Congrats, Vortex! Finally!!!

Tim Gunn seemed nicely sensible. And he has a visceral dislike of leggings. We could work together.

Does anyone here take shoes with them on shopping trips? I mean, for clothes that are less than a couple hundred bucks? I can't imagine caring that much and would probably prefer coming back into the store to return stuff.

Today I wore a pendant that cost over $100 (eta: gift from Ma). This is how I know I'll never be a grownup the way my mother is a grownup. Silver. Semi-precious stone. It's lovely. I really like it. I just don't drop money like that on jewelry. Unless it had an on switch and came from the Apple store, perhaps.

ita, is there anyway to get some of this prearranged? I am assuming that the point of the notes was this , but they aren't working. though maybe it is the problem with most hospitls. Too big, so you never know who you are going to see

Yay, Vortex!

Boo, ita.

Yay, Vortex!

ita, this is getting enfuriating. beth has a point, what's the use of the headache Dr giving you a standard Rx if the ER Dr is going to nix it every time? Is there any way to deal with the pain without going through the ER? Can you headache Dr get you admitted to some place where he/she can supervise your treatment?

Congrats Vortex.

One of the last times we were here, they carefully went over the notes my specialist was recommending. And drugged me accordingly. The guy after that was the prick, and this guy doesn't want to (or care to) go back and check my notes for how I'm normally treated. He won't call the specialist, since my specialist works out of different hospitals.

But honestly? 1mg? That doesn't even take away the sensation left by me dosing myself with the subq triptan.

The hospital with which he is closely affiliated is the one I waited 4 hours and then ended up going somewhere else.

But Polgara has rescued me.

I wear black most of the time. When I don't, people at work tend to say things like, "You're not wearing black!" Even when I didn't wear black all the time, they did this. So I wear black partly because it makes for fewer idiotic conversations. And also because I'm lazy and don't understand colors and what looks good and what doesn't anyway, so. Daniel keeps yelling at me about this.

Oo. I love house pics. And shiny appliances! Congratulations, Vortex!

Poor ita. Hooray for being rescued, but boo for needing rescue from the people who are supposed to help. God.

Oh jesus, ita. I'd love to thump these assholes. I'm so sorry.

Vortex, it's lovely! I love the color of those floors.

A mosquito got me at the base of my neck, just starting at my back. Hurt so bad, I thought I'd been stung by a bee and wondering if I'm allergic to them (never been stung.) I know that area is sensitive, but good lord. I did the crazy dance on my balcony, whapping the spot with my book.

Ha. A mosquito got me on where my Adam's apple would be if I were an Adam. It is driving me, err, bugfuck. Because I itch! But if I scratch it, I tickle! But if I don't scratch it, I itch!

Heavens, ita. Hope you're getting stashed away at a better ER. Yay for Polgara. (Yay for you accepting a lift from Polgara.)

Dude, if I can't wear black with everything, I am so screwed. Can I not wear khaki with stuff, too? Work with me, here, people!

Watching my Tivo'd Tim Gunn last night, I wondered if he would still hate on my clothes even if I *owned* my sleek grey cargo pants and band T-shirts. Heh. But yeah, okay, I'd let Tim Gunn go through my closet. But not my underwear drawer. The horror!

I don't bring shoes to try on clothes, but then I'm not usually shopping for all ten pivotal items in my closet. I do try to wear the right pair of shoes to try on whatever it is I'm shopping for.

You know what has, oddly enough, worked to kill an itch dead? Off skintastic bug repellent. I have no idea why it works in that capacity.

Added bonus (besides the repellent effect) is you'll get people commenting favorably on your perfume. Even if you use the unscented kind. Weird stuff.
