I rolled off my bed for the first time in easily 20 years this morning, and nailed the small side table. I have a lovely cut above my lip right now, and it's the worst place imaginable for it. I have to literally fish lips to keep it sealed up, because they wouldn't do a thing for it at emergency.
So I have uber-vaselined lips, and am debating how to take the mind off it...
Yesterday I got in a car accident. My fiance and I are okay, thankfully (we are just banged up) and it wasn’t my fault.
The idiot who caused the accident got to drive off at the end—She failed to see the person in front of her braking and turning (what do you want to bet she was looking at her fucking phone?) so she veered over right into us (side swiping the driver’s side; me) which then caused the girl behind the idiot to rear end said moron. My car is fucked but not sure how badly. The girl who rear ended the moron’s car looked totaled. I don’t like dealing with police but at least they were able to figure out what happened quickly.
I’ve been in accidents before but this one seems to have left some trauma. I’ve been really angry and depressed in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time. Today has been very hard. And this is a minor piece of it, sorry in advance, but my insurance got me a rental car and they gave me an enormous jeep. I don’t like driving big cars. I’ve always been a Toyota Camry or Corolla or Honda Civic guy. And having just been in an accident, I am extra anxious in a big car I’m not used to. I asked for a smaller car and was told no.
Maybe it’s more traumatic because I wasn’t alone and my fiance was at risk? Maybe it’s just been a rough year so far. I was sick with 3 different things last month. I don’t know.

I went for a colonoscopy and endoscopy yesterday. While I was under, the worst tragedy in my state’s history happened since 2011. The story is still unfolding, but the infant that was stabbed was taken to the hospital I was at right as it was happening:

We live in rural Tennessee while my wife does vet school out here. They don’t have a teaching hospital so she’s gonna start bouncing around the country doing her clinicals for the next year soon. Decided to just stay here where it’s cheap for the year while she’s gone. My landlord (who has been very good to us for the most part even though he’s kind of just a weird old republican white man) and I agreed to this a couple months ago and he said he’d draw up a new lease for me. Well he just now gives me a call saying he’s gonna give the house to his daughter in early July so I need to be out by then. He said if one of his one bed rooms opens up I’ll be first in line for it, but I honestly don’t even fucking care and do not want him as my landlord ever again. FUCK I am irritated
It’s so fucking infuriating. I’m stuck between just finding a place to stay here or just saying fuck it and joining my wife on her clinical rotations. Idk how I’d be able to make the nomad life work for 10 months though
I'm not good at waiting, and I dislike waiting. It's so strange, because normally time slips through my hands like water. But when I'm waiting and anticipating something, it goes so slow. Watching the clock is torturous, because time just goes agonizingly slow. I'm waiting for a package and have to be here to sign for it. Time is just painstakingly going on. Hell, it's not even 12 noon. I woke up early today out of anticipation for this package. I've been looking forward to it for a month. Yet time just continues to drip like molasses.
my mom died of pancreatic cancer yesterday.
this does not seem real to me.
So sorry for your loss @DVYDRNS :-(
I’m sorry for your loss @DVYDRNS

My 18 year-old cat was euthanized two hours ago. After 17 years together, the house is very empty without him, can't help thinking that if I look hard enough I'll find him around here somewhere.
Today sucks.
Condolences and empathy.
My beloved's uncle, aunt and niece are visiting from another province and on the way to MiL they were t-boned and flipped into the ditch... uncle is being airlifted to a nearby hospital, aunt and niece are in an ambulance... I'm told they were moving and talking, so those are positive things but not really the kind of thing you want to have happen.... belove will probably be headed to the hospital later in the evening to check in on things in person.
This are less good than previously reported.
More surgery revealed bad.
I'mma gonna stop talking about it until more details are known... but we may have an RIP coming up.
@WingWalker so sorry for your loss
@MrLobster oh my goodness, I hope everything works out for the best!
so a couple months ago my mom passed away from pancreatic cancer.
this past friday my dad was admitted to the hospital for double pneumonia, kidney failure and congestive heart failure.
this morning he made the decision to be removed from all the devices and be made comfortable.
I'm currently flying back east to say goodbye.
this is total trash. wth.
@DVYDRNS many many hugs
Dad passed early this morning around 1 am. About an hour after I got to him.
I’m sorry for your losses. That’s a really tough 2-3 months for you.
