Oh, Sail. I forgot to send head~ma for you!

Also, email~ma for Sparky. Vibing for the response you want, babe.

Are you going to the Deb thing tonight, BTW?

That's the plan. However, Scott and I both woke up under the weather, so unfortunately we're stuck on wait-and-see status. We're not sick as dogs, but right now, we're not up to sitting through a reading, either. And I am pissed, because I already can't go to the party, tomorrow.

Are you and Tom going?

Back update: have gotten xrays, an appointment with a orthopedic doctor, and a nutritionist, because it surely can't hurt my knees and back to take off some weight. That was the NP's assessment, which I agree with (have been thinking that for a bit anyway).

She's probably right, but I still find that frustrating, because it's not something you can do, overnight. FIX ME NOW, dammit!

As for the rash, try some corn starch (I suggest food quality corn starch). Dry yourself off ridiculously well after your showers, and then apply it as a dusting powder. Put some on whenever you change, and go to bed, too. Give it a couple of days. If it doesn't work, you can try an OTC anti-yeast/anti-fungal cream.

I actually used corn starch this morning. And yeah, I'm suspecting that I'll need to use an antifungal cream. Which is icky if I think about it too long (not the cream; the idea that I have fungus trying to set up camp).

Either way, try not to use any soap with scent for a while.

You know, I'm not sure I actually *own* any unscented soap. Seriously.

Try to get clean and dry quickly, after you get sweaty. If you're wearing your bra too often, wear it less. If you're going braless a lot at home, wear a bra. Change your bra when you get home from work, etc.

I'm actually not wearing a bra today, which is unheard of, at least at work. But I'm wearing a loose thick velour shirt, with a thin cotton tank top underneath it (in the hopes of minimizing/hiding the nips).

Grumble. I dislike being seen by the world of fungus as a good place to settle down and make a home.

head~ma for you

She said head. Heheheh.

Nora, sounds like a plan. May it give you much relief.

Nora, I hope you find relief for your back pain soon.

I think he needs a new definition of "prank" tattooed to his forehead. That's not a prank, that's a killing offense.

We negotiated on the terms for my allowing him to live. I think it was something like he had to fetch me Starbucks one day a week for four weeks and take me to lunch a few times.

Sail, since you mentioned dreary rain, the headache might be from the weather fluctuations. I'm prone to nasty sinus headaches when we get crazy temperature fluctuations. Like now, because yesterday we had a blizzard and today is supposed to be sunny and 60 degress outside.

Good news ~ma, Sparky!

---

I like to give multipurpose ~ma when I can.

What?

{{{Nora's back}}} Back pain sucks.

As does fungus. Sorry, Tep. Did it just start today?

Are you and Tom going?

Dang, I hope things clear up... because I will be there (not Tom though)

---

Yesterday(ish).

Nora, are you taking anything other than ibuprofen for your back?

What with the Lutherans in the sink, I'm hoping this isn't a bunch of Counter-Reformationists setting up in challenge.
