like I am not callie's human, even a little bit, she only lays on David and only when he's stretched out in the floor. she just perches on his chest like a little one-eyed sphinx. I don't know how I got chosen this morning but I did. she didn't even make biscuits that bad (callie biscuits are flesh-rending, even through clothes).

and one of her contemplating whether or not she should trap me on the sofa for the foreseeable future

(That's what's frustrating me on her behalf; the weakness isn't from the chemo, it's from the sedation when she had e. coli. without the e. coli she'd be if not in fighting shape, then at least in Severe Reprimand shape) (not that that's ever stopped Sam from Severely Reprimanding someone if they needed it)

getting her back there means keeping her insurance active. the next $570 payment is due on January 18th. the GFM is sitting at $1078/$17000, which isn't nothing but it's not where we need to be. donating, sharing, boosting, whatever you can do helps tremendously and we appreciate it so much.

my partner was in the hospital earlier in the week for five bags of good new blood, and came out with a handful of prescriptions. most of them we've been able to get, but one is $70 even with a GoodRx coupon, and his check will be short due to being out of work for three days. so if anybody can help us towards getting this last prescription we'd appreciate it so, so much.

$0/$70

Kiddo starts school 8/1. One of her diabetes supplies, called a Gvoke*, is Awaiting Prior Authorization, and once we get it it's gonna cost ~$90. We have to refill her insulin as well, and that's another $75**.

My partner has secured a new job, but a. it doesn't start for two weeks and 2. we don't know yet what his wage will be. IN ADDITION he is back in the hospital due to complications from his LAST hospital visit, bc that carousel just goes around and around.

So we are asking for help getting us over this little medical hurdle. We were hoping the Gvoke would get approved before the end of the month, but [gestures at insurance companies]. I do not have the words or the emotional fortitude to explain what these past two years have done to me, but I know I would not have survived it without y'all's generosity. Love and appreciate every single one of you. 💙

*it's like an epipen but for glucose

as a result I have accomplished almost NOTHING that I said I would. I need to close my redbubble, bc fuck whatever they've got going on, but also the idea is terrifying bc it really is my main source of income. I'm trying to get stuff done with my cricut to replace it but it's acting like it's got no sense (it doesn't) and I haven't been able to fight with it. I need to write, bc I always need to be writing. but I also need to rest and heal bc if I don't I'll just fall even harder on my face later on. while being a parent. and summer vacation's in like a month.

anyway. it's 3am and I'm awake bc I slept all day. have this kitty variety platter.
