Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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 dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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

Trust my rage

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?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

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.

Trust my rage

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

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.

Would a podcast/book on tape be too distracting during that? I can see how it could be, but on the other hand, it might be entertaining.
