Father's day

Sorry I disappeared from this thread. Couldn't deal with thinking about Father's Day at all apparently. How is everyone doing?

@Bkinder good job on mailing the card. I hope your father sees it.

That’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me in the last 2 days! Thanks! I appreciate the positive.

Man, I don’t even know. But it’s nice to see you :)

I’ve gotten so many emails and ads for Father’s Day stuff. Didn’t even buy my graduation pictures and now can’t because they were labeled as gifts for Dad.

I’ll be happy to tell my grandpa that he’s a good dad, though. I’m trying to focus on that. My family sent him an edible arrangement

Just whining...

so yesterday my stomach got wickedly upset. And at first I thought it was just the kind of general upset that comes when you are taking antibiotics, but I was running to the bathroom a ton. I also had a lot of back pain and a massive headache. I assumed the headache was from dehydration and the back ache, well... I didn't know but I do have back problems. This morning woke up and stomach still not happy. Then I started getting a rash. Rash kept getting worse. The only reason I didn't immediately assume antibiotics for the rash is because i assumed if you were going to react it would be sooner. Everything just kept getting worse and then I started needing to clear my throat and realized I had to go to the doctor. Except it's saturday. Stopped by the little local clinic but they wanted me to go to the ER and were pretty insistent I get a friend to drive me. By the time I got there I was having a hard time talking. My breathing was fine but my throat was just so irritated. Since my breathing was ok, I didn't need epinephrine, but got other meds and was monitored. I guess I won't be taking amoxicillin anymore. :p

One of the meds I was given and am supposed to take is prednisone. Blah, the only time I was on that it made me rather crazy. I have refused to take it since. Which shows just how sh*t I feel. The rash/hives haven't gone down at all and my stomach feels miserable. Just tried eating some but ugh. And I work tomorrow and yes I am going in. I'm gonna be exhausted. This is not how I want to face father's day.

On the bright side my sinus/ear infection is gone. heh
On another bright side I have awesome friends and all the staff I deatl with were good
And a final bright side.. I don't feel like my throat/voice is raspy/tight/irritated. That part is better.

Its a difficult one..

But this year I've decided nope I'm too angry to even consider sending one.. any man can procreate but it takes a special man to be a father.

I'm sticking by my inner child this time. There's a lot of anger, often dissociated and numbed away most of the time but I'd rather choose to help me and not trigger self destructive guilt by feeling I let myself down for giving into pressure of sending a card.

I sent my card. Ended up traveling, crossing the date line and here it is an hour earlier. Realized at 9:45pm it was 10 there where my father was-called two numbers and no answer. Bro called back and “ took a message” for him. Then he called again and it was Pop... in bed. He didn’t get my card.:banghead::banghead::eek::sour::tdown::cry:
