I'm home!
I got less of a workup than expected, but I was visited by lots of different doctors and discharged late this afternoon.
It's not totally resolved, but I'm okay and there's a plan.

Welp, guess your girl gets new meds and an overnight stay, and then a proper workup in the morning.
But! The nurse brought me a Pepsi, so that's a good sign (allowed to eat and drink).
Probably about to be the most expensive Pepsi of my life, but I'll take it.
Thanks for the love, more soon. ❤️

Hey y'all.
I'm in the midst of a medical thing and being sent to the ER.
Everything should be okay!!!
But if y'all are the praying or good vibes type, now would be a great time and I'd appreciate any extra love y'all want to send.
I'll update when I can. ❤️

Apex/Cary/nearby - is y'all's Internet out too, or is it just us?
Ours has been out all day, and apparently Spectrum has given up on an estimate.
(Between the antenna, a house full of media, and my eyes being too wonky to really watch anything anyways .. we're good? But I'm still curious.)

Had to get my eyes dilated for an exam today, and now I extra can't see correctly.
But!
1. J was around to drive me back and forth, so at least I didn't have to even try.
2. My pupils are GIGANTIC and it's kind of hilarious looking.
Guess I'm just kicking it for the rest of the morning.

Well, as much of a yay as 664 can be, I guess. But it means we're almost there!

A full 40 minutes on the road (so, all the way through/across Raleigh, and generally the worst part of the drive)...
And I realized I forgot my hearing aid.
Like, the one thing I never leave the house without!
I think we have everything else you could imagine packed and triple checked though.

Me: *hears the TV loading up something*
Oooh, what'd you pick to watch?
J: *cheerily* Steel Magnolias!
Me: Wait, really?! 😆 Okay, I'm in!
He has never seen it, but knows that Dolly Parton is in it, and it's on all the Movies-you-should-see-at-some-point lists.

I am an adult, childfree person...
But you know what? Things are pretty bleak, and this seemed like a joyful upgrade to a drink on my errands run.
I think the last time I had a Happy Meal was easily over 30 years ago.

Apparently I have a whole bunch of Sheetz points that I need to use before they expire.
And I *do* love a weird LTO...
So here we go!
(Also...$2.69?? For 2.6 ounces? Yeesh. All the more reason to use points and get them for free, I guess.)

Happy Friday, bluesky friends!
Are any of y'all out there in the tech world looking for a senior dev/software engineer? Preferably fully remote, but we are in Apex, so some local-to-the-Triangle in-office time would prob be okay...?
Putting out some feelers for my other half.
