Hey Chicago-istas - does Frontera Grill take reservations?

I was just about to post what sumi did. So...yeah. Limited and you need them well in advance.

Make-up: I wear it when I leave the house. I spend less than 10 minutes on make-up. Usually more like 5. But, I'm pale with light hair and light eyes. I need some color, yo. As I've gotten older, I need a little more color than I used to. It's like the small amount of color I had in my skin and lips is disappearing.

I don't generally wear makeup to work, unless I have something after work. But that's mostly because I work alone and never see anyone. Back when I gave a fuck, I wore eyeliner, powder, and lipstick/gloss for every day. Sometimes a little eyeshadow if I had a meeting or presentation.

Whenever you can see makeup on me at all, I'm afraid I look like a hoor.

Including lipstick?

Well, I picked a good day to put on makeup.

First day with new doctor, WTF? She totally made me cry. Dammit. I don't like her. Doesn't mean she's wrong about her shit, but dammit, she totally assaulted me with Icy Hot. Which she can't smell, but I reek of now. She is very challenging. And very not very happy about my ER visits.

Well, lady, neither am I. But don't you dare judge me. She played her own chronic pain card, but lady, I don't care that you were up last night with a chronic pain episode. I'M HAVING ONE RIGHT NOW. I USUALLY AM. It's not a competition.

Erin--you were right about the sleep hygiene. Come Friday, no computer use two hours before bedtime. But I can watch TV. And she's switching me off Ambien onto a drug whose name I forget starting with a T.

She was just very stressy.

It is rainy, rainy, rainy here. Apparently there is snow in higher elevations. I guess I need to look at changing the tires on my car.

The outside gloom had me turning on my fireplace (that is never not going to sound strange). The flickering flames are more comforting than I had expected.

She was using Icy Hot in the office when she knew she had a migraine patient coming in? Um. That shit gives *me* a headache.

Does McStressy have a suggestion for what to replace the ER visits with?

Trazadone? I recently switched from generic Ambien to Trazadone and so far so good.

Thanks for the Frontera info, guys. I really want to try to do lunch there when I'm in town for my college reunion, but it sounds like we'll need a backup plan at the very least.

Oh dear, ita. I hope she helps you, in the end.

Including lipstick?

No, I'm used to wearing lipstick.

I have so little interest in working today! And I just postponed the meeting with my boss I was getting psyched up for. Ah well. I support I could get psyched up for my 4pm, but that's going to be nearly impossible.

SHE PUT IT ON ME.

Does McStressy have a suggestion for what to replace the ER visits with?

She suggested oral dilaudid. Oh! Nobody thought of that! Except for the part where we totally did and it failed.

Unsurprisingly, I hate being judged.

Gap scraps new, stupid, logo.

That's the one. She says it's also used for headache relief.

Sorry about the stressy challenginess, ita. I hope she does you some good.
