Oh, dang, Nora, I hope y'all can get that monkey off your back!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Unfun, Nora. I'm sorry you feel so crappy.
PS, I wish I had cassoulet in my slow cooker right about now.

Punishingly Intricate
woohoo on the closing, Nora!! (Bob's condo sale is scheduled to close 11/26. Everything is crossed that it goes through smoothly.)

Cassoulet was delicious. We will have leftovers tomorrow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Paging Steph... Is it okay to take ibuprofen on top of Percocet? No more Tylenol, right? But I think ibuprofen is okay. D's pain is worsening.
Everyone is right -- ibuprofen is fine with percocet, or anything that has acetaminophen in it. And Ginger is right -- you can take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours. (If you want the goddamn truth, I take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours when I really need it. It's not a good idea to do take that dose on a chronic basis, but if D needs it for a few days to a week, he'll be fine.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If you want the goddamn truth, I take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours when I really need it.
Me too, just for another point of anecdata. When my back has really been hurting, I've taken 1200 mg of Tylenol with 800 mg of Advil, as often as I can without exceeding the maximum dose.
Today I tried Aleve. It seems to work better, but today was not a super-bad day, so we'll see. At least it's another weapon in the arsenal. It seems to make the ringing in my ears worse, though.

I have prescription Aleve (apparently it's less likely to cause rebound headaches than tylenol or ibuprofen or aspirin?), but oddly it's more than one, but less than two, of the regular kind.
(Mostly I take painkiller and go "dammit, why doesn't this stuff WORK?", except for all the times I take it and realize a few hours later "Hey, I stopped hurting", and don't really connect the two things)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
brain is fragmented. Multi-tasking is pulling it in too many directions. Ahhhhhhhhhh....
(nothing to see here people. Move along. Just a guy working on Sunday, answering too many emails, spending some budget money before the deadline, and not getting to the actual thing he wants done, which is a strike list for tonight)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
{{{Nora}}} Feel better. I'm hungry thinking about the cassoulet you made for us a while back.
TCG had a gig tonight, and for once instead of just talking about going out on a night when TCG is busy, I actually did it. I went to my friend H's and hung out with her son G for a while, who was so very happy to see me (I had a Halloween present for him), and H and I chatted once he went to bed. It was fun, and much better than staying home and feeling sorry for myself.
