Good job with the event, msbelle!

Uhg, long conversation (mostly good!) with my brother has convinced me I probably am now breeding a sinus infection. If not clear by tuesday, back to the clinic I go. Basically, pressing lightly between my brows is lightly painful, and 5 feet underwater is WOW EVERY SINUS CAVITY I HAVE. You'd think 10 days of anti-bs for the ear would have helped, but this started on the tail end of those. Uhg. He had enough good medically based arguments to convince me. I was going to have to telecommute a half day for appointments that day anyway, might just take another sick.

The thing is, I think this is going around. Sounds exactly like what he had a month ago, what my neighbor has now.

He also convinced me to start an aspirin habit. Hmm.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I found it. I found Beastie Boys slashfic.

I will never be okay again.

Sinus infection is not a ton of fun. Poor you!

Hooray for Grace!

Boo for sinus infection.

Also (while I am on a roll) Pumpkin just curled up behind a sleeping Loki and is passing out an inch from him. I think that's called progress.

I took piano for seven years, but I haven't touched it since college.

Yay for the fundraising success, msbelle! I hope the rest turns around soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, Grace!

Ugh, Sara. Go back to the doctor!!!

I'm TRYING not to be a typhoid Mary. Usually I get sick after I fly out for the holidays. No idea how the fuck this happened. Kat, feel free to tell me to find another place to infect stay if I haven't beaten this.

I had a weird virus that took over on Monday. I was stumbling and weaving and choking back nausea. On Tuesday I had to knock on my neighbor's door at 6am to drive me to emergency.

They admitted me, shoved in IV in my arm, and four hours later put me in a taxi and told me to get dramamine. I was out of work for three days, because I couldn't drive. It was like having all of the side-effects of a fifth of jack and none of the fun, "LEMME TELL YOU ALL WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOU!" moments. This morning it was completely gone.

Weird virus.
