Mama de Cleo rides again

Jul 28, 2009 15:17

So yesterday I got absolutely zero work done because my dogs spent all morning barking hysterically at stove repair people. The two guys themselves were nice; they've been out to our house a total of three times to install a new range for us (and I'll have to take a picture of it; it's totally space-age awesome and... a bit difficult to cook on, ( Read more... )

depression, bipolar, appropriate responses to bad situations, my mother, shenanigans

I love your Mom. End of story.

Cleo's mom has powers beyond those of mere mortals. Let scamming department heads beware.

She's like a ....superhero.

A superhero...fighting the forces of evil...one repairman at a time!

(Sounds like a great movie)

Re: Lamictal.

It sounds like your body was just in shock. Your doctor jumped you from 150 to 200 (WTFUCKINGFUCK?!?!) without a pause at 175. Then when you did the 175, you were 'withdrawing' from the 200.

Lamictal is some crazy shit, I know that much.

cleolinda July 28 2009, 21:28:37 UTC

Yeah, I don't get why she keeps suggesting these 50 mg jumps when I KNOW they don't work for me. Although by the time we were done discussing it two weeks ago, she had agreed to the 175 thing. She just didn't make it terribly convenient to try that.

I've done really well on it, though. I mean, in general. When we're not screwing with it.

I am a big fan of your mother. And I wish I had her confidence, because I have paid that damned Sears "service call" charge MORE THAN ONCE. Damn their eyes.

But never again, so thank your mother for me!

cleolinda July 28 2009, 21:29:52 UTC

Now, I don't know if every service call charge is a rip-off. I just know that the "multiple trips for one uncompleted installation" one, apparently, is.

kauricat July 28 2009, 21:33:00 UTC

Duly noted. I shall only bare my fangs if they're gouging for installation. :)

Completely and totally OT: I adore the phrase "Damn your/his/their eyes" but haven't found any historical source or evolution for it. Not that I take you for an expert, but do you have any idea about that?

Two things:

1) As always, I love your mom. She is the awesomest.

2) In regards to the Adventures in Meds-Land...damn, lady. I'm glad you seem to be feeling better.

cleolinda July 28 2009, 21:31:48 UTC

Yeah, well... that's why there's been a total lack of linkspam, because it was the easiest corner to cut if I was going to let something go for a few days.

unicornluvr July 28 2009, 23:37:29 UTC

I would think that I'd have been more productive these last few days without your ever-entertaining linkspam to distract me. . .but I've just been watching my internet go out every five minutes (DAMN YOU AT&T!!!) and drowning my sorrows in The Pond Scene*.

*I am steadily and disturbingly becoming Bridget Jones, it would seem.

plazmah July 28 2009, 21:35:16 UTC

Your mother is my hero. :D

And I'm glad to hear you're okay!
