Since I don’t want to forget to write here…

I was able to get in with the psychiatrist that my primary care doctor wanted to refer me to on Friday, and I was switched from nortryptline to Lexapro. For some reason, even taking it precisely as I had been told to, I got a fever the first two days. I know that I’m not taking it with anything else that contains serotonin modulators, or even medications that same day that do that. So I guess this is just something that I’m going to have to ride out for a week, and if it doesn’t improve talk to my psychiatrist or his nurse over the phone about whether or not I need to be changed to another medication. I do hope that this one works though!

Meanwhile, I got the kids a desktop that they should be able to use to do everything that they could ever want to do! It’s going to be worth the piece of mind of never having to crack into this thing… well, not unless I’m maxing the RAM out on it supposing that it isn’t already maxed, I’ll need to check on that. I think that’s all I’m going to have to do with this thing. It will game, it will stream, it will run everything that we could ever want or need a desktop for. It’s a shame that the All-in-One couldn’t, but it is what it is. Thanks, Manchin.

I have a functioning chair now, thank goodness!

I didn’t know that we had managed to amass a whole bunch of Steam point with years worth of purchases, so I went ahead and used some of those. If only you could use them to buy more games, though… I had amassed a lot of them over the years making purchases for Bub, and I didn’t stop to think about using them until I read an article that mentioned them and then I was like “ah, maybe I should check”. Sure enough…

I’m still scouting out MMOs that Bub might enjoy playing with me and have narrowed down the list a little.

We now have a gaming and streaming desk!

Even though our washer… continues not to work as it should (and the decision is soon going to have to be made whether to try to replace individual parts in the hope that we’re able to figure out, and replace, what caused it to stop working, or just get a completely different one), our gaming and streaming desk is now put together. All I have to do is reorganize the wires at the back of the desk a bit better than they are and I think I’ve got everything on it that I need to have on it, let alone satisfactorily. And then there’s the more minor issue of making sure that the desktop is completely loaded, because although it is still impressively fast it won’t load the most recent version of Windows on it, and there are certain things that I’ve been able to get this one to do or load onto this one when it ran the previous version of Windows that… wait for it, that one gives me grief on, even though they are roughly comparable. I suppose I’ll find out the majority of it later…

Knowing us, in the interim we’ll probably have to buy a new washer though. This thing seems like it’s kaput.
