I'm up way too early, and quite nervous and tense. Nothing specific, but I worry about S a lot these days. It makes it difficult to sleep.

Also, I'm worried about leaving her alone today to work for a few hours. Everything should be fine, but I'm still worried.

{{{Sean}}} Is there a neighbor or someone who could look in while you're gone?

Don't know. I've been wracking my brain to think of someone, but I'm coming up short right now.

Killing time 'till my wife finishes her video game so we can go drink wine and watch The Avengers. (Original, not the awful movie.)

Oooh! Cathy, Emma, Tara or Patsy Purdy?

She has 4 grandsons, and I think she's getting bored with boys.

This is DH's mom too. She has boxes of girly stuff for the granddaughter she has decided my SIL must have. Pressure much. SIL just rolls her eyes. She is not in any hurry to produce any grandchild.

{{Seany}} Yay for cell phones.

Scary storm stuff Andi. Yikes. Looks like a hurricane is happening next week. At my sibling's side of the state anyway. We'll see. No basements anywhere around here though. I think if I dig 10" in my yard I'd hit water.

sj - have a relaxing weekend. I was never able to take BCPs. They made me very depressed. This was decades ago though and I know they have a number of options now.

I was fine with ortho-lo, but they put me on Seasonale because my iron has been so low and with Seasonale you only get 4 periods a year. I expressed concern because when I was on regular ortho tricyclen, I was bug fuck insane, but he seemed unconcerned. Looks like once again I know my body better than the doctors.

You would think they would figure that out.

I am off to Miami to train people. Later.....

I totally skipped (I'm about to teach class) just to tell JZ and Hec they were in my dreams last night. I'm exhausted -- we were up all night (with other friends of mine) killing hordes of zombies!!!!

Even on the newest superlow-dose pills, I used to get unbelievable mood swings from BCPs. (And I was on them for so long I didn't even realize how shitty they were making me feel until I stopped taking them -- it was like lifting a curtain of low-grade pissiness and nausea.)

{{sj}}, mine did the same to me. Doctor made me stick it out through three months of hell, only to take me off it at the end and be totally back to normal. SO PISSED.

throws around some -ma and brackets for everyone

Sometimes, "football country" makes me cranky.
