bobcatmoranI've been slammed by something unpleasant, and am on day four of staying home from work because my body has decided it doesn't want to do the whole "upright" thing for more than about fifteen minutes at a time. I finally got worried enough yesterday to go to the doctor, and they're supposed to be calling me today or tomorrow with the test results. Hopefully it's something minor and easily treatable.
Or, as the doctor mentioned as a possibility, it could just be stress brought on by the fact that my sister's going through a major life change, my stepmom is being the absolute opposite of helpful, and I'm stuck halfway across the country. I've literally gotten three phonecalls from my stepmom in the last week and a half, which is three more than I can expect in any given time period, each one supposedly about something else but always devolving to her basically trying to bait me into saying, "Oh, yes, how could she, I just don't understand it at all, I don't know where this came from and clearly this was an irresponsible decision on [younger sister]'s part, how terrible this must be for you." Instead, I'm pointing out that my sister is, in fact, a grown woman fully capable of making her own life choices, that I support her fully, and if you truly do "just want her to be happy" (a phrase I've heard way too many times during these phone calls), you wouldn't ask her to follow a path that can only lead to unhappiness. Argh.
