Okay, so I was neither super productive nor did I go to the parade. But R is back in town, and we did get out of our respective houses and wander the French Quarter a bit. And we're going to see queer circus/burlesque later. I think we've managed to get the brain weasels to back off just a skosh, so that's good.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just sat in my bathroom for twenty minutes with an unhappy cat while a tornado rambled about a bit north of me. Good times. The tornado's gone now, and I didn't even lose power. Still, it's a good reminder that the thunderstorms I love can get a bit frisky.

Medical question: I'm pretty sure I've got a UTI. I'm seeing my gynecologist on Tuesday anyway, so I figured I'd just mention it then. But now I've got a slight fever. Is this a thing where I should call the doctor tomorrow, or am I OK waiting until Tuesday?

Hil, are you having any pain in your sides or back?

Hil, are you having any pain in your sides or back?
No. A little bit achy at the front of my abdomen, a bit below my belly button and off to the side, but nothing in my sides or back.
I've only had a UTI once before, so I don't really know what the time frame is supposed to be. And with the other one I had, I didn't even notice it -- it showed up in a urine test I was having for some other reason, and my doctor asked me, "Have you been having this bunch of symptoms?" and I was like, "Yeah, I guess I have. That all means something?"

You should probably go see someone tomorrow if you still have a fever,

OK, I'll take my temperature again tomorrow. If I've still got a fever, I'll call the doctor's office.

Yikes, Calli, glad you're okay.
Sounds like a good plan, Hil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Urgent Care if you spike a fever or have stabbing pain in your back or side. Otherwise, wait so long as you can tolerate the discomfort.
Long day.
