I have the flu. I've never felt worse. I was supposed to have my amniocentesis today (I had an abnormal panorama), so it had to be rescheduled. Now DS is coughing, which was my first symptom and I'm praying he doesn't have the flu, too.
I just scheduled an appointment for the vet to come put my cat down tomorrow. He’s 17.5 and really unwell (puking, not eating, almost 10lbs lost in the last 6 months) but damn this sucks.
I am being laid off after 13 years with my company (I work from home and they want everyone in an office. They offered to relocate me and my family back to DC but I’m not moving back there). So, I am unemployed as of February 1 and it’s totally fucking with my emotions. Supposedly it’s not personal, but it FEELS personal.

Ugh, either alone sucks, but together right before Christmas? I'm really sorry.

Secret Santa woes
My secret santa and I each had each other
Limit was 25$. I bought a pair of under armour gloves (19) and good beer (10)
He got me a 4$ basket from Pier 1
and this person is the highest paid person in our division, making about 8 times what I do. Why participate in something if you weren't going to come close to following the rules.
I'm starting a new job in January and this yet another reason why I'm glad, i always just feel so shit upon when it comes to stuff like this
I'm so sorry LanaLang, being laid off is really hard. I think you are taking this very personally though, I am sure you are a wonderful and lovely person. Try and detach and see that it's because you were the newbie... it's not really about you. Sending you lots of awesome new job vibes <3
Thank you, and I appreciate it. She did tell me I just don't fit in and the team doesn't understand my thought processes. And seriously, who does this five days before Christmas?
I'm so sorry about all of this. I'm currently job hunting, and I can identify with a lot of what you are saying. I know its hard to see now, but things will get better, you are awesome, and good days lie ahead. Hang in there.

Sometimes the best things can happen in the worst possible ways. I was laid off three days before Thanksgiving in 2002. By the worst job I iave ever had in my life. Things got measurably better after that. Hang in there.
I'm believing now that the pain is absolutely related to my shunt and not muscular. I googled VP shunt and shoulder pain and it's absolutely a thing. The "cure" was to reposition tubing, which I have surgery for Jan 10 because of abdominal pain. So, I'm not even sure it's worth calling my NS.
Do you have any solutions for when the pain is really bad? Even with percocet it takes my breath away and I just have to breath through it.

OMG! I’m sorry you are going through this! Honestly, Ibprofen with Benadryl works to relax me. If you can get Xanax it could help too because it helps not to tense up.
Working 6 hours tomorrow with racist woman at work. Lovely. Only like less than a week with her there and thankfully she’s not working the rest of the weekend. Not to mention she’s not working for us anymore after the holidays (NYE is big for liquor industry).
I’m looking forward to the comrade of the first day that she is gone because she makes everyone and the customers really really uncomfortable. (Minus the old POS racist ones).
If you're going to have an inflatable holiday decoration in your yard, DO NOT plug it into a dusk to dawn timer!! Aren't they most obvious during daylight? Then why is your decoration is in a sad heap all day long? Your stupidity ruins my Christmas chill!
