For the love of dog, people. Ok. I work in a vets office. At the front desk. If you call your vet because you have something urgent going on and they're telling you they are already absolutely slammed, they're not just trying to ignore you. I have 1 vet and 1 technician here today, plus me and we're already ready to play in traffic. Please be kind and if you're being told to utilize an ER, please take that suggestion so your pet gets seen in an emergency.

@Flyingdutchman696 Yeah, it's crazy. I only went to the ER because my temp kept going up and I felt like death. They could have given me fluids and sent me home when they found out it was the flu. That high heart rate is what made them keep me. Turns out it was only *because of* the temp. When that went down my heart was fine. Could have saved myself 1/3 of that bill and only stayed 1 day. 🙄

Finally got the final bill from my hospital stay over Thanksgiving. I still can't believe a 3 day stay for the flu and monitoring for a high heart rate cost $38,000 before insurance. This country's healthcare system stinks. My responsibility after insurance is just over $6000 and that's basically gonna take forever for me to pay off.

@MrGoat If only that would work in my house. 😂

It is already unbearably warm upstairs in my house. I have no idea how I'm going to sleep comfortably tonight. Yikes.

I'm a little bummed I'll be stuck at work for the eclipse. I can only hope my boss doesn't mind us running outside to try to get a peek. I have a feeling we won't get a decent view from the big front windows.

@BFBucky1 Mine. It was all stuff I wanted. 😁

A little late, but my boyfriend threw together an adult Easter egg hunt for me. Massive success.

Finally completed the first section! Woo!

Listening to the Edward Furlong episode of Michael Rosenbaum's podcast (which I love) and his voice is bringing me right back to that little girl crush I had on him in Terminator. The episode is really good and he opens up so much about life and addiction and his journey.

@UmbaSaffire I'll always have a soft spot for that one. Chekhov searching for the nuclear wessels. ❤️

@Maude Felt in CT too. My house wobbled. That's a first .

@th3j35t3r my grandmother had one and I loved playing with it as a kid. Just randomly sliding it to different letters to see who was in there.

Holy poop. Just felt my first earthquake. We just had a brief one in the northeast. I'm in CT and that's not something we're very used to. My dog definitely didn't like it.

"No one seems to understand that real loss never eases; we just become more adept at carrying a weight that settles deeper in our chests, smiling through it, pretending like we are totally fine whenever someone mentions them."

This book nailed it.

@Watercolorstain I think it's worse than the flashing. There are loose bricks and it's probably never been looked at in 30 years. When we had our roof redone this fall because of leaking, they did all new flashing around it.
