Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Robin - the same thing happened to me when I first started (to my best estimation) perimenopause. It lasted somewhere between 6 months and a year where they were totally unpredictable, except that I had to make sure I had coverage all the time. Things did go back to normal, more-or-less, after a while. I don't know if it will be the same for you, so I'd still do what others have suggested and call your doctor. But, that's part of the problem with perimenopause, there is no set schedule of: you can expect X to happen first, you can expect Y to happen second or how long each phase is going to last. I just know that I will be very, very happy when I reach full menopause.

Robin, soaking through once an hour was exactly the criteria I was given for suspecting hemorrhage and going to the ER when I was having bleeding issues. It may be a normal development, but that's a lot of blood. At least call someone.

Huh. Good to know! (That's not how S does it. I think I may have to lecture her in my head the next time she dices onions).

Thanks, Aims!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Mine, alas, was a Compaq as well. Must go shower. God, two more days...
Oh, really? Maybe mine was an IBM. Way to know you're computer, Val!

Nope, you're both right. There's a Compaq Presario (small silver oval on the middle of the cover, about twice as thick as the other computer; and, there's a Compaq Evo with a big grey strip along the edge. And vw, this isn't really sympathy for you (you know you are getting it in boatloads) but I'm chuckling over the thought of the eventual commupance that your landlords will be getting. Simply delicious.

~ma to Robin.

Motherfuckingsomebodies are drilling in the road outside my window. My nerves are already frelled today. This is not helping things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Robin, doctor. And feel better too.

the number of people that don't return them on time is huge

If it's huge and consistent, bake it into the business process. Hopefully you only get busted if there's an exceptional number of people hanging onto their trucks that day.

My god, my head hurts. I usually nap in my car before getting out at work, but today it was a mandatory lie down. And I have a cough, and each time I do it, it makes it hurt worse.

I think Sail definitely should get a lollipop.

Sears used to have pretty good sales on eye exams and frames pretty frequently. I got glasses there for years when I had no insurance.

My mom's eye doctor advises her to pick up the reading glasses they sell at the drug store rather than getting yet another prescription - as long as they are the right power, they're fine. YReadingGlassesNeedMV

This U-Haul discussion is reminding me of the time I had to move over Halloween and went to get a truck and was told that they had exactly one available, if I could pick it up at 9 PM and have it back by 7AM. No trick or treating for me that year. But now I am retroactively grateful that I could get one at all.
