I was sleepy too, apparently. We lay down and I totally zonked out.

Biscuit! Silly boy. Frankie goes walkabout when he has the chance and comes back grinning (thankfully I usually figure it out pretty quickly, and block the hole in the fence again).

sumi, I hope you feel better soon.

So on the book of faces, I just corrected one anarchist acquaintance who posted that bullshit Hitler quote and then another conservative acquaintance who was ranting about Obama lying about taxes not going up. Hit him, quite calmly, with facts and cites from wsj, new yorker, and forbes. His response? FUCK ALL THE POLITICIANS!!! Um, yay?

I think that's enough tilting at windmills for the evening. I am kind of marveling at my ability to keep calm and refute on. Especially since I'm still in the throes of a panic attack.

Lots of hairpats and hugs and ~ma for sj, sumi, Teppy, and smonster.

There was a colonoscopy prep going on at work yesterday. Poor tiny person being expected to guzzle a half gallon of Gatorade & Glycolax in a short span of time. No wonder it just stopped going down. Also, we JUST got that carpet cleaned.

Today, I lazed about. I deserve it.

I have antibiotics*, and the nurse practitioner agreed that coming in after 17 days was a good idea. She said that you don't have to have a head full of snot for it to be a sinus infection, but suggested I use the neti pot twice a day (instead of once a day, which I had been doing), to see if that helps get anything moving that might be stuck in my sinuses (GROSS). She also recommended sudafed, mucinex, and ibuprofen. So I am loaded with drugs right now. I feel like a poor imitation of Hunter Thompson.

*(I am really not happy about taking antibiotics yet again -- in the past 8 months, this is probably my 5th or 6th round of antibiotics [the rest, IIRC, were for my stupid dental saga]. I really hate disrupting my good bacteria, and I loathe the idea that I'm contributing to antibiotic-resistant superbacteria. But I also don't want an infection hanging out so close to my brain, so antibiotics it is.)

I *despise* the colonoscopy prep.

Ha, your fb feed sounds like mine, smonster. Good on you for getting through it with aplomb. And I hope you can reel in the panic attack; those are no fun at all.

Oh, Windsparrow, no bueno! You definitely deserve some lazing.

Yeah, I know, Tep, I feel the same way. But sometimes you just need to knock that sucker out.

I *despise* the colonoscopy prep.

It is the fucking WORST.

The memory of the "drink" I had to imbibe can still make me shudder.

The worst of the worst. I couldn't finish it all. After getting violently ill, I decided things were as clean as they were going to get. t shudder

Nasty.
