Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Got out of a work early in order to come home and help Carmen (tv designer person who did our yard makeover) stain your entire yard. It has gone from grey to warm mottled terracotta ad looks one jillion times better. So exciting fir us and so nice of her to come over and do the job. Payment? We cook her some barbecue.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes bit on the GA musical. [link]

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Forgot that the combo of Prednisone + regular Albuterol = no sleep. I want sleep.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Taking a 12-hour sudafed for across-the-whole front of head sinuse pressure -- it works, but MAN it screws with your sleep. Hence the being awake at almost 4:00 a.m. Bah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, hello. I've been taking the super-sudafed twice a day for three days, trying to keep the evil sinus/ear pain away. It's almost worked. I dread flying next weekend, if this doesn't quit.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Woke up with still-having-the-cold, but I don't have to work today, or do more than stir forth in search of OTC meds, which are direly low. I'll throw in some Puffs Plus, which always are kinder to repeat nose-blowing.

After a certain point in the evening, I try to not take it unless I absolutely must, because I know it'll screw up my sleep, even with Ambien.

Zenkitty, I meant to ask you -- about your ear pressure, did your doctor recommend using Afrin or any other nasal spray? If there's no reason you *can't* use it, try using it for the 3 days prior to flying, or 2 days prior and the day of flying (because you really aren't supposed to use it for more than 3 days), and that might help a LOT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's just a really bad song.

The doctor did in fact recommend Afrin, and I've used it. It does help, once I stop using it, the problem comes back. The doctor said my ear looked fine, and the sulfa drugs didn't clear it up, and I can't take antibiotics, so I don't see much point to going to see an ENT. Though I probably will if I can get an appointment. The sad truth is, I'm halfway hoping it's bad enough that I *can't* fly - because I really don't want to.
