I’m still am suffering bronchitis. I did some digging in MyChart, because I’ve suffered this bronchitis thing at least once a year for the past few years, and mine and Mr. Loomy’s suspicions were correct: the clinic doctor I saw over the weekend, who was abrupt and didn’t listen to either of us, prescribed me less than half of the dosage of prednisone that I’ve had previously. No wonder I’m not getting better. I went back to the clinic last night, and while the (different!) doctor didn’t say anything bad about what his coworker did, his facial expression made his opinion clear. I’m now on a massive dosage of prednisone that slowly tapers and antibiotics. I tapped out from work again; look, me trying to be better about self care!

If I’m going to be a sickly invalid, I want laudanum. And a trip to the seaside where someone will push me around in a fancy wheelchair. Then more laudanum.

Yesterday I turned off the Ask Anonymously option on my Tumblr. I’ve been inundated with spam, porn bots, and unkind-to-hateful messages, and I don’t have the spoons to deal with any of it.

Congratulations on winding up in the care of someone who knows what the expletive deleted he’s doing!

(And let’s not forget beef tea in crystal goblets, toast points arranged in artful rosettes, and fluffy custards. Brandy probably doesn’t mix with laudanum.)

Also, here’s another doctor to deal with your various tormentors on Tumblr:

(Image description: Silver Age Doctor Strange, aboard a passenger jet amidst unsuspecting mundanes, is fighting an epic astral battle with some malevolent spirits, ensnaring them in tangles of abjurative magic: “BY THE OMNIPOTENT OSHTUR! BY THE HOARY HOSTS OF HOGGOTH! IN THE NAME OF THE ETERNAL VISHANTI! BEGONE! RETURN TO THE NOTHINGNESS FROM WHENCE YOU HAVE COME!”)
