Eddie, I don't think throwing more cats at the keyboard is going to help their accuracy.

I hope you find out what the deal is, Susan, and something to do about it. Random pains are no good.

Susan, FWIW, I've NEVER had any back problems before in my life. Ever since O was about 6 months, I've had constantly nagging lower back and hip pain. I'm hoping it will go away when I'm not dragging a toddler or baby around. Of course that means another couple of years for me.

I think I know why humans are more fertile when they're in their teens and 20's.

Yay! PT has an opening at 10:45.

If I'm ever a rich bestselling author, one of my minions will be a personal physical therapist.

Anyway, I hope if I can just lose weight and get in shape, this stuff will improve. And I'm working on that, albeit very gradually, since every time I try to change my entire lifestyle at once I burn out within days. It would also help to have a better, more ergonomic work space, which I can't do anything about now, but if I get a job in the next few months, a better desk for the home office is high on my list of things to buy.

Susan, in my personal experience, pregnancy, labor, and delivery are hell on the body. And toting around the baby and all his or her stuff, sends your bod to the Judas Iscariot circle of hell. And you're aging as all this goes on.

Fix~ma for the pain, Susan.

ION, hold me. I have to go shopping for a black demi lightly-lined spaghetti strap bra in either a 36C or 38B, as my favored Bra Of Doom has sprung an underwire. This model is actually fairly hard to find, and should I locate such a thing, I will buy 3 of them. I fear this will require a trip to the mall. I'm scared.

Easy shopping~ma, juliana. I do hate the bra shopping. Better, I think, to know exactly what you want, though yo are still stuck with the whole finding it and getting the right fit and all that.

It's supposed to be 85 today, so not quite hell, but hellish. Purgatory, maybe.

85 is perfect.

Honey nut cherrios: (mm, I'm hungry)

Bra shopping is easy for me. I go to Frederick's of Hollywood and get the same bra every time. They last for 1-2 years depending on useage and they are very comfortable.

Bra~ma to juliana. ('Cause it's more fun to say than "shopping~ma")

I have a doctor's appointment in a couple of hours. It's mostly a, "Hey, I haven't seen a doctor in over 2 years," kind of appointment, and a little bit of a "Why did I get two periods in three weeks and how can I avoid that in the future?" kind of appointment. [whitefonted for girly health stuff]

Being the worrier that I am, a part of me is thinking that I'll get there and the doctor will find dire problems. So, you know, if there's any minor league health~ma floating about (or possibly, "Don't be a silly git~ma") that would be appreciated.

85 is perfect.

65 is perfect, if it's sunny.
