Cash - in our house when either of the pets are on meds, we discovered we have to make a checklist to mark off when meds are given, otherwise each of the three adults assumes one of the others did it.

Since we give the meds with their food, whoever feeds them is supposed to give the pill. That way, there's no assumption that someone else has done it. I'd love to give him the benefit of the doubt but he just blew it.

This is a sore spot with me because I'm the one who always cleans up the mess.

I'm really glad I'm getting away on my own this weekend. I need a break.

Ahhh, for us CJ feeds the animals, but the adults do the drugs.

OK, I am officially sick of being sick. Week Three of low level misery has brought intensified throat pain and difficulty swallowing, a follow up visit to the doctor, and continued "ehhhhh" on the part of said doctor.

So I am to email her of my state of health daily for the next couple days.

She thinks it *might* be a sinus infection, maybe, possibly, but doesn't want to switch my course of antibiotics unless she's more sure. So, it's wait and see.

Oh, Nora. That's so frustrating!

Oh Nora, I know exactly how you feel and it is of the suck -- this long, lingering low-level ick that won't submit to treatment. I hope you get better really soon.

We do this with the kids. Seriously. If one of us gives a child Motrin, or Tylenol, or Benadryl, or a prescription drug, we write it on the calendar. Usually if we have one kid sick, another kid is soon to follow, and it can get so confusing.

Is Mac supposed to be on medicine long term -- or was this just a course of something for X days?

I don't blame you, a bit.

Oh yeah, baby.

It's a permanent thing--hormones for the little, old lady, so to speak. It's not expensive and she takes the pill well, thank goodness. I think this reminder will help us keep her on it without fail.

The weather is supposed to be fine this weekend, too! ::knocks wood:: Out like a lamb. I've also got two subsequent trips to plan: Easter weekend with all of us visiting friends and then a wedding for just DH & me.

Nora, I hope it clears up for you. That's just sucky.

Cash, your husband seriously needs a clue by four. You want to threaten him that a big ol' dyke is gonna come kick his mathy ass if he doesn't shape up? Cause I'll do it. BATHE THOSE KIDS! MEDICATE THAT DOG! DROP AND GIVE ME 20 PUSH UPS!

Meanwhile, Fay's picture in the mirror is damnsexyhot. AWESOME. FAYYYYYY. I need a vacation to Bangkok, damnit. Also, I wanna go to India with Fay! I bet that would be an amazing fun adventure.

Punctuation, Laura.

Cash, WTFuckingF? Argh. I'll kick him for you, if needed.

So Pacific NW types...a friend of mine's heading to Portland and Seattle for a month and wants to know what to see/do. I suggested Powell's and Pike Place Market, respectively, but I don't know good restaurants or what have you. Help?

What type of food?
