Sending hugs. The world is messed up right now, but it'll get better. We just need to hang on, together. If you feel like wanting to vent or talk random stuff to distract yourself, feel free to hit me with a PM.

Thanks y'all. Right now my stress is coming from my uncertain job situation. I had taken this job for teaching in China next year, but with all the insanity and volatile discourse between the U.S. and China, I'm not going now. So, back to the search. This is really late in the game to find teaching jobs overseas so I'm worried I'll have to settle for finding a job here in Texas again - yes yes, any job would be a blessing but when I've had my heart set on getting the hell out of here for a while, settling is killing me.

MS is so freaking slow... it took almost 5 minutes to load the homepage and I keep getting the 502-whatever errors every minute or so.

My poor adrenals are kaput... T_T My doctor did a stimulation test, and the normal reference range is 14-16 after stimulation. Mine was a whopping 1.6! That's gonna be a yikes from me. At least I'm back up to my previous dose of hydrocortisone, which was 20 mg. My second and last doses are only half a tablet, but my doctor wants to see if it will be enough to carry me through the night without feeling tired upon waking up in the morning. I also have to get a CAT scan of my adrenals, but I have to wait a few months because I just got an MRI and too much contrast can cause kidney problems.

My weight is also suffering. My dose was lowered because I was gaining weight and retaining water. But ever since lowering it, I STILL gained 10 pounds in about a month! Thankfully I'm getting more blood work done again (mostly to test for my ovaries, but we're doing a full hormone panel again). Call me obsessive or crazy, but I'm still suspicious that my thyroid is starting to slow down. My TSH, though still within "normal" range, was a bit on the high side of normal. It's close to hitting 3's & 4's, which my doctor said is when we should start worrying. I've read that anything over 2.5 should be monitored because you're at risk of developing hypothyroidism. Mine was .02 from being a 3 and is significantly higher than the last time my TSH was tested. *Puts tinfoil hat on* It's a trend I'm not liking. :sweat:

Covid stuff:
Spoiler
I have a friend waiting on test results. She has 3 daughters, a granddaughter, and a disabled son who live with her. Her estranged husband has been staying with her on alternate weekends for visitation. He has come to town to help out because she's too sick to care for the son full time (he's teleworking). When she got the sample taken for the test, her oldest daughter was with her and the doctor said that the rest of the family only needs to isolate "if they're showing symptoms". :t-facepalm: :srsly: I'm supposed to visit him the first weekend in June, but...that might get shoved back yet another week.
Feel free to click my entire keep. Anything I don't want to grow is protected.

Excuse me, but WTF. Someone is selling my out of print book for over a $1000 on Amazon. No one in their right mind is going to spend that much.

Look. I kind of enjoy the spacey-modern look. But for the love of Bob Ross, DON`T make the bloody text T-rex sized just so it can fit both mobile and PC! It may look good on mobile, but the text makes my eyes BLEED on the laptop! I have to zoom out to be able to read it...and wtf is up with the 150 miles of margin on the left side!?

And more importantly...pretty damn sure Eclipse isn't finished. WHY are you forcing this unfinished damn site on us? With brainiacs idea was it? D<

F it. Will fix this mess with Stylish. :derp:

Uggg....I was forced onto Eclipse in my mobile browser about two months ago. I closed the tab on my phone and haven't been back since.
