Bizarre. But since ulcers come from the h pylori bacterium and I have lots of unfun autoimmune but not debilitating things that feel pretty interrelated, I am not surprised once I think about it. I don't think we've even halfway figured out how bodies really work. Or what comes together (biomes) to make them work.
Histamines in our tummies should be a children's book. Seuss that up.
Those parades aren't on Mardi Gras. Endymion is Saturday, Bacchus is on Sunday, and Orpheus is Monday (all leading up to Mardi Gras.)
I am down with the two uptown parades, but probably won't make it out for Endymion. You have a place to watch? You can find us at 6th & St. Charles on the neutral ground.
Whee! Glad you're coming out!
I don't necessarily have to do all three. It's been so long since I've been to Mardi Gras I kind of figure like my tolerance is busted. And to be honest, some of the routes might have changed since last time I went.
But we'll definitely do something!
I'll be here! And I love parades. Unless it's raining, because I am a wimp.
I spent some time with Bonny last night - I'd planned to go by this evening after work, but I'll make sure she's still there before.
Bonny must be terribly frustrated. It is good to hear that you were able to visit her, Todd.
I tried to be helpful and brought her some Benedryl gel for itch relief ... only it turns out her skin's so sensitive that it burned, rather than helping. sigh ... I was going to try again tonight with some ointment, which has an antihistamine in it. If she's still there, I'll give it a try. If nothing else, I might relieve the tedium. After a little while, just lying in bed loses its charm.
Am I remembering correctly that Bonny likes coloring books? I think I have a couple of pretty ones here I could send off to her if that would help with the tedium.
Today is onerous task day for me. I called Staples to find out what the hell is going on with the computer they have had for over a month now. They're going to call me back, supposedly.
Second, I called my doctor and, (possible tmi spoiler font)
I now have an appointment at the end of the month with the fertility clinic because it's been six months and no pregnancy yet, and apparently at my advanced age of 35, that's long enough.
sj - you are remembering correctly.
