I don't pay much attention to height and I find myself frequently attracted to people both taller and shorter than I am. I'm 5'7 1/2 and I've dated a guy who was 6'4" and a couple of gals under 5'5". The guy who's been giving me chills at work these days is probably 5'5" or 5'6".
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

“Not dead yet!”
Though in my defense, I tend to slouch, and ND's hair gives him a couple of inches of illusionary height.
For whatever reason, this image made me giggle. I may be a wee bit hopped up on caffeine after trying to fight this migraine all day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it still bothering you, Barb? I hope not.
Doctor gave me meds so I wouldn't have to go to the ER. Knock me on my ass he said they would.
Harrumph.

“Not dead yet!”
Not so much anymore, ita. Caffeine, meds, and a hot shower finally seemed to have shaken it loose. What's left behind is what I call the "ghost." The vestiges of what was there, almost like it's lingering, waiting for a chance to reestablish.
What'd the doc give you that he thought would knock you on your ass?

He prescribed me Phenergan. Told me to take it and lie down. I did. None of the sleepy came.

The status is NOT quo.
But...isn't that just an anti-nausea drug? I happen to be really sensitive to it, so I end up listing it with my allergies on medical forms.
ETA: Never mind. Just looked it up here: [link] . Huh. Still not seeing how it's supposed to make you all better, but I don't have an MD.

So, I didn't get a massage at SFO, but I did buy an upgrade to economy plus seating that came with a special, shorter security line.
It was worth every penny.

It was in combination with Keterolac (Toradol), but he knows that doesn't fix me. I dunno. I'm saving the one drug that I know sometimes works for vacation where there is no ER.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He prescribed me Phenergan.
Alone, it's just anti-nausea for me. Paired with a not large amount of narcotic and it's blissful relief of pain and total dozing. It's the only time I've ever found codeine to be useful.

I'd kill to doze. That's what I've been needing all day. Instead I've just been grumpy. I may try the Stadol again.
