Erin, stop accomplishing so much when you aren't accomplishing anything. You're making us lazy fuckers look bad. hmpf

For realz!

Steph, I think that sounds like "worse" to me.

Zen, awesome. Definitely be yourself. I go by the Dorothy Parker Principle; "And if you do not like me so/to hell, my love, with you." I'd let you see mine, but I just disabled it because I was tired of dealing with annoying messages.

Off to pick up a box of produce, and then I must do some serious menu planning. And then stick to that. Oy.

And since it's Bitches, I'll add some girly TMI: I think I'm allergic to nonoxynol-9. Ouchy. I wonder if having the fire ant bites on my ankle made my histamines all hyper and shit, so they decided to go crazy in my vajayjay.

Having the kiddo around is amazingly motivating, guys! If nothing else, I gotta get up around 8am, if not sooner.

So I mentioned I had pinkeye on Sunday? Well I still do, but now the entire side of my face is swollen along with a gland by my jaw I never knew I had AND the glands in my neck are huge. And I am so tired. I haven't been this exhausted since I had mono and I'm truly worried about finding the energy to drive home.

Yipes! That doesn't sound good, Nonian. Have *you* called the doctor?

I really think ALL the Stephanies should be healthy. Damn it.

I just called the doctor and passed on all the info about my unwellness and chest soreness and cough and need for the inhaler, and either the doctor/nurse will call me back, or they'll just call another antibiotic in. I just hate to think I'm taking more antibiotics if I don't need them.

Smonster, i have had that reaction before and avoid the spermidical lube. Stinging and burning and running screaming into the bathroom does not make for awesome sexy time. I mean seriously, i'm already using a condom and BCP, i don't need to chemically destroy all the little sperms as well. Total overkill.

I did - 3:20pm. I'm actually hoping it is something beyond a cold because I am seriously too tired to do anything.

I really think ALL the Stephanies should be healthy. Damn it.

Seconded. Health~ma to all the Stephanies.

Well, it looks like this PT is definitely over. The plan right now is to take advantage of the three weeks of free gym membership I get through PT, continue exercising as home, and reevaluate the situation with my PCP when I see her again in August.

So now the question is how do I motivate myself to exercise when I don't have an appointment or a schedule set for me? I'm notoriously bad at that sort of thing. Any advice welcome.

sj, per val's recommendation, I've been putting stars on a calendar for myself! It is surprisingly satisfying. Also, it's nice if you plan to spend time on a treadmill/elliptical/bike to go during a time when you can watch a tv show you like (maybe not one that needs a ton of attention)

Thanks meara. I'll keep those ideas in mind. I can't really do the bike or treadmill. My routine is more 5 minutes on this machine, 5 minutes on the next, etc as well as some free weights.
