Fucking planes, helicopters and freeway noise. It truly never does end.

Tom did some research on different drug companies and I guess there are three. Lannett and Mylan are the ones that are “laced” with anxiety. I just hope to hell that it’s been a brand issue causing most of my anxiety and that I really am finally onto solving the mystery of why I get anxious at times.

Today I wasn’t calm but I wasn’t anxious either. I understand there are other things that could cause it. After all, I’m still half a year away from official menopause. I’m also still hot flashing at times, so if I could have that symptom of menopause, why not others like anxiety? I just hope the non-Sandoz brands were causing most of it but only time will tell. If it was, then I just gotta hope I can always get Sandoz easily enough and that they too, don’t go sprinkling anxiety in their meds as well.

I’m going back and forth in my mind between being hopeful and excited at the thought of being able to tell Dr. A when I see her about the brand issues and celebrating hitting menopause around that time, but then I’m reminded of how this sounds way too good to be true and just how unlucky I often am. Especially with this. Every time I think I’ve got it figured out, I realize I don’t have a damn clue.

I’m going to get anxious again sooner or later. I’m going to get another period. Right? :( That’s just me…horribly unlucky.

Read a thing that said abortions are at an all-time low. Could be cuz it’s becoming practically illegal but I think it’s mostly due to better BC and more women and men getting fixed. We’ve been living in career-obsessed times since the 90s and I know the birth rate has been consistently dropping. That’s why I’m surprised there are many abortion protestors. They make me sick and not just for trying to control a woman’s life/body. They just make no sense. They want her to work but not to have to take time off for the kid they said she had to have???

The pigs are so funny because they sometimes go off when they hear Tom pull in. The carport runs along the living room wall in which the cage is on so he pulls in just a few feet away.

Excited to be ordering the new guinea pig cage we’ve had our eye on for a while now that has three different sizes. We’re going to get the extra-large which will be a little longer but not quite as deep as the cage we have. Once the pigs move out, I’m sure the rats will be thrilled to have both levels of this cage since they’re climbers. They can also have fun climbing on top of the pigs’ new cage when we get it and they’re living in it. This one is going to sit right on the floor. It isn’t raised like this cage is. It’s something like 47 x 22 whereas this cage is 36 x 24. The cage we’re getting is only a couple of feet tall but this one is probably close to 6 feet tall. Or maybe about 5 feet 5 in. It’s definitely taller than me. Definitely much more suitable for rats, too.

One of the things I like about this new cage is that it’s got a higher base. The base is 7.5 in, which will make it harder for the pigs to kick things out. It comes with its own hideaway, secure dish, water bottle, and hay feeder.

Then there’s the metallic rainbow tumbler I just have to have, along with this fish sticker for the bottom of our large tub. Should go well with the fish sticker on the floor.

I was dismayed to see Aly mention Ask on her other Twitter account but then glad to see she deleted that tweet. The last thing I want is for her to encourage Molly to join. I don’t know if I could say I resent her and her mother as much as I used to but I definitely don’t want to be buddies with her either.
