Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
except that it would explain a lot.
It would, wouldn't it. Dammit. I don't have time for mono!
Anyway, my doc gave me a huge shot full of zinc, vitamins C & B, and a whole bunch of immunity-boosting stuff. (Oww, my hip stings.) She also said "You're a chronic insomniac! Taking 5mg of Ambien every night is better than you constantly being sleep deprived. Don't argue".
Why does my mother still seem to think that, if she just figures out the right cure, I'll magically become an extrovert? This is just me. I don't need to, or want to, be fixed. (And really, why does she think that the toddler who would run and hide when company came over could somehow become an adult who loves parties?)
Jilli, I really hope it's not. But if it is, you have got to sleep as much as possible. And it's easy to feel better after a couple of days and think you're okay, then overdo it.
Keeping my fingers crossed it's not!

You mean like I did over the weekend? I hope it's not mono, too, but wow, hindsight is pretty clear.
Jilli hope you are OK. Hillary hope your Mother grows up someday. Oh and Snerk [link] Not safe for work

Also, someone mentioned a trend of getting depressed about 6 months after the active infection subsided. I scoffed...to my peril. Jot a note in your calendar so that you can remind yourself...'what they said' and take it easy on yourself.
And duplicate ditto no the sleep getting...followed by restraint. So important.
I was thinking of sending an e-mail. Because I can't call. If I call, the conversation has the potential to spiral out of control.
I would not call. I would send an email, and a card. Maybe a gift. But any conversation right now is likely to make things worse rather than better.
She also said "You're a chronic insomniac! Taking 5mg of Ambien every night is better than you constantly being sleep deprived. Don't argue".
So true. Just take it, woman!
Also, quite frankly: your parents need to understand that there are consequences to treating you like they do. Not talking to you on Fathers Day is maybe a minor way of showing that. Sucks a bit for your dad since he's not the one giving you hassles, but he also needs to understand that letting it all go on and saying "call me at work" is not actually a neutral position like he might think.
