I'm struggling with whether to just let this space go or revive it. I only blog once every couple of months, sometimes three times in one week but then it goes back to the wayside and I move on with my life of watching Hallmark movies and ignoring the interwebs.
So. Since November things have not been good. That's the long and the short of it. December I ignored life and powered through the holidays. January I melted down a bunch. February I went on FMLA to try to keep myself together. March brought a couple more meds changes and here I sit in April, knowing my meds will change again on Friday and not knowing exactly how to handle it. the medicine in question will cost me $700 a month, and I'm sorry but my mental health is not worth $700 a month, especially on top of $80 a week doctor appointments to various doctors and gee wiz, when do things get better?
I got to the office two days in a row this week, so hallelujah.
Work is really working with me, and I'm doing much better there. I thought I needed to quit a couple times, but things are getting slowly better.
My biggest issue right now, aside from the depression and anxiety that rule over my life, is that as a side effect I'm a) putting on weight and b) I'm tired ALL THE TIME.
I've started taking a bunch of vitamins hoping to help the tired thing but right this very second I'm certain I'll nod off.

A very important topic
So here's the thing. I haven't blogged since November, and the first thing to strike my fancy to blog about is EGGS.
I love eggs. I pretty much will eat them any way possible, but also I hard boil a dozen every week and I take two for breakfast at work and occasionally will snack on a lone one when I want to eat and shouldn't really be eating anything because eating is my crutch. I used to not be able to hard boil eggs and it was very sad and I bought a bag of pre-cooked eggs every week because can't get enough of them, even if I can't make them. But then came the Instant Pot, and seriously I'd buy it again if it broke because it is my savior for HB eggs.
The thing is, though, it's still a temperamental thing to make. My method is 6 minutes steam, quick release, ice bath and peel. All immediate. If I accidentally forget about them and they natural release, the yolk is overcooked and green. If I forget about them after the ice bath and they aren't shocked enough, the shells don't come off as easy. I basically have to stay in the kitchen from the time they come to pressure to finished product. Which, I can do. I can clean it or rewash whatever dishes my husband tried to wash (they'll still be greasy in the drainer), pick up the kids' desk, clean out the fridge. For 10 minutes every week I'm a prisoner in my kitchen.
Worth it.
