That's the classic rash for an allergy to something on your clothing, Hil. Are you using fragrance-free washing machine soap?

Go, Fay!

Stop hurting yourselves, people. You're stealing my act.

oh,and in really awesome news, I did not get out of bed for 8 hours last night. Yeah, I was awake nursing at various times, but being able to nurse in bed makes it so less onerous. 6 weeks really is a magic milestone.

YAY! That’s wonderful.

Poor insomniacs! Hope you’re all sleeping now.

ION, the first full workday of DST after a night of fragmented sleep is probably going to be remarkably unpleasant, isn't it?

Yes. Yes, it is. Also, good to see you, Anne!

I have lost 22lb since January 7th. I am made of awesome!

Go you! That’s fantastic!

Sparky! OWE! Get some rest, girl.

Hil, have you by any chance changed laundry detergents recently?

Actually, I’ve heard that you can develop an allergic reaction to laundry soaps even if you’ve been using them for ages, so it could be the laundry detergent, even if you haven’t changed recently.

So, when I finally stumbled to bed last night, I set the alarm, but didn’t realize the clock hadn’t been changed (I was at my mom’s the night before). So, I’m up an hour later than I had been hoping. Oh, well.

I have an e-mail message with the subject "Is your skills about to expired?"

I'm not sure if it's spam or a message from the president.

I am at H&R Block. They have no record of my appointment. I am beyond pissed. No one cares about customer service here AT ALL.

Or have you started taking a new medication? Because when I suddenly got an allergy to generic Prozac, the rash started everywhere that clothing was tight-ish on me; notably, the elastic bands in my bra, panties, and socks.

Own a cat, save your heart?

Todd! Bwah!!

Fay, that fellow is INDEED lovely. Quite so. I realized, however, that OK tracks every click, so I'll bet he'll be wondering why the skeevy 47 year old in DC is scoping him out.

I liked Sparky's photo so much, I put in on my OK profile.

Steph, any advances on the anxious pooch front?

Okay, this may be a really really stupid question - but are you sure that it was graffiti?

You are probably right, but I thought it was funnier to describe them as Graffiti. Eugene north to Albany Oregon is major league sheep country. I did not realize they raised so many sheep in Oregon.

why the skeevy 47 year old in DC is scoping him out.

You're not skeevy. You're soi-disant.

Sorry to hear about the H&R Block non-appointment, Stephanie. That sucks.

So do all the headach, insomnia and other crappy nights not getting enough sleep around here.
