I’ve found the server that is just right for me.

I’d been a member of it for months, but I only recently began interacting with other people on it.

It’s a Supernatural server dedicated to two things: good discourse about the show and great fun.

I didn’t know that I would fit in to a server as well as I did until I began chatting on it, making friends that would follow me elsewhere to other social media platforms (such as Twitter), and immersing myself in a group of people that I fundamentally had a lot of things in common with. Admittedly, due to migraine medications my nuance about the show is a bit rusty — it’s also harder for me to come up with some of the words that I want to use, that I would otherwise have used, so I’ve stuck to the mainchat in the server (and the “salt chat”, which is a particular favorite of mine) and made it clear to anyone who might be curious that before I get into more detailed conversation, I need to be able to find the words that I would want to use better first. That may come with time, being on Gabapentin for as long as I have been, or I may continue to be at the level that I am now… which isn’t totally undesirable because, as I always say, “it could be worse”.

I don’t have to worry about “being too much of a fangirl of the show” on this server, though.

This server encourages discourse on the show from nearly all walks (and all “ships”) as long as it is kept civil.

I was known as the “Heller secretary”, and now I am the “office manager”, an adorably hilarious upgrade.

I need to come up with better subject lines.

I need my optometrist to… do whatever it is that they have to do to continue seeing me as a patient, because apparently the whole thing changed hands and they have to recertify with each of the major insurance providers that they had formerly certified with, or however you actually word that. I’ve been meaning to get my eyes tested for months, but this has been the one monkey wrench in the plan. I’m pretty sure that I am no longer seeing 20/20 with my glasses, finding it more difficult to see what’s on my computer screen and having to squint at it with glasses on some of the time. And I’m not even on prednisone right now, either!

I’m still waiting to hear back on whether or not my insurance has approved Botox treatments for my migraines, or even steroid shots since my new diagnosis will allow those. But since my last visit with my pain management clinic was a TeleHealth consult because of the severe winter storms that hit around here at this time last month, I… don’t exactly have the highest of hopes that this will come through before I’m actually the skeleton from the skeleton meme. I would have asked about it then, but it was the nurse practitioner who did the TeleHealth consult with me, and she has to consult with the doctor before she can make any changes to my treatment plan… or sometimes even answer a whole lot of in-depth questions that she may not initially, or originally, have the answers to. So I’m content, or as content as I can be, to wait until my next visit to inquire about that. Ideally, I am approved for both of them and we just go on from there…
