Sunday

1. goss drew me the most wonderful drawing of birds and a fountain pen and a birdhouse made of notebooks. Check out the other drawings she's done thus far for More Joy Day.

2. My sister-in-law's mother died last night. I feel so terrible for her. I can't imagine losing my mother in my thirties. I'm waiting to hear on funeral arrangements so I can make travel plans.

3. This weekend has been very chill. I haven't had anything to do, so I've been reading bell hooks and poetry and a book aphrodite_mine sent me.

4. The neuro is tapering me off gabapentin and replacing it with Cymbalta. I am just so exhausted all the time, and the gabapentin is making me more fatigued. Hopefully the Cymbalta will control the pain just as well as the gabapentin, and if I get a little bonus depression/anxiety help, that will be lovely. *crosses fingers*

*fingers crossed for beneficial drug effects*

Here's hoping the cymbalta helps!

[lunabee34]

Thank you thank you!

OOh, Cymbalta is nice! I hope it works for you! I'm sorry about your Sister-in-law's mother. That's awful.

[lunabee34]

Thank you! I'm optimistic.

I feel so bad for them. It just came out of nowhere, too. Less than a month from start to finish for the whole thing.

[amejisuto]

That's just awful! I'll keep them in mind. <3

[lunabee34]

Thank you. *hugs*

Fingers crossed for the new drugs and I am so sorry for your SIL. So hard.

[lunabee34]

Thank you.

It's always rough, but my SIL is so close to her mother. This is going to be even more difficult for her than it would be for some other people.

*hugs*

I hope the Cymbalta works well for you. *hugs*

[lunabee34]

Thank you!

I'm optimistic.

What a beautiful drawing!

Deepest sympathies for your SIL, I hope the travel is okay for you and the new medication works well {hugs}

[lunabee34]

goss is so talented. :)

Thank you. The good thing is the travel isn't hard; it's just long. And I've done it enough now that I shouldn't get lost! LOL

*hopes with you*

[lunabee34]

Thank you, friend.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. Being closer to a parent at least provides a deep bank of good memories to draw on when the person is no longer there.

Go Cymbalta! Win the Making Lorraine Feel Better marathon!

[lunabee34]

Thank you. *hugs*

I agree with you re: closeness. It hurts more, but there's more joy there, too.

I am really hoping for the Cymbalta to work! It's too soon to tell, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything horrible, so that's good. LOL

What do you think so far! I'm eager!

[lunabee34]

I'm enjoying it so far. Very strong voice and sense of place. Love the language, all the colloquialisms. I'm not too far into it yet, just a few chapters, so I'm not sure what the plot is going to be. But I'm enjoying it.

Gentle hugs, and wishing you hardly any side effects from the med changes

[lunabee34]

Thank you thank you. So far so good.

[spikedluv]

I'm so sorry about your sil's mom.

I hope the Cymbalta helps!

[lunabee34]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

*hugs*
