Spike ,'Sleeper'
[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.
a viral sinus infection (FOR THREE FLIPPING WEEKS NOW!!)
Three weeks is usually time to see a doctor, because there's a good chance it's bacterial. Virii don't tend to last longer than 2 weeks.
What if the mucous is not a color that would signify infection?
When Calli came to dinner on Friday (I need to post those pictures for lo! She Is Foamy and I should share), I did the B.org usual of, "Do you like [boardname] or [real name]?" And as usual, the response was, "I answer to either."
Heh. There's a kink-world version of Facebook, to which I belong. And my username there is Teppy. So now the local people in the kink scene go back and forth between calling me Steph and Teppy, and it amuses me greatly, because until now, the only people who called me Teppy in person were you guys.

Ooooh, good question! You know, I have no idea. I guess if the snot is clear, I'd give it a little more time.
I read a thing a while back that the color of mucus is not a reliable diagnostic tool. Can't remember where, but since it was on the internet I assume it was true.
makes call to doctor
I'll go in tomorrow. I hate taking AB's for things other than Real* infections.
* Real as defined by me and not anyone who is actually smart: Strep, UTI's, and STD's.
I'm selective about who calls me what. It's hard to tell someone who's presumptively started calling you by a nickname to stop, though. Especially if you know them or work with them. They take it personally.
I don't like anyone calling me "Rob" and I will nip that shit in the bud. One old friend does, but only because both he and I know that it's a shortened version of "Robbie Bobbie Boo," his ACTUAL nickname for me. Hard to explain that one.
Some people call me "Toddy". Once.
For weeks, my co-worker was calling me "Sunily" until I asked her to please stop. She was very sad.

Ha!
Oh dear. My mother has discovered that "Date My Single Kid" site. She says she's just looking for someone for my sister, because I've got enough going on in my life right now, but she keeps finding people that she thinks will be perfect for me.
