Good lord, Sophia. Shouldn't there be a bunch of health care available right near your job, or is that not how it works?
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Because books.
That is a shitty day, Consuela. Booze later? And chocolate?
Sophia, the receptionist really should call for you, because they can usually get things scheduled sooner if it's urgent. Or is there another dermatologist you could try?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
somehow I have to find a dermatologist to be seem by in the next couple of days, because my doctor thinks it is fairly serious.
If your doctor thinks it's so serious, then he needs to do something to get you in to a dermatologist. He's got to know you can't just walk in to a specialist's office with no wait.

Sophia, the receptionist really should call for you
We just went to e-record, so what she does is submit a request on the computer for them to call me. I am not sure that that works as well as a phone call.
They haven't called and are now closed, so I will call tomorrow and also will call the other dermatologists.
I also had blood drawn, so even though I have no other symptoms, if I have an infection it will show and I guess he will call in antibiotics. Apparently, if it is the mild form, and the instigating things (drug or infection) is removed, it resolves in 2 - 6 weeks and he does not want to give me steroids unless absolutely necessary because of my "pre-diabetes", which he is back to calling it.
Oh, and Jesse- I can see the healthcare from my office! Maybe I should show up in person to make an appointment!

Oh god, I forgot about Nancy.

I'm not sure that's necessary -- you're not diabetic now, and if steroids will clear it up, that's the way you have to go. As soon as you stopped using them, they wouldn't affect your blood sugar anymore anyway. I had shots for Ben's lungs when I went into preterm labor with him, even though I had gestational diabetes at the time. As long as you're monitored, it would be fine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I find the one where they are artsy mothers and a daughter totally inexplicable--what is it called--9 Chickweed Lane. I can't tell any of the characters apart.

9 Chickweed Lane's got a cat, so I enjoy it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for the good news, ita!
The thing that bugs me about 9 Chickweed Lane is the total and complete lack of chins on any of the characters. Okay, maybe one guy has a chin, the beefy ballet dancer, but that's it.
The two I can never tell apart are the mom and the daughter in Foxtrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thank you guys very much for the exultation. My first birthday present to my mother will be a (carefully redacted, CIA's-got-nothing-on-me) threadsuck of Natter.
I'm leaving the thread name in, though. She's a big girl. She'll deal.
I hope--omg, is this how she finds out I'm a crack whore???
Matt, if such a thing should come to pass, 51% of me is sure I want not just to hear about it, but EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. 49% thinks ignorance is bliss.
