I'm feeling decrepit. I did one of my marathon bedtime avoidance routines last night. I was up for 20 hours before I finally got into bed to avoid risking injury by walking around. I was acting compulsively, as in keeping busy to avoid my anxiety. I know better than to do this; anxiety feeds on avoidance. I was really just spinning my wheels on a bunch of things that Covey a la 7 habits of highly effective people - would describe as "urgent but not important." I was able to delude myself into thinking these were productive by making my motions so interwoven and byzantine that I could argue I wasn't going in circles. While technically true, I was instead going around in a Monkey's fist shaped knot of busy-ness without productivity.

Had a bit of a wasted day, waiting in for TV to be delivered. Missed running group. Still got my steps in, after wrestling with the TV packaging and assembling the stand with my minimal practical skills 😂 Had some teething troubles but my 24 hours without a television is over. Now I hope to watch my favourite shows all weekend and get some downtime in.

Just went upstairs and on the landing ceiling saw a bug. I looked it up on Google and it's a cream spotted ladybird, never knew it was a thing. Really pleased I saw it.

Old and ready to leave this world. So much is broken on my body. Will have some more tests ahead. I don't need to know that more is broken. I need to have stuff fixed. But I have abused my body so badly for 73 years I am not sure there is much that can be fixed.
Whoever wrote the script for the movie "Logan's Run" (the original one) had it right. Eliminate everyone when they hit 30. Would save so much pain. I really don't know how these people in their 90's handle it.

Absolutely overwhelmed. Too many medical appointments and tests in too short a time.

Here for you. What testing is your doc recommending?

@MAC0 I hope you start feeling better soon.
insulin is used to lower blood sugar levels. At your next dr appointment, I would ask if you need to check you blood sugar levels that many times. Seems excessive. But drs may have a reason to continue at the current frequency.

@SillyOldBear - it gets tiresome getting tests. I hope you can get some relief soon.

@Lane i enjoy those ceremonies. Looks like a fun outing!

@LumberJack be kind to you. Try to focus on your needs. What helps you avoid the spiral you endured? you’ve had a lot of stress. I hope you can get your anxiety in better control.

@Inastorm - that’s cool. I’ll have to look the bug up. Never heard of it.

@AvidFan enjoy your new tv!

it becomes a whirlwind of tests & appointments. I help my brother with his. it’s a full time job being ill.

Point well-taken. Nowadays the Medical field is more concerned with extending the life-span but not its quality. In other words, quantity rather than quality. Given the choice between quantity and quality, I wonder what is the ratio between the two.

It is a full time job! It is exhausting. I am so very tired of it.

Here for you. What testing is your doc recommending?

An MRI, blood test and a possible sleep study. I can't get to the doctor I need to see until January. He is all booked up. I can't pee again. May need one of catheters you attach a bag to and carry around as if it was a good friend. Am going to try self-*cathing first. Don't know why this keeps happening.

Let me know how the warranty thing works out, @1964dodge . Lol

@Lane sorry about the bite. sucks to help someone out only to get bit by their dog. I used to daydream about my grandmas dog with no teeth.. It made me a little less scared.. 🤪

@seabird it’s a painful anniversary. So many emotions. Be kind to you.

I started following a local police officer that was shot. A local program did a “hometown hero” type thing this morning. I shot a picture of the tv and sent it to him. He didn’t know he was featured. I didn’t realize it, but it was the anniversary of his being shot in the line of duty.
More about bad anniversaries later.

I read all the feeling. I hear you, even though I can’t respond to everyone right now.

several weeks ago I fell and injured my shoulder. I have iced & taped it in an attempt to heal it. No progress. Went in for evaluation. Need MRI for likely rotator cuff tear. NOT enough ice and tape was used!

Stay upright folks, falling sucks.

I hope they will be able to help you with the rotator cuff, my uncle had issues with his. It is a tough one with all the medical issues so many of us here, and elsewhere, have...

Holy moly - I get that. I friggin hate medical provider offices. It's exhausting for someone who is healthy and they make people who are in possibly the most difficult experience of their lives go through all this hoop jumping with endless paperwork and complicated insurance landscape, and the treatment is only covered if it's billed as code 107-5-48A999, but you get declined if it gets billed as 107-5-48A998.

Wishes for all the best on the depression lessening and going away from you.

I am so sorry Barb
The wait for a specialist is not acceptable, but they make us do it anyway.

Goggled this and it's very pretty. I like to think that they're good luck. Hope youre doing as well as possible today Inastorm

Have to do some cooking this weekend and it's silly but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. My son asked me to make potatoe leek soup and my team lead gave me a big slice of pumpkin to make pumpkin soup. Then I'm making a charcuterie board to take to my friends house today. Also, missing my daughter, she'll be away another 2 weeks. We aren't really apart ever and even shared the same bed until she was nine, then shared a bedroom for another 4 years.
