  • My partner had to fly out of state this morning, and we're not used to being apart. In the eight years that we've been together, we've only been apart for a week (maybe) once. I miss her so much already. I can't wait for next week.

    Further, we have four cats, two of which require medicine twice a day, and a bird which (for other reasons I've mentioned in a past weekly thread) also needs medicine multiple times a day. Usually we split the load of socializing with the animals and giving them their drugs, but with her gone for the week, it's all on me. I also have a 9-5 (thank God I WFH) to deal with. I'm feeling very overwhelmed and have felt like this all day.

    I was able to keep it together up until my partner was out of view after going through TSA. As soon as she was out of view, I felt the tears coming on. I cried when I got to our car, and have done so a couple more times since being back home. Seeing our oldest and most attached cat notice that only I came through the door and "mom" wasn't with me about sent me into a spiral.

    Luckily we plan on calling each other to fall asleep "together" which should help a bit. But damn, I didn't know it would be this hard.

    Thanks for letting me vent a bit.

  • I think its being 👍, i recently discovered i am bi so that was a surprise

    "..i..it's Friday!"

  • Pretty great, actually.

    Was recently diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency (I hate being a night owl), and started supplementing. The change has been pretty drastic and welcomed.

    • I had that issue over ten years ago. I’m not really an outdoor person but moving from FL to TN and then to PA… in three years I didn’t know what was wrong with me. My vitamin D hit 11. I take 50,000 In once a week forever now, keeps it in the 60’s.

      • I’m glad you’re managing yours and, hopefully, everything is good now for you.

        I’ve been a night owl my whole life, and always seem to forget that I’m kind of prone to it if I’m not paying attention. You’d think I would’ve learned after all this time lol.

  • Well, before today it wasn't so great. However, payday was today, and I've got some time off work for about four days, and my birthday falls within the next few days as well!

    So hopefully I'm past the lowest point of the week and it only goes up from here.

  • Can't keep most food down, although probably because I'm filled with shit. Regardless, time to get an ultrasound to make sure. I can keep down liquids so soup and hydration it is.

    The kitten is being very cozy so that's going well. We think she's scaring mice so also good for her.

    The thing growing on my jaw still scares me but that appointment is for the 13th. If the dentist doesn't cancel.
