What would you find at a Freeper garage sale?
Edited on Mon May-29-06 11:32 AM by Dangerously Amused



I'm thinking surplus duct tape and plastic sheeting, for starters.

What else...?






(Props to Giant Robot and momgonepostal for the idea:)

44. Thanks! I'm doing okay
I went to the family physician this a.m. for some bloodwork and got a referral to a pulmonary/sleep Dr. for more tests. If that doesn't pan out, I'm off to an endocrinologist, because there's got to be a physical reason for this thing, too. This afternoon I've got an intake interview for an outpatient psych program, which IIRC goes for a week or two. That should also help, I hope.

I'm going to work for a couple hours each day to keep on top of stuff and for the social/people aspect. I'm still physically exhausted, but mental stuff is better.

Thanks for asking! How are things with you? :D
