I’m probably not going to do much writing today. I just remember that stupid Social Security review form that I got last week. I need to complete that, and I don’t know yet how long it will take or how much it will freak me out. I’m giving it first priority this afternoon. I think I might take an Ativan, though, because I’m getting a headache just thinking about looking at the forms.

Scott had to work late last night, and I realized that we still have a lot of potatoes to eat. I had pulled pork, and Cordelia had a potato. The lentils are still sealed and sitting on the counter. I don’t know if I’ll cook them tonight or not.

Scott will have to stop at the store on his way home tonight. He didn’t last night because he was too tired, but we’re on our last roll of toilet paper, and that’s not something we can really do without. The roll might last until he gets off work tomorrow, but I’d hate to take that risk. We also need lunchmeat and… something else that I’m forgetting right now. Oh, yes. Sensitivity toothpaste for me. I put it on the grocery list, but Scott always forgets to buy what I put in that section so that I have to send him on a special trip.

I also need to find a misplaced library book that’s due on Sunday and can’t be renewed. I haven’t even opened it yet, and I’d like to read a few pages at least so that I know whether or not to try to get it out again. I looked in the two places where I thought it was. There’re a couple of other options, but I’m not going to dig into them until after the forms are done.

I have an appointment downtown on Thursday. I also have a library hold that expires that day, so I’ll definitely go to the library while I’m there. My appointment’s only about three blocks away, so it’s not a huge detour. I may or may not buy lunch downtown. My appointment’s at 10:30 and runs half an hour. 11:00 is kind of early for lunch for me, but if I go to the library, that’ll make it 11:30. I don’t know.

How on earth am I supposed to remember every single medication I've taken in the last twelve months? Prescription and non-prescription both... I can get some of the prescription information from my pharmacy, but there were a couple of in office injections and, I think, one or two prescriptions filled at other pharmacies. Also, the form only gives six slots for medications. I'm pretty sure I've got three times that. There's a section for additional information, but it's a PITA to use it, and I'm worried I'll run out of space there, too, since it's additional information for everything on the entire form.

Signal boosting:
A non-profit (@InvDisability) in the US has taken out a trademark on the term 'invisible disability' and is actively enforcing it. Can we take my rant about how ridiculous that is as written?

There's a Change.org petition to the US trademark and patent office (and to the president) about it. Not very many people have signed. I have no idea if the office will pay attention to such a petition, but signing is a low spoon option for protesting.

I've come up with a list of more than thirty medications I've taken in the last year. I'm sure I'm missing things, though. If I miss something like, say, Visine, once, six months ago, I don't think it matters. But some other stuff could.

I'm not sure--- Does Benefiber count? It was prescribed but OTC and isn't exactly a medication. But I'm not sure that it's not.

I'm going to have look up the spelling for a number of things, too.
