    Somewhere between here and there
    I’ve used 60-70% vg for a long time but have noticed more phlegm lately and been thinking about raising my pg level. Maybe I’ll try 50/50 next time I mix base.

    I got out two more sft to try. Glazed donut I think from FC and cap strawberries and cream. Not impressed with the glazed at 4%. The strawberry and cream at 6% is ok but the flavor doesn’t really stand out or have much of a mouth feel.

    I've gone back to the old 80/20 due to phlegm/chesty stuff from heavy VG
    I was mixing 50/50 for a while and got really yucky.

    I'm all bleary now. I talked to my sis. She was very sweet. Her advice was, "Yeah, it sounds like a total mess, she is probably a complete idiot but at this moment, say nothing, do nothing, don't go emailing anyone, this whole thing may go away. If it doesn't then you can worry about a lawyer."

    I did review the policies that twit cited and none of them APPLY to me. Like, at my job each policy lists who needs to know it and I am on none of them. Also, I read my rights as a patient and one of them is "to obtain lab work for review by an independent doctor."

    LOL my pdoc is magical sometimes, he cited my FMLA as "An acute stress response to a stressor coupled with ongoing thyroid issues." He circled every TSH. IDK how he knew to do that but he did.

    Yeah, my sis was like, "Um, write up a time line when you can, print emails etc." You can decide to sue someone later if you want to, but yeah, just CHILL."

    I asked if I could politely cite my last email as part of an acute stress reaction, and have read the policies she cited and could she please inform me when the investigation is closed unless further participation is needed." She was like, "That's fine."

    I bet being a lawyer is totally taxing at times.

    She's the best. When I called she was all like "I'm out marathon training right now I will call you when I get home." She has two of the best kiddos and she works for a 9th circuit judge.

    Sometimes I look at her darkly and go, (LOL she is bipolar II, very mildly) "Birth order sucks that could of been ME." She actually QUIT smoking, dude. She just up and quit. LOL.

    Of course, lawyers and marathons are two things I hate. So there is that. Also her husband is so nice, she once had to go to therapy, "Because he's too nice, I don't know if I can respect it." LOL.

    I would DEFINITELY have issues with that. She also saw my mom plan my first wedding, and she ELOPED. That was the dopest thing my sis has ever DONE. She called on her honeymoon and was like, "Mom, I ELOPED. Oh, also, I'm pregnant. We decided not to wait."

    LOL my mom was like "I will NEVER forgive you. Also, YOU are an IDIOT for getting pregnant so soon."

    Heh. Everything "bad" I do to my mom I get to say, "I got married TWICE mom and you attended BOTH ceremonies."

    So quiet in here lately. Well,first of the week is upcoming which means I have to move my .... to mix. I should have dug the rest of the recipes I need out today but hopefully they are sitting in my binder. As time gets closer I feel less like mixing but I really need to get my life back in some kind of order. Maybe I’m just tired.

    Dude Fran I'm tired too. And nobody freaking DIED.I think you get to be tired.

    I would liven things up to mix, but I poured out a little VG into a container to see if it made shaving easier (I think it does! It could be an artifact though because like, I was paying way closer attention than I usually do, and I used a razor.)

    But lifting the container was exhausting. Like a LOT.

    Anna

    ETA a NEW razor. I always use a razor. Except the one time I tried to wax. That was a disaster.

    Your recent trip would have worn me out, @FranC. Plus you're grieving for Tigger. That's tiring, too.
    OMG. I thought I was crippled for about 4 days after that trip.:lol: Yes,it’s been a rough year in general but I’m trying hard for some semblance of normal with hopefully a bit of happy. I know these things take time but I’m the impatient sort.
