I'm gonna kill my mom.

She needs a blood test. She has decided not to wait for me to get home to take her. She is taking herself over to the hospital to get it done. She sounds so damn out of breath from just coming downstairs, I can't see her driving and walking to the lab, getting the test, walking back and driving home.

Who wants to take bets on whether they see the shape she is in and try to admit her again.

Oh, Suzi. I'm so sorry.

That's must be hard on your nerves, Suzi. Can you convince her to take a cab, at least?

Suzi, write this stuff down on a piece of paper, with a reminder that you *will not* do this kind of stuff to K-Bug.

Unfortunately, that may be all you can do right now. Sorry, hon.

Allergies hit me maybe once every three years or so. I guess whatever I'm allergic to here in Colorado doesn't have the opportunity to bloom each and every year. But I'm VERY thankful that that seems to be my only issue with allergies. For now, anyway.

Gorgeous day here today. Thinking of taking a nice walk at lunch. I wonder if I need to put on sunscreen...

I'd accuse you of being a taunter, Nicole, except...well, I just might join you on that walk. We're expecting a high of 60 today, whee! It's finally starting to feel like spring around here.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!!!

I just found out my therapist's wife is pregnant with triplets. He's quite nervous about it but also excited. They have a 2 year old already.

Happy Birthday to Stephanie!

It has snowed in April before. in fact mid april , in fact on my birthday - april 18th.

I've seen snow on Memorial Day weekend. Which is really, truly wrong in all the wrong ways.

I've seen it snow. One time in Big Bear. Signed, Born and Raised in San Diego.

I'm having such a bad allergy day today. I've got a physical next week and I'm gonna beg my doc for a new allergy med and/or a referral to the allergist. Sudafed and Claritin just aren't doing the trick any more. I'd like to try acupucture, but it's unfortunately 'spensive.

So, I've got a stretch from last Thusday 'til next Monday where I don't have a single night off, with work or Ren Faire all day, every day. I'm already exhausted, and I'm only halfway through.

hey Birthday twin !

So, a Happy Birthday is in order for beth b, too? Many joyous returns!

My PCP is out of the hospital till the 19th. I'm scared I'm having another flare-up. Now what am I supposed to do?

I know how much you like your PCP, vw, but someone is covering for her. Call, tell the office your concerns, insist on seeing that someone. Remind them that yours is a complex case, and that whoever is taking the PCP's patients should READ YOUR FILE before you get there. When you have the name of the person who is covering, you might also give a call to your second favorite doctor, and have them call the sub, to tell them about the issues. I'm assuming that doctors find it harder to ignore other doctors than patients.
