It's very white out there. It's also 21 degrees. At 9:15 in the morning.There is frozen stuff on the grass. The weather gods are still angry. Someone sacrifice a Canadian! Or bribe them to keep their cold. Either.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Many many vibes for Kristin & Drew. (viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibes)
I have an annoying cramp that won't go away. It feels like a stitch, except I (obviously) haven't been jogging recently. According to the internets, it's probably just my round ligaments adjusting themselves, but damn, it's irritating. All my errands will have to be done at half-speed today.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What is with the nightmares last night? I dreamt I drove my car off an embankment into the ocean.
ION my glee at last night's discovery of yahoo messenger capabilities on my phone is now matched by my despair at discovering you have to sign out, you can't just exit the function. I used up 1000 minutes in my sleep.
They're having another conference next Friday
so back to San Diego again?

What is even happening?
What was especially charming is that my subconscious took my current anxieties about Drew and combined them with my prior trauma about divorce to make a nightmare mixed drink. Which has left me hungover and shaky. FEH. My subconscious is on the list.Oh, Kristin. Your subconscious in on my list, too. Sheeeesh. The divorce is still fresh, too. That's a big life change, and no matter how much you know it was right, it's still hard.
Much the same. His mom is still in the hospital. They're having another conference next Friday to determine options for her going home eventually. His dad seems to still be in denial about the fact that some kind of permenant care is going to be necessary (though I think he knows it's inevitable) and no one wants to talk openly about any of it.
I'm so sorry. This must be so hard on all of them, and on you, because you're probably in the Other-Families-Are-So-Different Zone, too. The differences between dh's family and mine still surprise me, when there's a crisis.
Extra love to you and Drew.
Seriously?Seriously. Well, I did take Motrin. They offered me some prescription (some common one -- narcotic, I think -- but the name is totally escaping me, now). I asked if nausea was a side-effect. They said it was possible. I said, "No, thanks. Got any more of those ice pads?"
And the last time I needed a root canal, there was a delay between the diagnosis of need and the endontist appointment. My regular dentist gave me a script for [something related to oxycodone]. I filled it, because it's good to have in case of emergency, but never took it. I ended up throwing it away, when it expired. I hate to take stuff.

It's all still very new family-wise and that just adds more and different stress. I hope it is easier than expected both in what happens and in finally talking about it.

BOGGLE! Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!
Kristin, I'm thinking about all of you down there.

I'm with Cindy here -- most prescription pain meds' side effects are worse for me than the pain. I'd rather be sore than vomiting any day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too.
I took exactly one of the pain meds I got for my tooth infection/root canal (I think it was vicodin), then gave the rest to Cass. Stuff made me feel gross, and the pain wasn't that bad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hardly ever take pain meds. Whatever they gave me when I had my wisdom teeth out wouldn't stay down, and I even forget that, say, Motrin is an option when I have a headache most of the time.
That said, the Percocet my doctor gave me in the E.R. a couple of years ago was very nice indeed. Everything was just fine for a while.
