Insurance companies should not be able to deny patients coverage for a prescription if the patients pharmacy only has a supply of the name brand drug. It's a fucking shell game.
In better news, I'm grateful to be one of those that actually loves stevia as a sweetener. My new favorite thing is adding liquid stevia to lemon juice and water for a basic lemonade. Also works well with glass of 1/2 unsweetened cranberry juice and 1/2 water.
Not happy that my first toot in years precipitated from helping someone close to me through a crisis this afternoon. Cruel policies really are rage bait for me.
Walgreens apparently updated their store policy and no longer provides information about their supply of ADHD meds over the phone to patients. Patients are required to visit a store with their prescription or have their prescriber call them directly. This sort of treatment is inhumane. The company is effectively punishing people in the middle of a personal health crisis because of local supply shortages that are outside their control.
my partner and i have been at a loss since season 2 as to why people don't seem to like this show. now that I've seen the finale, I wonder if that affinity has anything to do with her journey as a queer woman. honestly had no idea the animated show would end on that note.
and it did not help that i failed today to troubleshoot the indexing problem I've been having since Day 1 with Windows 10. I cannot figure out how to get the search function to recall any of my pdfs. I've double checked and rebuilt the index registry 3 times. thought I figured it out after repairing some corrupt file associated with the registry too. but after some fancy admin command line magic, still nothing. argh.

i think i had my first mild panic attack today.

i think it came on after giving myself an unrealistic ultimatum.

15 minutes of deep breathing and stepping away from the machine helped. settling into my old routines and ignoring the threat of another missed deadline helped. going back to an uncompromising attitude of selfcare-first helped.

normally I would be exceedingly happy with 1k+ really good words, but today it needed to be closer to 2k.

@beadsland is that pronounced jeemopunk or geemopunk
really hoping the new Animal Crossing provides enough texture resolution for players to spray paint SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM on everything
