Sorry Angie. Us old people remember when doctors used to really care about their patients. Now they don't seem to give a damn.
i am fortunate to have a great doctor but not as good as the doctor i had in my youth. my doctor in my youth had his office in his house and made house calls. all the way out to 1980 he made a house call when i couldn't get out of bed. i was suffering extreme exhaustion . i was working 2 jobs and going to school, finally my body said enough lol. he even took care of one of my employers. nowadays except for us old farts most people only see it on tv and don't realize they actualy did make house calls for real

Fed up, angry, annoyed, overloaded and imploded. Second Friday in a row where I've looked forward to being done for the week and something happens in the last 5 minutes of the working day which needs dealing with, but can't be dealt with until next week at least, but just sticks in my mind going round and round and round like a broken record playing. I don't even remember my walk home from the station. More shit to deal with that I don't get paid enough to deal with and have to deal with people paid a lot more than I do. C'est la vie I suppose.

Bit annoyed with myself as after doing well with food I got in, ate 4 chocolate bars then did the shopping and had crisps, was full before I had time to eat any proper food. Now I feel like my body is gunked up with sugar and crap.

I'll get better - I'm just not better yet.

Just, like why. When I first got my laptop it kept losing wifi when unattended for a bit. Sleep mode made it forget it had a wifi card. So I installed powertoys Awake so it never goes to sleep, and ever since it's worked like a dream. Until today. Now it disconnects from Wifi and even thinks it doesn't have a wifi adapter until I reboot. Suppose I'll have to go back to using the network cable which was my backup plan. Or just keep rebooting the damn thing. Because all the online solutions to this tell me to adjust a setting that my laptop doesn't have 🤯 Be glad when today is over with. (edit, or I could go back to the plan of constantly playing a youtube video if I want the wifi to stay on)

Baffled. I've got youtube music so I've just put that on in a browser window playing an infinite playlist on silent, this keeps my laptop awake and stops the Wifi dropping. Will just have to remember to do that. If I forget, at least it only takes about 30 seconds to reboot with it being SSD. Things I have to do just to have a functioning laptop!

Had enough of today. Going to bed and hope I get out of bed on a better side and don't get my accursed Friday night/Saturday morning insomnia.
AAAAck! insomnia hit me last night so I can relate. Is there anything that helps, e.g., melatonin or other sleep supplements? Personally melatonin does f-k all for me, but then again I am in the USA and you never know if what is coming in a given supplement matches what's on the label, so whatever.

Right now I feel anxious and aggressive, like one more goddam thing is going to make me snap. But I’m aware that people don’t change their behavior just because someone snapped at them, so I’m trying to keep my agitation to myself.
I'm feeling so much better now. Almost relaxed, even. Definitely not the aggro character above. I wish I knew how to summon this chill state on demand. It would be like a superpower.

Melatonin didn't do anything for me. Valerian works occasionally. Only thing that works perfectly is benzos, so have got in trouble with those on and off over the years!

It's lifelong for me so I just try to deal with it! Sometimes I'll sleep well for a week then barely at all the next.

I hope you can get some sleep tonight 🤗

so my laptop does something similar. It will every once in a while just go blank with the fan running at full speed. Only way to get out of it is to hard power cycle the thing. It seemed to happen more often when it was going into sleep mode, so I turned the setting to "Never" on my power management options. Still happens, but definitely less often than before... seems to happen predictably if the thing reboots during a windows update. Oh how I love those updates. Don't get me started lol.
