Apparently my brother has a low-grade (as in, not even to 100 degrees Fahrenheit) fever and there's a chance that if that doesn't clear up, they might not let me in the building on Thursday since I live in the same house as him :( I really hope it's just a random thing his body decided to do (my body does that sometimes for no apparent reason) or at least not IT, both for his sake and mine.


My brother is feeling much better today and has no fever :cheers: That means I can quit worrying about both him and me.

I don't see how those ads where they show pictures of sad-looking animals in cages and play sad music actually leads to more adoptions (though apparently it does, or they wouldn't still be running them). It seems to me like it wouldn't really affect people who don't care and all it does is make the people who do care (but may already have as many animals as they can take care of) cry. My mom and I always have to mute the TV and look away during those ads or we'll be bawling.

I really want to get an MPH.
But I just applied to take a phlebotomy class so I could be a more desirable candidate in my field in case I needed to ever apply for other jobs if I don't ever get into medical school (if I ever apply... I'm taking my sweet time, huh).
I am also considering taking a sketching class over the summer for fun, alongside microbiology or physics. And I need to actually pick a month to take the MCAT, I can't keep putting it off.

I just can't decide what to do with myself ever.

I feel the same way too. It depends on my mood as to whether I find it depressing or motivating.

Yeah, I can't last even 2 hours in a school or class environment to this day, without getting a meltdown, having to rush off somewhere or after the class.

It's gotten worse, instead of better, over the years.
My brain cannot. do. it.
However, at least I can talk now before the selective mutism took over and my biggest fear was having to speak or ask a question/being asked something.

Funnily enough, even though people think having kids is tough--
the whole thing from babyhood with feeding/naps/pumping/round the clock, although stressful, is way preferable to me than even 1 day in a school environment. At least you have a chance of getting through it intact, mentally/emotionally.

I've finished my iron infusion and am now waiting the 30 minutes they keep you afterward to be sure your body isn't reacting negatively in any way to the infusion, still feeling about the same as I did when I came in. On the one hand, I was hoping it would start to help pretty quickly, but on the other, at least my body seems to be accepting the iron. My mom said she saw online that it takes about a week to start feeling better, I'd seen varying reports ranging from one week to feel the effects to feeling better right away, which is why I got my hopes up. The actual procedure only took two hours instead of four, the rest was checking in, answering some questions, preparing for it, and this thirty-minute waiting period. So it might not take quite as long next time since they have all my information and I won't have to answer all the questions again (probably just the COVID-19 related ones to make sure I didn't pick it up in between sessions, I'm guessing). So I'm not feeling better yet, but everything seems to have gone smoothly. I was pretty tired so I just listened to some Tool and closed my eyes (and every time I was about to fall asleep, someone in there would slam a drawer or a cart would noisily roll by or something :roll: ), I wasn't really bored. Entertaining myself for two hours is much easier than for four hours.

Yeah, I probably couldn't handle a class in a classrom these days either (but might be able to do online courses). I barely made it through college, I think I managed a C average, if I remember correctly. It's gotten worse over the years for me, too. I still have the selective mutism, though, that hasn't improved any for me.

I can see how caring for a baby would be easier, you can get a good routine going, although it will be broken sometimes. Unfortunately there's a long list of reasons I would make a very poor mother, so even if I end up getting married at some point, I would probably not have kids.

End of the road

"On the road"

Slingshot

"Slide along side"

Throw in the towel

White flag

Retrograde amnesia

Group home

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Too many emotion

Sensory overload

Idiots talk too much and too loud and there are too many of them

Love

Failure

Anticlimax

Incite a riot

"Much Ado about nothing"

Running out of $$, but the whole stupidass neighborhood is too

Quarantine, recession

All I want is my old "life" back. s**t I am not asking for $$, fame, beauty, IQ, friends. What is so unreasonable about that?

Some articles claim that someone got a ticket for breaking quarantine. But plenty of others loitering outside and they don't get tickets

On the other hand, everything except essential businesses are closed for coronovirus. And the ones that are open, often bathroom closed. If the bathroom is open, they have to sanitize more because Coronovirus.

Library closed until further notice

Counseling closed until further notice

Health center closed until further notice

Bus on Sunday schedule

Bus often drives by and says "drop off only"

Full to capacity

Idiot "friends" won't answer the email. Want to dump those morons. They can't be bothered to say "excuse me" instead of " :skull: huh" and "what"

Took two naps today

Cold f**k

Worthless corpse went limp

The world is ending like y2k

Nobody gives a rats ass about me

Just smoke and mirrors

s**t nobody will ever hire my worthless corpse again and when they do they fire me

37 nothing accomplished s**t and it is only getting worse

I am competitive too. But I'm also always exhausted, and I don't know how to give myself a break. I'm my worst critic, and I'm harsh with myself. There's a downside. I wish I could slow down sometimes, but I have a hard time doing that, even if it's at my own expense.

I'm so glad you had the infusion! How are you today?

I'm feeling all right today. I'm not back to one hundred percent yet, but it does seem like the infusion is helping already. As of yet, I also haven't had any negative side effects from it.

Headaches, cold, and not soloing the house for myself.
Oh, and my mom took another dog with her. Without any actual consideration other than to simply take it in.

This is gonna be a long day.


I don't see her taking the animal in as compassionate. It (don't know and don't care it's gender) is better off elsewhere, strayed, or maybe dead.
Why??? Cause it's not simply just going to make more mess and nuisance. It is also because it'll just end up relentless, tied and caged like the rest.

None were trained nor are very smart (due to neglect) and mostly too 'playful' (deprived).
Mom just want a lapdog to brag her friends with; she's no responsible owner especially with her current job.
Even with her day offs, I don't see her doing a good job. Then she wondered after, what, about 4-5 dogs before them, with all of them taken as puppies, just died within less than 2 years living 'with' her.

I won't do it myself, even my sister won't do it. Heck I don't even touch them -- I may hurt them or worse if it pushed me hard enough for wanting too much attention.

It's not like I dislike animals or dogs. I simply don't preferred to be bothered by one or more, most especially at my own place of rest.
If anything, keeping them in with neglectful owners sickens me more, they're better off elsewhere.
