Some better, some worse
Dec. 11th, 2018 08:56 pmFinally got back on my meds, after almost 2 weeks off of them (not by choice, but because there's apparently a national shortage). Trying to pick up the adulting pieces.
Work stuff got worse, then somewhat better. We're in a weird holding pattern. I'm so frustrated with being frustrated all the time.
This week will be a week of theater. First go see my friends' son in a play on Thursday, then see opening night of Brian's current show on Friday, then see the annual production of Midsommer that OPS does around midwinter (/winter solstice) every year on Saturday. Before all that, taking dinner tomorrow night to a friend who has been quite ill recently, and trying to get over my anxiety enough to be good company for her for a bit.
Lumi (the cornsnake of the house) shed yesterday, not all in one piece but better than she's ever done since I got her! Continuing to work on getting her the right humidity to make her sheds better, but nice to see things are moving in the right direction on that front.
Persephone (one of the five hermit crabs, and the only one above ground at the moment-- the others are all down molting) keeps piling dirt into the water dishes until they're completely filled and dry, so I set up a "carpet" of coconut fiber mat under them to keep her from doing that. She seems annoyed, insomuch as I can see emotions on a hermit crab-- she's already piling dirt on the edges of the new mat.
Eros (one of the two cats) is out of the cone, having given her feet 2 weeks to heal from where she chewed them into red swollen oblivion. Still no idea why. They look better now, but if they get worse again, next step will be the kitty dermatologist. Trying not to panic about the weird new bump on the top of her head, but will need to tell the vet about it if it's not gone in a few days, just in case it's something. And once she's more "all better," need to schedule that expensive dental stuff for Astrid (the other of the cats)...
But for now, bed.
