And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

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.

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.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This all reminds me, I need to make sure my postpartum checkup includes an IUD...

Best. Thing. EVAR

Oh, AMEN.

By the way, I love you all.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

...oh, wait. That woman's just an asshole.

Well now, that does call to mind another way to avoid pregnancy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well now, that does call to mind another way to avoid pregnancy.

Be careful of the analogue.

Yay for nothingness, Kate!

Suzi, we have the same thing as one of our insurance options (they were going to make it the ONLY option, but people were pissed). It's cheaper for us than the usual copay-prescription concept, but dang. Some of my prescriptions have been expensive (ok, the copay is still $70 on those, which isn't cheap) and that would BITE to have to pay it all in January!

everyone would be in a two-parent het family with the man as the sole breadwinner....

Well, dang, if my parents had only known the only thing keeping me gay was a bad economy...

Fortunately, secretaries and stewardesses don't become pregnant.

That's where the sad, barren, women go, since they cannot fulfill their duty to The Jesus to have many many babies?? Right.
