Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[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.
::sigh:: Sorry. Frustration overload. Shutting up now.{{{ Smonster }}} Don't you dare. We are here to help, even if it's only virtual hugs and smishes. And see, there was that iron idea. Lots of knowledge in these here parts.
Also, Seska, I wish the girls family was in Dallas area, I'd be happy to distract or tour guide or something to help. Alas, Houston is a good 4 hour drive. But if the girl needs to run away, open invitation for my couch. And the house is still rather tidy!
I like smishing! Smish away!
And thanks, y'all.
Barb, um, I *think* my iron has been checked somewhat recently? I can check w/ my PCP. I haven't noticed any random bruising or anything and if the last time (when I had mono) is any indicator, there would be serious random bruising.
And yes, my thyroid has been checked, and no, not just the test that is sometimes wrong but the whole shebang. My doc today said it was a shame it wasn't my thyroid, since that's such an easy fix, but then it hasn't turned out that way for my sis.
And - a lot of y'all know this - it's been, like, eight years of feeling pretty shitty a lot of the time. I just emailed my dance troupe to take a hiatus, b/c even dance isn't fun anymore. And that really scares me, b/c it's been one of the few consistently enjoyable things in my life for the last six years.
Okay, back to PR and infinitesimal productivity. You know it's bad when watching tv seems almost more effort than it's worth.

That's really kind, omnis - thank you! The Girl spent several of her childhood years in Houston, so she's pretty comfortable there - and I think she'll be too busy with family stuff to need distraction, especially as she'll only be there a few days. But that's really sweet of you. If I ever go there with her (she goes quite often), we'll try to find a way to meet up with you!
Went to the doctor today. I got a newer, better, more complicated ankle brace; a prescription for physical therapy; and a prescription for Tylenol 3. And a doctor who actually acknowledged that I am in pain, and that being in pain sucks.
Just got back from the pharmacy. On the way there, a random guy stopped me on the street to ask, "Where you from? Your people ain't from this country, are they?"
I have emailed my advisor three times since Sunday to ask to set up a time to meet sometime Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Still no response.
Speaking of celebrity tweeting, I just saw this pic of Nathan Fillion and the Doc Horrible Emmy. Very cute.
{{{{{smonster}}}}} It is so frustrating when you are doing everything you are supposed to do and nothing helps. Hang in there.

Really?
I should try some iron. Or get it checked. Something.
JEEZIS, CASS!!!! GET SOME IRON!
It occurs to me that maybe I should too...
I really need to have my iron levels checked again. Supposedly taking folic acid (which I am on) can also help increase iron levels, so maybe mine has gone up. I try to eat more read meat, but taking iron pills makes me so sick.
It's hard to tell what is random bruising and what is a really dysfunctional relationship with gravity. It occurs to me that maybe there is a synergistic effect and ...
