Work was really great, thanks Ima.
How was your day?
How was your day?
I went to work despite still having the migraine but they sent me home and told me to go to the hospital.
I told them what the doctor said on Thursday (that he thought I had meningitis). As it turns out, I don't. It's just a week long migraine and photophobia.
They said they had a 'duty of care'. I understand that but I can't afford to be off work any more. I've got no sick leave left and I'm not being paid for the days I had off and I've got some big bills.
Do you have any long service leave?
4 days but you have to take in lots of 7 days. And get this. Weekends count as long service leave as well. That's a ripoff! So for every 7 days you have, you're really onl getting 5 days off work.

Kato was my only person but it did last for 23 years. I knew if we split up, I'd never find anyone else but that's not so bad.
We're still friends and we still talk and see each other every now and then but there's no chance of reconciliation.
It's great that you were able to remain friends! It's not often that that happens.
Even though it's clear that we're beyond damaged (and that he's likely been emotionally abusive), stupid me still can't come to terms with the idea of not having him in the next room. It's so ridiculous of me.
That's where I'm at!

No, it's perfectly understandable. Relationships are a complicated thing. Listen to me. I sound like a man of the world and I've only had one partner. What would I know? I think with Kathy's terrible OCD (poor thing) and me with my problems, it was a codependent thing. But we did get along well a lot of the time. Intimacy was a problem. We hadn't 'been together' for 10 years before we eventually split up. I just wasn't interested in that. I slept on the lounge for a long time by choice and it was also good for my shoulder (scapula break). The bed was really rough on it.
I'm just glad that when the time finally comes, I'll at least have some people to talk to here on WP.
That's where I'm at! - But I'm happy with my family here

As far as the migraine goes, I've taken 25mg of Endone (in one go) and washing it down with VB. I'm in a reasonable good place at the moment Pain's gone

Pain's gone That's great that it's working for you. My neurologist keeps throwing anti-convulsants at me but you have to take them continuously and the side effects are a bunch of crap that I already deal with. I have yet to try a painkiller that actually dulls pain.

What sort of side effects do you get?

The most common ones are fatigue and extreme brain fog...and I've got enough of those already courtesy of other pre-existing conditions.

It's about 1,600 miles (2574.9504 kilometers) away. So a 22 hours drive. So, kind of close? 
I'm only about six hours away, I've been there it's very cool. Plus I live in southern Colorado so I get mainly New Mexico radio, tv, etc, and they're always showing cool pictures of Carlsbad...it's the only thing worth seeing in New Mexico tbh.
What about Bandelier National Monument? That looks pretty cool.
No need, I live 30 minutes away from Mesa Verde, which is like 10x bigger and 10x badder.
