Fortunately, secretaries and stewardesses don't become pregnant.
My worst ever paper fail was when the instructor thought I was arguing for X when I wrote the paper arguing Y. He just thought I made a really bad argument for X.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Yay for no biopsy Kate! And I hope these antibiotics help, and that you're in less pain.
Thanks, I feel much better. I drank a whole glass of ginger ale. Victory! I do have the bestest neighbors ever. And I have a guest room, for when the time is right for you and M. to pay a visit. Maybe this summer, when the weather is nice and humid and scorching.

That reminds me of a test in logic class that I failed because I proved the opposite of what I was supposed to. I had justifications for everything, too! The professor and I just stared at each other in bafflement over that test. Unfortunately, I was the only one to prove the opposite, or I may have had an argument to stand on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The doctor didn't seem too worried, but it was a nice moment of validation to hear him say, while examining my lymph nodes, things like "Wow, that's really swollen! You must be in a lot of pain." Which, yes, and that's no fun, but at least now I have confirmation that I'm not just making a big deal out of nothing. Here's hoping this round of antibiotics does the trick!
Here's hoping! Also, that is the best. And by "best," I mean, well, at least the professionals agree you have an actual complaint/concern.

I'm glad the appointment went well, Kate. And I hope the new meds clear things up quickly.
