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.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Oh dear, I have a dating problem and I'm not even dating. A friend who is also my massage therapist thought it would be great for me to meet one of her clients with whom I have many shared interests. Ok, sure. The three of us met up for a drink and he was nice but lo I am still massively apathetic about dating and wasn't interested. He asked for my number and seemed like a good friend to have since he has hours similar to mind. Not from work schedule, but from being a gulf war vet with severe PTSD on long term disability with accompanying insomnia. So there's some issues. And in the more than a week since he's been txting me every. single. day. Mupltiple times. First couple days was fine, now it's grating. I don't communicating with ANYONE every day. Yesterday, after several days of ignored or peremptory responses he sent "let me know if i text too much, or not enough. I'm fairly clueless on some thing." I breathed a deep sigh of relief and responded with "no need to text daily, I'll check in when I have something to say". And figured that would buy me at least a day. Nope, another text tonight. Nothing rude or obnoxious, always along the lines of "Hello! How are you? When would you like to hang out?" but every. single. day. it's super irritating, but I don't want to be any meaner or ruder than I already have been...and I'm getting less and less interested in being friends with this guy and his baggage. *sigh*
