Lots of ~ma, sj.

~ma, sj.

Much ma sj!

Thanks so much Stephanie. I appreciate the empathy. I, too, have been peed on...I think four times so far. And, someone peed on my brand new doggy lama backpack while I was emceeing a Howl-o-ween event. Can't really toss it in the washer...Not to mention nearly EVERY male dog visiting my house peeing on something or other.

Bartleby and Cagney have peed in this house exactly once each.

Everyone else? Way more. I thank science and delivery systems for Nature's Miracle!!

Stuff happens, and things are messy. Truth.

Frankie peed on my friend's leg once. Well, he was peeing on a chair leg and she was sitting in the chair. He's had many an accident, mostly because his "I gotta pee" signs are so subtle I don't pick up on them in time.

Adding my ~ma to the collection for sj (I'm imagining the ~ma mostly translucent, glowing and shimmering a little, like one of the good happy dreams in the BFG's collection).

My first experience was while petting a very tall Weimaraner. He seemed quite cozy, pushing up against me...and then I felt the warmth, aaaaallll the way down my leg.

I've also been targeted as I sat on the steps in the dog park.

Oddly, the two dogs I actually 'belong' to have never even tried it.

They don't have to! You already smell like them.

I love dogs.

I am having serious free-floating rage/anxiety today. I'm angry about shit that hasn't even happened.

I have a sinus question. I've been having a lot of sinus pressure and pain, and even some pain in my upper teeth, for over 2 weeks. But no green snot (no unusual/excess amount of snot, actually) at all.

I don't think it's an infection, but the pressure and pain is driving me bonkers. Sudafed and ibuprofen aren't really helping. The neti pot isn't really helping. Warm compresses help temporarily, but then the pressure and pain come back.

I'm inclined to call the doctor, but I don't think they can do anything for me. I guess steroids if the pressure was really bad, but it's not agonizing pain. (I think all my dental stuff and migraines have made my Head Pain Scale recalibrate.) And I'd rather not take steroids if I don't have to. OTOH, this is driving me bonkers, and it's been 17 days.

Should I call the doctor? Opinions?

I'm all for being aggressive about treating anything awry with the ENT or respiratory system. It's just too easy to get some kind of bug in there that lingers for months.

Also, one of the doctors JZ works for was touting the surgery she had to open up the breathing in her sinuses. Something to explore for a long term fix for people with recurrent sinus issues.

Do you have a temperature?
