Is it designed to come apart? Maybe buy some plastic sleeves.

It is spiral bound and the pages are non-standard, roughly 7x7. Plus, the explanation of one card, say "I've been so focused on being heard, I didn't see how much sense you are really making," is on the flip side of the explanation for another.

Poo watch 2011 continues. No poo (boo) but also no vomit (yay!) and Mal is very pleased to be home. He made a lot of bad noises at the animal hospital. He also allowed lots of petting and love, but he tends to hiss at anyone in a white coat. Gosh, i can't imagine why!

yay for no vomit. C'mon & poop, dude.

Spring Break! Yay!

Flight at 6 AM. Boo.

Tep, since the outbreak is on the mucous membranes, it can take a bit for it to heal up. And my experience is that the first outbreak was indeed awful, but in the 4 years since I had it, I have had maybe three outbreaks and they were very, very mild.

Zen, I am still having a OMFG this is magic reaction to the Xanax. I didn't need any today, but I was able to get to sleep easily on .75 mgs last night as easily as 1 mg. YAY YAY. I am going to be talking with my doc for sure about renewing a script for usage, because so far, it's been a godsend.

I still have to pack my suitcase. I know I'll forget stuff. I also need to clean my kitchen and take out the trash and a bunch of other stuff.

Hil, have a great vacation!

Thanks, sj.

Phone and iPod are still charging. I don't wear makeup, really. All hair stuff is in 3 ounce bottles in a one quart bag. Two bathing suits are packed, since I'm going to Florida and plan to spend most of the time on the beach. Not planning on going anywhere fancy, but I've got a cute dress that I can throw in just in case.

Sandals! Beach requires sandals.
