Yummy yummy vegetables

Today I used a zucchini-bread recipe to make carrot-bread instead. Even the spicing harmonizes fine with carrots.

Alas, still no school for me. But along with the other foreign teacher at my school, have been saddled with some computer project for the language school. It'll give me something to do for a few weeks at least.

Too many headaches in the meantime. But then I just remembered this morning that I ran out of bp meds last week. Um, related? Probably. But it's too fucking hot today to trek out to the pharmacy. It's waited this long, it can wait another day. (though I am still considering it)

Had a savage bout of suicidal ideation this morning, but I did mostly get past it.

BP meds, or the lack of them, can certainly influence headaches. I hope you can get to the pharmacy soon.

On a whim, I took some aspirin I have on hand from the time I ended up in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack (wasn't). The headache just melted. Was weird, in a good way.

It's going to be less hot today anyway, combined with having to go out anyway for a work thing, hitting the pharmacy on the way home shouldn't be an issue.

I am tired and grumpy and not very well. I think I have an infection in my right leg. I hope to hear from my doctor today or tomorrow to talk me through what I can do about it.

[mecurtin]

I hope you heard *today*, that is not a thing to just let go!

Meanwhile, try hot-hot compresses--I've found them very helpful in combating localized infections.

[lexin]

I will try that, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm still exhausted from last week's family emergency and the house is a disaster still because we can just barely keep up when we're at regular health (which for both me and wife is a bit shithouse, being both disabled, and yet everyone turns to US when they need support and then evaporate when their emergency is over). Wife's stimulus still hasn't shown up, mine's done been spent, but even if it hadn't, we couldn't actually hire someone in to clean for us right now. e_e I'm tired despite spending 12hr/day in bed still and the weather bouncing between clear and stormy is not helping anything for both of us.

IDK, just need to vent I guess.

[mecurtin]

Venting is good! I hope things start gradually getting better for you (& fam).
