Just got a call from the pharmacy, they reviewed our case and have decided that the insurance company were the ones who made the mistake. They are going to fill my wife's prescription! Fingers crossed the insurance company doesn't try to raise a stink over it.

I always wondered what Sarevok did in his spare time. You know, when he's not actively trying to become a God...

Now I'm curious if you were the only one over 80 who dared to participate
Just kidding. I think it's great how you can motivate yourself, especially since you said in an earlier post that it was something you always wanted to do.

That Deathbringer Assault should keep the judges honest at least!
After three months without coffee, I decided I'd give it another try. I had a small, mild coffee this morning, have observed myself closely all day, and: I'm fine! No racing pulse, no tightness, no increased blood pressure.
I seem to have adapted to my new medicine and it's safe to have a little caffeine. I'll certainly not go back to drinking coffee at work, but to know that I can safely enjoy a little bit of coffee in the morning, when I feel like it, is something very, very nice.
I guess I'll keep to "occasionally", like weekend breakfasts, but this makes me happy

I'm kinda lucky in that caffeine doesn't have much effect on me. I just like the taste of coffee. Because of that I tend to go for the darkest, most powerfully flavored coffee (full mugs of espresso if I can). I used to drink two pots of coffee every night when I worked midnight shift and could still sleep like a baby when I got home! Not sure if it's related, but opiates don't work for me as well as ibuprofen (the constipation side-effect of some opiates hit me so hard I refuse to take codeine anymore).

Well, caffeine and opiates don't share receptors, but people have different enzyme activities, so maybe you're just a really quick metabolizer.
At least that means you don't have to worry about addiction.
I can drink all the coffee I want and it won't affect me. Now if I drink hot chocolate I may say good bye to sleep. Don't ask me. I never figured out why.

I once worked with writing sports news. At one point I wrote about Hidekichi Miyazaki and thought it was pretty cool that someone as old as he was could set a world record. Even if the record was just for his age group. And even if there aren't too many others competing in the age group 105 years or older.
My son started after school care today. I was at home with his sister (because I had a day off as compensation for extra hours) when the person in charge called me. I almost had a heart attack because I thought he'd had a meltdown on his first day already, but everything was fine, she had just read his diagnosis, talked to his teachers and then wanted to talk to me if there was anything else she should know about him so that he'd feel safe and welcome and that she'd know how to address his needs. ?
As someone who has been suffering depression for the last three years, I take any fleeting moment of joy I can. While I can't be 100% sure about BG3 until I play it I can be 100% sure that I would enjoy having the upcoming Minsc and Boo Pop Figure. Yes it's finally happening.
What makes me happy lately, despite the depression, is a lot of thing in the world are going well. It doesn't reach the media, as the media focusses on the negative, because that's what triggers us to read on, but the Swedish doctor Hans Rosling (who has alas deceased), has devoted his life to pointing people at the statistics about poverty, healthcare, education in this world and has shown that severe poverty is a lot less than it used to be, 80-90% of all children in the world (including girls) have at least primal education, almost everyone has access to vaccination and lots of more facts about improvement. There's a lot to be done yet, but a lot also has already be done. He's most famous for this youtube video with his TED talk, but he and his son and daughter-in-law created the site Gapminder to create awareness about this rising trend of lessening poverty and deprivation, so that we may have hope.
Now that I wrote this, I realise this might come across as a spam post, but it helped me this year, to realise I might be seeing the world too bleak. What helped me too is to stop reading the news. I most always get cortisol spikes and feel bad when I log out of hotmail and see the msn page with news flashes that tempt to click on, after which you see links with more things that are going bad.
Mind, I'm still tired of life, but it's good to know from facts that not everything in the world is black.
Today is Friday 13th, which is considered unlucky in Germany, and in several other countries as well.
My parents got married on a Friday 13th (edit: September, too. That's why I wrote it). Maybe because there was no other date available, maybe because of my father's odd sense of humor.
That was 45 years ago, and they're still happy together, with all the ups and downs that life with four children had in store for them, including some serious illnesses, losing a house to debts, and some pretty serious disagreements.
@jonesr65: That would actually be an awesome day to have a wedding. The bride and groom could shout out "APRIL FOOLS!" just as the priest is pronouncing them husband and wife, and then they dash off the stage with no explanation while flipping off the audience.
That reminds me of a funny story that occurred to a good friend of mine. It was his wedding day, and his wife and him were getting married in a church not 15 minutes from their home. Well, in walks one of the other groomsmen, the very image of distress. He related that he had forgotten his tie (we were to have matching ties). "No problem!" responded the groom, "I'll just run home and grab a spare I have there."
Now, as this is all going down in the early preparatory stages of the nuptial event, my friend's soon-to-be wife was wistfully staring out the window as some friend was doing her hair. She was at that time treated to the image of her soon-to-be husband running at a decent clip into his car and driving off at a high rate of speed.
Eventually the misunderstanding was cleared up and we did have the wedding after she calmed down after several frantic phone calls.
My mother doesn't have anything serious. All the checks, including a CT scan, were okay. She has to stay under observation, but at least there's nothing serious. She probably just fainted because of her antihypertensive meds and never drinking enough water.
Still, after two or three close calls in the last years, we're a bit nervous. And fainting can have serious consequences, too, especially since she's taking anticoagulants.
It's difficult to accept when parents get older.
Anyway, I'm happy she's okay for now.
So, as some of you might have read in other threads I met an amazing human being while working in Brazil back in June. We've traveled to meet eachother again a few times and she just left Sweden a few hours ago. I'm flying these days! I was seriously depressed for a while in the beginning of the year after a pretty hard separation the year before with massive financial and other complications that took forever to untangle. This woman has brought back color in my life, happiness, smiles, warm hugs, a thousand kisses every day and to make her happy makes me so happy. I spoiled her as much as I could these last 6 days and it was so incredible to take her to a spa and teaching her to swim a little and not be afraid of water. To see her eyes sparkle with joy as she swam a full round around the pool melted my heart into butterflies, hearts and flowers. We finished the trip by taking the decision now after around 5 months of being together (but only in the same location for about 4 weeks in that time) that she will begin her preparations to move here and live with me in my town! I'm so happy I could literally explode, but I'm not a patient man and the next 6 months or so that we'll need to finish all practicalities will be tough!
I became a father one month back. And it feels so good! I always wanted to have children and thought of it beeing awesome but as soon as you have a child it is even better than what you thought it will be ?. I love to hold my son in my arms, hear his breath look in his eyes, singing for him. Its amazing to see this little beeing which is a part of me and my wife growing up. Even though it is only a months the changes are visible! He starts smiling slowly and is looking at everything next to him with so much interest! Well I am so happy that I wanted to share this.
