I’m right there with you! Dreading the week ahead because my dog still needs a lot of help, and my husband will be home alone with her while I go to work. But we will make it happen.

That’s really cool!

Haha, thank you! I love it!

IWNDWYT! Happy weekend, everyone!

If you read the comments, it seems to be precisely the people in countries with universal healthcare who are having trouble. Getting diagnosed in the US is relatively easy. For me it was a single visit to a psychiatrist, $300 out of pocket because I have not hit my deductible yet. Have been on stimulants and doing well ever since.

That’s hilarious.

Happy Friday! IWNDWYT. My dog’s surgery went well, and she is laying right next to me, still recovering from the shock of it and from being high on ketamine. Poor girl has a rough 3 days in front of her, and after that there is a 2-month rehab schedule with daily massage and exercises. But at the end of it all, she will feel better!!!

It’s a bat pacifier.

It’s a pacifier/binky. It’s just not attached to a bottle.

Here she is! I will post updates on her recovery ❤️‍🩹

What can I say, I’m a rebel.

I’m a therapist. In grad school, one of my professors said that the most reliable way to diagnose someone with ADHD is to give them a stimulant and see how they react. Understandably, that’s not how people are diagnosed for safety and ethical reasons… but it is effective.

Morning, IWNDWYT! My dog is getting major surgery today (TPLO), and I just dropped her off. My heart is hurting for her because recovery will be tough. But she is a strong girl, so I know she will be ok.

I’m sorry you went through a breakup and then your dad had to go and say that. That’s completely uncalled for and untrue. I hope you can find some peace and maybe have a good cry if that’s needed.

I hope you get some good sleep! I know you are capable, and you will kick this test’s butt when you are well-rested!

Hump day is here again, and I will not be drinking with you today.

The week is in full swing! I will not be drinking today with you all. I’m pretty excited because I just interviewed for a student advisor position at an institution where I did my post-grad training, and I’m really looking forward to doing it. So hopefully I get selected!

“I’ve been poisoned by my constituents!”

She is eating a raw cut-up duck breast, like a princess.

From all over the place, really. I’m like an opossum myself - I look through tons of trash on the internet to find something worthwhile for Lemmy 🤣
