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.

I actually brought in a coloring book to bring her ... although I'll have to get something to color WITH. Somehow I didn't think the watercolors I have at home would be a good choice ....

Yay for the appointment, sj. I hope they have quick and easy solutions for you. There are so many possible issues and only testing will determine the cause.
