So. This week was really rough for me — not because of the cat interview, either (that was Jessica’s problem).
For one thing, I still have a really persistent, annoying, post-COVID cough. At this point, I’m worried that this is just how the rest of my life is going to be.
But the other bit is more serious. After having a phenominal week from seeing everyone so happy to help Morgana and I (thank you, again!), I hit a hiccup. I’m on antidepressants (who isn’t, these days? Everything is terrible), and I took my last pill on Friday. I thought I’d had another bottle, but I was mistaken. “No big deal,” I thought, “I’ll reorder with my pharmacy.”
The pharmacy said there was some issue (I’ve been on this medication for years!), and they had to get a hold of my doctor. “No big deal,” I thought, “they’ll work this out with my doctor.”
The pharmacy said that they couldn’t get a hold of my doctor, and that I should try myself. “No big deal,” I thought, “I’ll just… ugh… call my doctor.”
For some reason, my doctor’s office was closed on Friday. “No big deal,” I thought, “I should be okay for two days, right? I’ll call Monday.”
I called the doctor Monday, and the office seemed confused about what the pharmacy would even need, so they put in the order with the pharmacy for them to get my pills out that day.
The order was placed “on hold.” No explanation.
Every day since then, I’ve been bugging my pharmacy about where the hell my pills are, and the withdrawal symptoms definitely kicked in after about three or four days. It’s now been a full week, and I still don’t have my meds.
I didn’t mean for this whole post to be about my medication woes, so let’s just say that my pharmacy sucks and I literally cannot change it because they’re literally owned by the same company that handles my phamraceutical insurance. Seems like that should be illegal, but — nope. That’s a whole topic I’m not gonna get into.
Why did I get into this whole thing? Because it’s made working on anything a struggle. I got started on all the custom renders I needed to do, but for one of them I was having some trouble with a pose (I hate how Daz handles thumbs), and I got so frustrated that I screamed at my monitor and shut down everything without saving.
With any luck, I’ll have my pills tomorrow. If not, I’m going to be having a pretty rough time with everything.
But hey! Check out the render I used for the header image! That’s from one of the scenes in the game, so you have that to look forward to! I think I’m continually improving my Daz skills, and that’s something I can be proud of even with my brain rebelling against me.
Keep the legends (and my sanity) alive!
