Jun. 16th, 2019 04:27 pmI'm almost through the stressful part of June. Well, I'm almost through it as long as my mammogram on Tuesday doesn't show anything unexpected. I'm assuming that it won't, but the fact that I can't rely on that assumption is part of why I'm still stressed.
Scott took Thursday and Friday as vacation days, mostly because that would let him drive me to my disability review appointment on Thursday. That started at 7 a.m. and finished a bit after 1 p.m. Scott didn't stay the whole time, but he brought me lunch in the middle of it. I have no real idea how it went apart from me realizing in the middle of it that my ability to manage multi-step reasoning in my head has completely vanished. That was very frustrating because I knew that those were things that I used to be able to do with trivial effort. Those were mostly mathematical questions, and I could still manage them if I could write down the pieces and go step by step. I just can't do those steps in my head any longer.
Cordelia had finals this week and spent Friday afternoon hanging out with a couple of her friends. They spent some time downtown and some time here.
Scott and Cordelia went to see Anastasia yesterday in Detroit. I think that's the last such trip this year which is good because musicals and concerts are expensive and bad because this is a thing that Scott and Cordelia really enjoy doing together.
I asked them to pick me up something sweet on their way home, so they stopped at Plum Market. While they were there, they discovered that the place has added a locked case of CBD containing products. Scott got me a lotion to try.
It's a tiny tube and was quite expensive, but when I put it on the parts of my left hand that hurt, it helped incredibly. The pain decreased noticeably. I waited a while and then tried it on my right hand. It helped there, too. I'll keep trying it when things are bad and see how I feel going forward.
I've spent a lot of time reading fics that I'm not sure I'd label as good. They worked just fine for keeping me from fretting. Yesterday, I managed to start editing a fic that's been sitting since late March/early April. I'm hoping to be able to post that in a week or two.
Scott's sister and her family are in Germany right now, so nothing got organized for Father's Day with Scott's parents. I asked Scott about it several times, but he didn't reach out to his folks. I'll make him call his father later, but I don't have the energy to do more than that.
Cordelia got Scott a t-shirt for Father's Day. It says 'Dad I love you three thousand.' He's wearing it now.
