So the icon on Steam makes me think of the old Netscape Navigator logo... 😂

Language! And Pharmacy Screw-Ups.

If there's one company I hate more than any other on earth, it's OptumRx. This pharmacy, without fail, fucks up EVERY SINGLE ORDER and it takes me 4-5 phone calls to straighten it all out.

I've never encountered such an astounding level of incompetence. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops like a circus animal just to get my goddamn medications.😡

I should really post on here more, but I have a hard time believing that anyone cares to read about the useless minutae that is my life. 😅

I made it! It was a rough month full of all kinds of obstacles IRL, a lot of stressors that really sapped my creative energy. There are plenty of days just getting my 1667 was a ~slog~ and those passages are likely absolute trash, but I still pushed through. It's been mentally exhausting and I wasn't sure I was going to make it at one point, but hey...

... I did it! \o/

I got double flu and COVID vaccinations today. We'll see how hard the double-whammy hits me. I may turn into a slug tomorrow.

Played some My Time at Sandrock in /multiplayer/ mode tonight and it was a grand time!

It's so different from solo player mode, so I definitely recommend checking it out! I kept laughing at myself because I kept getting lost in town (the map is a bit different) and the talent trees are different. It was really like playing a brand new game!

Yes, I know I'm behind schedule, but I'll get there! If you'd like to read an excerpt of my novel -- an Arthurian Fiction about the journey of Excalibur from forging to Merlin's hands -- you can do so here!

As a career healer, it always makes me swoon a little in my healer heart when a tank uses their healing cooldowns on me. 💗

One of my love languages is Acts of Mitigation. 😂

Chronic Illness, American Medicine

And here is a clear illustration as to why I hate American Medicine.

I have three auto-immune conditions, one of which is a skin condition, that are carefully managed by my rheumatologist. He recently prescribed me a new medication to help with my skin.

The INSURANCE has denied me getting that medication because -- get this -- the doctor prescribing it isn't a DERMATOLOGIST. Do they not realize that there are /other/ doctors that treat skin conditions?

I am in no way good at the new Fall Guys event; my arthritis and dactylitis make it pretty much impossible for me to get past Round 1. So, I just AFK at the start and watch something on Netflix til the round ends. It's slow-going to the things I want, but infinitely less frustrating.

Update!

Current Word Count: 5398

I'm over 2000 words ahead of schedule so far, but I know how easy it is to start to fall behind if I don't keep up with my 1667 each day.

I'm still excited and nervous, but hopeful that I can get this done. I can't wait to talk to my therapist on Friday and tell him everything I've done. He'll be so proud. 😆
