So, tonight, I decided to Do Stuff. I House Managed tonight. And then promptly forgot to take my meds. So, it's not that I haven't had any pain this whole time, it's that the motrin is doing its job. I have some twinges now, but I don't know if it's that I didn't take the motrin until I was in pain, or all of the moving around I did tonight.

I've noticed that stairs really tire me out. Also, I think that either the antibiotics or the motrin are an appetite suppressant for me, because when I forgot to take them, I was hungry.

Can I ask what antibiotic, Vortex?

Metronidazole. I was also taking cipro, but when I told the doctor that I had neck pain, she said I should stop taking it.

Okay, not a sulfa drug. My one antibiotic restriction is sulfas, because when I was a kid, I was on it for something, and I didn't eat for like three days.

It's really strange. I don't even want to eat. When I had a craving for a sandwich, I took one bite and didn't really want it, but finished the half.

...sounds like I could use whatever vortex is taking!

Had a good day aside from headache that would not die. Brunch at a friends place, some thrift shopping, a nap for the headache, and a friends birthday bonfire on the beach. Only thing I could've done better is work out (was planning to but the headache nap ate that time). Or eaten healthy. Ah well.

I got to wander around Barcelona a little bit yesterday. I saw the outside of the Sagrada Familia, which is a pretty amazing Basilica designed by Gaudi that has now been under construction for over 100 years. I've got a little more than an hour before I catch a Taxi to the ship for two weeks of work with SpongeBob.

Sounds awesome, ND! Enjoy, and tell us about SpongeBob when you get back! :)

I'm sure there will be stories. Pix flies in to join me next weekend, so she'll get the second week of the fun.

Kate Beaton, also a lurker.
