frolic
including but not limited to teething, separation anxiety, a sleep regression bc he can pull himself up on things now, and so forth

I’m genuinely impressed by the accuracy of the transcription

god last night was a horrorshow. I think I got maybe three consecutive hours of sleep towards the end?? I had to take PTO today just to fuckin rest

fucking lmao I went to PT this morning after an unusually painful choir practice and we ascertained that I 1) have a pinched nerve in my back 2) which has been there for a while 3) BECAUSE ONE OF MY LEGS IS FULLY A CENTIMETER LONGER THAN THE OTHER
frolic
I've gone thru my life thinking scoliosis just made one of my hips higher. but no. and that's why my back has been so fucked in these Baby Times and my pain has not responded at all to PT
frolic
frolic
on the bright side callen slept great last night and was in a good mood today
frolic
we are thrilled for him and hoping to see those chompers in place soon
frolic
I have not talked much about my switchbox debacle because I'm being extremely mentally ill about it and it's mostly a problem for IT but I just sent them this diagram and have gone full pepe silvia
frolic
frolic
I literally tried to talk this out to my therapist who just sat there like :3 what
Lana
I mean i don't know anything about this but that seems fairly clear to me
Lana
sometimes you need a diagram
frolic
I suppose that's true
frolic
my favorite tech support person is helping me and I'm going to marry her
frolic
she always comes to the rescue somehow
frolic
she gave me M&Ms when I had to drive all the way down to Renton for no fucking reason while pregnant
frolic
having such a normal one, almost burst into tears when I was explaining that this isn't for any prestigious work reasons, I just have perceived that I draw for myself much less when I have to jump through hoops to hook the cintiq back up to my personal machine
frolic
and it didn't alter her answers at all, she did not disregard this as an unimportant reason or waste of company time
frolic
between this and the leg thing I feel like this week is trying to teach me that sometimes things aren't just completely my fault and/or unsolvable bullshit that I'm stuck in alone
frolic
like I haven't been improving at PT not because I'm like?? lazy or bad at correctly using my muscles?? it's because of an anatomical factor that none of us accounted for, and we just need to change course
frolic
and the helpdesk person told me straight up that the guy I was talking to who didn't seem to understand was not used to working with these machines the way she is, and it was clear from my POV that he didn't see it as a priority (bc to be fair I ranked it very low in my help request)
frolic
but in both cases all it took was a moment of clarity in which I said what I needed and someone actually listened. and heard the entire statement. and now we can make progress
frolic
and that makes me so emotional I could die apparently
frolic
weird how spending the medically worst year of my life being told 'aww, oh no! anyway see you later!' by the people I appealed to for help maybe traumatized me a little bit
mj
aw man cami. I am glad people are hearing you when you talk.
Lana
I'm glad people are hearing you too. I struggle with that a lot too. 💖💖
frolic
there is a new very small baby at the daycare and we keep hearing that Callen wants to be around them just so he can very gently pet their hair and give them little kisses
frolic
frolic
we will obviously need to have a conversation about personal space when possible but frankly I am happy his instinct is to be sweet
mj
oh nooooo that’s so cute
just donna
sweet boy!
frolic
I love him so much it makes me fucking sick
Tidemother
ohhhhh he's so precious, I melt...
Lana
oh this is adorable
frolic
further cute things: pippin is so completely gentle and good with callen that the latter can literally take a toy out of his mouth and he just. lets him.
frolic
idk how we ended up with the platonic ideal of a family dog but he is the best and I love him so much
frolic
omg he just started wagging his tail in his sleep and it scared the hell out of me
frolic
