Grim, RN

But I’d need financial assistance to move internationally and I don’t want to have to find homes for my cats. They are older now and I don’t want to not be able to have them.

Ireland had a change in their laws recently and you no longer have to repeat nursing school to become a nurse there, you have to take boards, which makes it a more reasonable situation.

The thought of leaving Colorado is difficult because I don’t want to go somewhere that doesn’t have much of a social net. I know our social nets are being withered away.

And yes, I have thought about Canada and Ireland. I’ve thought about a lot of places.

I really want to move back East. I want to be within a day’s drive of my sister. I’m looking at New York, Southern Illinois, New England. My sister lives in a bright red state so I don’t want to live there. I would like to be near the only family member I have.

It really does.

I’ve been told “you’ll know” if it’s different but honestly, when my blood pressure and heart rate went up (it was around 225/130 and a heart rate of 175 for hours). I felt terrified the entire time.

It’s a horrible reminder, since I just turned 49, that my biological grandfather died of a heart attack in his early 50’s and about 20 years ago, my father had a quadruple bypass.

And I have chronic chest pain.

So yeah, back in the Spring, my blood pressure shot up. It’s always been normal, but it’s been really bad. I’ve had a lot of appointments and after three months, I have a medication to take. Another fucking pill.

This is so weird because I also have been very close to a POTS diagnosis.

It’s not as good as I thought but at least it’s something I don’t have to pay.

Sadly it’s NOT the ER bills, but it is about $200 that I don’t have to pay. I still have $3000 in ER bills to pay.

All I can think is I DID request assistance for mental health and loneliness. Because I am incredibly lonely.

This is just unexpected. And a relief.

I got a letter from my insurance company stating that I qualify for financial assistance and that my current bills, including the ER trips, have been covered at 100%.

I didn’t apply for this. I’ve been struggling to pay for those trips, for the concussion & then for the hypertensive crisis I had.

Happy Friday! Thanks to y'alls help, we're just $758 shy of covering November bills. It would be such relief to be secure for this month before the next one is on us. Please keep sharing, it's a big help! Thank you so much!!

It’s been YEARS since most of us have done anything but laugh at Shaun King. He’s got to be paying based solely on demographics.

Before I saw your name I was already rolling my eyes hard enough my head ached a little bit.

Or maybe when I see that guy, it gives me a headache, like large amounts of overly powerful cologne.

Understandable.

$50 RECEIVED! STILL NEED $200 TONIGHT TO KEEP MY PHONE/INTERNET ON! linktr.ee/jskylerinc

NOTHING NEW RECEIVED AS OF 7PM 🕖

I am so glad!

I feel like he watched The Hinger Games: Catching Fire and the only thing he took away was Effie saying “gold.”

Last night.

Scene: A nurse’s station - in the milieu, just before smoke break

My work bestie: you got any of those sexy cookies?

Me: Of course I do.

When the folks went out, we had a cookie break together.

Then smoke break ended & chaos resumed.

I have an Uncrustable wrapped in a h heated blankent. Can’t wait to be devouring this perfectly defrosted but with a little chilly jelly.

Tonight I offered a my work bestie one of these and she looked at me like …..

You could have cut the tension with a knife. She gave me this sultry look like she was going to seduce the cookies out of me.

No need, friend, the cookie is yours.

How godly of them.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! It's November 11th, and y'all have helped get us down to $1473 left to cover this month's bills. Thank you all!

I know y'all may be tired of seeing the ask, but we have to keep trying. I am doing my best to recover from this most recent loss, but I can't do it alone.

I’m not a registered Democrat but at this point I’m backing mostly Democrats. I agree with you. 2026 is going to be a long year.

Can I sign up for night shift?

I’m fucking crying in my car before I go home. I just need to get it out.

I just.. I am good at my job but every environment I have worked at has been toxic in some way for 22 years.

I try to not work on my birthday so people won’t die on my birthday, so I don’t get punched on assaulted on my birthday. I just want to be in peace.. today & on 3 other days of the year.

I tried to get the 8th off but I did the request wrong and they just.. didn’t tell me.

So I had to work because you can’t call in if you requested it off.

And most of this was done with the Addams Family Theme song in the back ground because also This is PSYCH.
