all weekend!

Some of my recent linguistic trends: Answering any “how did you know/do…” question with “I’m just really smart.” Referring to 2+ coworkers as chat. Stating “this will be in my manifesto” when someone pisses me off. Saying “this is why I drink” at work, even though I barely drink.

Why so itchy?? I need to stop myself from scratching all of my skin off. I can’t sleep bc I’m itching. The conclusion was stress hives, because I’m so stressed right now. I haven’t used/eaten anything new, because I don’t deviate from my usuals. I’m on loratidine 2x daily and singular every day.

I told my coworker how I’ve had a bunch of people tell me I have a “masculine” energy. Her response? “No, you have a get-shit-done vibe. A lot of people can confuse that for masculine, but it’s not. It can be intimidating sometimes.”

Apparently breaking out in hives can be caused by stress. Stressed? Me? No. I love working 60 hour weeks!

Oh, cool. Midnight round of mystery hives.

My anxiety is out of control right now. I’ve been able to deal with it until the last few weeks. I’m back to waking up overnight in a full out panic. My anxiety also manifests as OCD tendencies. My brain is pretty awful right now. Keeps telling me to DIY die and that is simply annoying.

I have been craving (and eating) oranges for like 2 weeks. I hope I’m not coming down with scurvy.

We’re doing a massive data migration to use new software at our pharmacy. This means we need to check everything bc it wasn’t a 1:1 thing. We started at 9pm and they were calling it a night before 1 am! I’m definitely a night owl. They aren’t. Get there at 6am? No way. Stay up until 6am? Sure!

My hysterectomy is canceled. They discovered (12 days ahead of the procedure) that the hospital is not in network. It’s cool. Not like I’m in pain every day of my life and have to find a new doctor to start all over again. Totally fine.

I don’t understand. I can bill/fill Libre 3 at the pharmacy I work in. $75 copay. But that $75 isn’t going toward my OOP max because it’s not a preferred location. Send the rx to CVS (preferred) and now it’s not covered at all?

I have no idea how to keep functioning. I’m so tired. I’m on my 3rd 11 hr work day. I’m supposed to have 8hr days! It’s only Thursday. How can I make it through tomorrow? 😩 And then a random overnight shift this weekend. I’m just cranky bc I’m tired.

I’ve only been cold like this when I was anemic. Then I got iron infusions and life has been so much better. I started feeling the cold about a week ago, but now it’s super intense and won’t let up. Idk if I should be concerned by how fast it’s gone downhill. I’m also dizzier.

Not gonna lie, every time I use vanilla scented lotion I feel like I’m slathering my body in vanilla pudding.
