What are the kidlets' best colors? The nephews look awesome in blues (I totally dressed T in blues and blue&pale greens when I was there because his eyes got even more luminous. D, I had less control over. All parts covered sufficed.) Now Grace & Noah, I haven't see in anything that isn't their best color. Noah rocks orange, for crying out loud. Hardly anyone does.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Those are luverly t-shirts.

Cass. I'm a 20 on, 20 off sort of a girl, three times round, to be restarted the next time I've done whenever called upon, which might very well be sooner than the next day.

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

Drat. I am near max then.

I was tripping (literally, not pharmacologically) on a cord and whacked the side of my foot on the corner of my very solid coffee table. It's ... I am pretty sure not broken.

I hate ice. Can't say I mind the numbing part though. It's throbbing hugely when I take it off.

I hears ya. The other thing I should mention is pressure. If you have a solide icepack (as opposed to a doohickey that is liquid below 0°) is to work the swollen area to dispel any swelling.

Man, does that just not sound like fun.

I'll do it.

eta: And thank you!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I hate ice, but it works. I usually do 10 minutes once an hour for as long as I can bear the idea. I recently cleaned out my freezer and realized that about 20% of the space was taken up with various forms of ice gel packs. You might want to put a some compression on that with an Ace bandage when you go to bed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure anyone who's dealt at all with infertility should not watch tonight's Private Practice. I don't know much, and it seems eyerolly to me.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, Jesse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My freezer is ice, alcohols, and an intersection of the two sets (so I can have v. cold moldable icepacks).

Okay. I do believe that today's ER visit has not resulted in the world ending. But the jury's still out on that one, so don't jack with any apocalypse-dependent tasks right now.

Cass, for icing, my Chiro recommended 10 on, 10 off, 10 on, 30 minute rest, repeat.

In other news, I decided to solve my too many ornaments problem by decorating a second tree!
