Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
wonder what the market for tech support is in Seattle, probably saturated.
Please keep in mind that while Fairbanks Alaska has had six days of 70 degree weather in the past two weeks, we have been in the 50s. Seriously.
It is currently 48 degrees here. It's ridiculous. Though for the first time in weeks, the forecast does not look completely and utterly depressing...
It decreases the amount of acid the stomach produces (if too much acid is your problem).
I don't think that's it. It's like gas pains times, like, a zillion. It's faded (for now, but maybe for the duration) but if it comes back, maybe I'll try a Zantac, which is something I have on hand for acid situations (which I definitely do get from time to time, but is easily taken care of with the Zantac)

Hi, home! Hey, Fairbanks consistently records temps in the 90s (and sometimes 100s). It just also consistently records temps in the negative 40s and 50s.
SF has been pretty warm lately, which is kind of weird. I was all prepared for summer weather, and then it got sunny and warm! Strange.

Hmm. Your basic Bad Tummy, then.
I've been having weird lower-abdominal pains for....a while now, and I have an OB/GYN appt. tomorrow to see what's what. (Not pregnant; I've checked.) The oddest part is -- I *know* I'm fat, but my lower abdomen (belly-button downward) is disproportionately huge. I'm not saying that to justify my fat. None of my pants fit right -- they're loose (or fit properly) in the legs, but so tight on my lower abdomen that it's painful. I know it *could* be just extra fat, but combined with the unexplained pain that occurs randomly throughout the month, it's got me a little concerned. Not overly, but still. I'll be glad to get it checked out tomorrow.
(We leave for vacation in 10 days, and I have appointments out the ass between now and then, all because I want to go on vacation with a clear conscience -- 30,000-mile car tune up [we're driving my car to vacation so that HAS to be done], tire store [ditto], OB/GYN, and my first-ever leg wax next week so that I'm not Sasquatch at the beach with my BF's entire family. God, I hope it isn't excessively painful. And doesn't give me a rash afterwards. [No, no bikini area. I have a low pain threshhold.])
Still, Fall in Utah is gorgeous.
It is. The colours are beautimous, though I wish they would maintain a longer duration. Every season save winter seems to last only a moment.

I wish you luck. I advise intoxication or an altered state of some kind, and of coarse a designated driver. I have a low tollerance for pain as well, and strangers touching me makes me excessively nervous, so I tend to tense up and make it worse for myself.
Your basic Bad Tummy, then.
Yeah, however, it's getting to be a regular and more incapaciting Bad Tummy, and I'd like to figure out what the deal is. It now stretches out over 2 days and has been, exitingly, culminating in throwing up before it lets me out of its grip. (that hasn't happened yet for this occasion, but I'm not out of the woods yet)

Fortunately, it's not a stranger, and she knows I have sensitive skin, so I've got that going for me. (Plus, she comes highly recommended.)
I'ma take ibuprofen beforehand and hope for the best. Because I'd really rather not have to deal with daily shaving at the beach. In a house with only a couple of bathrooms and many, MANY people, all of whom are related to my BF. (Lord, what AM I doing?)
Medical~ma to Nora and Teppy with their mysterious abdominal pains.
The gronk she is mighty. I continues to rain in Minnesota, so whereas I have mown the lawn in living memory, it looks like it is returning to prairie. The cats are acting like it is miserable and cold, and Sammie stole my warm spot as I got out of bed. Sammie, who has been sleeping on the chair next to the bed because it is too hot to snuggle for her long-haired self. And if we are getting more rain, Wisconsin won't be getting a dry spell either. This keeps up, and Daniel and I might be rowing to Madison.
