the_rckScott was too exhausted to work yesterday, so he called in. We slept until around 10 and then didn’t do much at all for a while.
He drove me to my appointment at 3. We parked at the library, and he walked me the three blocks to the appointment. He even came into the building and all the way up to the office with me. Once I was there and checked in, he went off to pick up our library holds and to find himself some lunch.
The genetic testing for medication matching only requires a couple of cheek swabs, so we were able to do that in the office yesterday, no blood draw needed.
The psychiatrist and I both agreed that Trump is horrible but that Pence is worse. My psychiatrist is an Asian American woman (I’m not sure of exact country of ancestry), so she’s got a different perspective than I do, but we’re both worried about healthcare coverage and various types of hate/hatecrimes. Ann Arbor is a pretty liberal place, so I haven’t run into people in my day to day life who aren’t appalled by the election results. Scott has because of his coworkers. The local schools offered access to counseling for any students who were upset by the election. At least one of Cordelia’s friends actually went.
Scott and I watched a movie last night before Supergirl came on. We agreed that it was really and truly tedious, and when we realized we’d missed the last fifteen or so minutes due to being distracted, we had no interest in going back to see it.
There are a lot of chores I’d like to get done today, but I don’t think I can do all of them without wrecking myself. I’ll give the trash and baking bread first priority because those must get done today. I also need to shower. Putting away laundry can wait until tomorrow or Thursday. Changing the sheets and putting dishes in the dishwasher can wait, too. I’d love to make brownies (from a mix), but that’s better on a day when I have nothing else that must be done (so probably Friday).
I wrote about 450 words yesterday. It doesn’t connect exactly to the other bits I’ve got. I’m dipping into a particular character’s life over a long period of time, so each section is very much its own thing, just with a couple of through lines.

Date: 2016-11-15 06:57 pm (UTC)That's good (and bad as it's needed) that the school has offered counseling. I hope Cordelia is okay.
But my god, that we've come to this. I've been reading about kids all over the country being affected, scared, hysterical, and such. It's awful.
And yes, Pence is very scary. He's a True Believer, (and so well spoken, ugh!) and that's much worse IMO than a man just out to toot his own horn.
I'm having to change insurance companies again because mine is dropping out of The Market Place. I really hope I don't have to change doctors too. I hope you don't have any problems with your coverage. It sounds like you have a nice psychiatrist.
HUGS

Date: 2016-11-15 11:24 pm (UTC)I think that, generally speaking, I'll be okay on the health insurance front. I have three different health insurances. The one through Scott's employer is primary. Medicare is secondary. Finally, I have insurance through the long term disability plan from my former employer.
