    My 16-year-old has a persistent ear infection. Last school year he had a bad reaction to amoxicillin so they’ve been trying to treat with increasingly powerful alternatives to no effect. Tomorrow they will administer an antibiotic via injection in office and keep him for a half hour to watch for a reaction. I’m scared

    Sending positive vibes! I sure hope this knocks it out. poor kid

    Trade School and vocational programs are underrated. Do you think you would ever work for an AI CEO if that happened or would you resign?

    Hope all goes well and it helps him.

    I’d go back to the land. I’ve spent at least 25 years of my life collecting hobbies and skills that can support me if necessary. I just need to add a couple of friends to my roster to complete the circle.

    Eta: i’m not a back to the lander. The Nearings were crazy people. I don’t romanticize that *kitten*. It’s hard *kitten* work that never ends to provide for yourself from nothing. But I think I can do it and I think I would choose it over working for a computer.

    I signed up for two professional development classes on the same day. I guess I’ll be leaving purchasing 15 minutes early to get to CPR.

    At least you’ll be very professional ;)!

    Thinking about what the purpose is in life and how I can discover what it is (if there even is a purpose) .. :o

    I’ll seem professional…which might be the same thing

    You’ll make yourself crazy with questions like that.

    Nah, I hate the false idea of what is “professional.” I’ve faked things in the past & I don’t have the energy anymore. I do my job. I’m pretty good at it. I keep learning. But I won’t glad hand anyone

    I pushed surgery into December so I didn’t have to cancel a trip to see my son. Gives me extra time to prepare. I need to stop being a couch potato, and get *kitten* done. Focus on what I can do. Not what I can’t.

    Mindset shifts are hard especially after a series of setbacks but imho & fwiw I think you’re going about it the right way.

    Thank you ❤️ The first holidays without my dad was already going to be a struggle. Having to deal with physical pain (recovery) on top of emotional pain is going to be tough.
    Gotta dig deep. I feel his strength growing inside of me. I got this…


    Got damn right you got this -

    I saw someone I mostly know from the gym wearing real clothes and it was borderline shocking.

    So far today I’ve told someone I don’t need my car in order to hit them, and I’ve torn my trousers & had to go home to change. I still feel good. Come at me bro.

    Were the first two things related, @itchmyTwitch ? 😆
