Happy 16th birthday to my Finn Furr (it was actually yesterday) sweet 16!!!! He’s holding up his end of the bargain we made. (He’s gotta live til at least 20). I can’t believe it’s been almost 16 years that he’s been in my life. Mama loves you monster man 🥰🥰🥰

Quiet cracking? Nah mother fucker. I’m loudly cracking, and I’m about to jump off a goddamn bridge. (Not really, can’t leave my Finn behind)

🤞🏻 that something comes of it, and that I get out of my department. (I really just wanna get out of healthcare tbh)

Thank god my PCP is refilling all of my psych meds. I also told him about how bad I’m managing life… he’s upping my Lexapro… which… I’m not happy about, but I need to be able to function.

He’s also going to reach out to his practice manager and let her know that I’d be a great fit for his team.

Dad’s okay, he’s got no service up at the top of a mountain right now. But I heard his voice. So I know he’s alive.

No answer. Phone goes straight to voicemail. 🫠🫠🫠

⛈️ 𝕄𝕖𝕝 ⛈️ @raneyday.bsky.social · 6d

Alright, the plan is as follows:
9AM Chicago time, call dad.
If no answer by 10AM then I’m texting his gf.
If neither responds, by noon, I’m texting my cousin who lives in NC to see what he could do.

This isn’t like my dad. He hasn’t even read my text from yesterday…

Not me panicking on a Sunday morning because my dad hasn’t responded to any of my messages in the last day… he told me he was going to Nashville… why is he in Asheville… and his phone is off… my panicked mind is saying his stupid gf killed him and is on the run.

I think this is by far one of my favorite photos of Finn and I 🖤🖤🖤🖤

⛈️ 𝕄𝕖𝕝 ⛈️ @raneyday.bsky.social · 6d

The probability is that I misheard him, and he’s supposed to be in Asheville. Idk.

Attack yesterday. I held on as best I could and for as long as I could. But by 3:05… I cracked. I broke. I feel so depleted. I am so fucking ready for the weekend… thank god today’s my half day and I’m off at 12:45 today.

Cmon 12:45 mama needs a break!!!

Yesterday was the WORST day I’ve had at my job since i started in December. We had 200 patients, and I was alone from 1:45-3. I couldn’t get up to pee, I didn’t have a second to rest, once I got the line down, the line just built back up.

I am so fucking tired. I had a hyperventilating panic—

Cuz my migraines are coming back… 2 in 2 weeks. It’s a far cry from when I was having 5 migraines a week in 2014… but I don’t want to be back at that point again. Wish me luck // end.

Week. So I scheduled an appointment with my PCP for next Thursday, I’m gonna ask if he can refill my meds for me (for at least a month) and see if I can also get a referral for my office to see my doctors (cuz I’m getting daily headaches) and seeing if I can get a new prescription for migraine meds

So I had to cancel my appointment with my psychiatrist because I don’t have enough money for the appointment. (I pay out of pocket for her because she doesn’t accept my insurance, and my insurance doesn’t accept her because she doesn’t work for my hospital) I’m going to be out of my medications next
