Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

May Lyrica work for you, Ginger, and also give you strangers with flowers.

I hope Lyrica works for you Ginger.

I made it close to half way through my shift before I had to go home. I just couldn't. The pain is different, instead of a knife stabbing me from below it's now a knife through my kidneys.

I did pick up my computer, I felt bad but they've had it a week and the system will get fussy and try to think it's abandoned if I wait too much longer. The internet speeds worked as expected.

Until I came home. I ran speedtest.net tests 6 times so far, the best was 40 mbps but everything after that has been 1 or 2 mbps and that's with the computer hardwired to the modem.

So I don't know what to do. I run the speed test on my chromebook and wirelessly I'm getting 80ish mbps.

It's not the modem or the router and they whole computer was checked over and tested. So I don't know what to do except go back and see if they have any ides or maybe can run a few more tests or have someone come out to the house so I can show them.

Ha, ha, excellent side effects, Trudy.

I'm having similar problems with Comcast internet. I'm getting speeds of around 4 Mbps, when I'm paying for 60-120 Mbps. That's on a wired connection. Wireless barely works at all. The first tech I talked to basically chewed gum and yawned at me. The second one, today, talked real fast and was nigh incomprehensible, but he was negatively impressed with the speed test, enough to schedule a technician to come out on Sunday to fix it. He promised it would be fixed before the guy left. Yeah, that's what they promised the last time. On va voir. I'm buying my own router and modem, should have done a long time ago.

I know it's not Comcast (although I blamed them first) because my Chromebook gets blazing fast speeds. So it's my computer.

Iw as going to try and play hearthstone to see how that worked, but I changed phones as well and have an Authenticator key on my account. When you change phones it messes with the way Blizzard reads the codes. I can't log into my account to change anything because it wants an authenticator code (which I can't supply) and their customer service is down for whatever reason.

My day sucks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I didn't get here soon enough to YAY GINGER! before, so I'll do that now, while I send hopes your side effects subside, already.

askye, here's hoping you get to see a shrink who can actually help you, and that the UTI gets better.

Theo, of course you're included in the job-wishing. Extra-strength.

Yay for CJ, too!

And the style geeking was probably more fun to read on catch up than in real time. You guys!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm so happy to read your good news, Ginger. So happy. May the Lyrica do its job for you smoothly.

askye, I wish you relief for your urinary tract and for your medication management woes.

A belated "Yay Ginger!" from me as well.

I called out today. I'm feeling betterm but still in some pain and I have tomorrow off so I think I'll be good to go then.

The store manager answered the phone and the first thing he asked me was if I was still in pain. I said yeah and I was calling out and then he told me to stop feeling guilty because my health is more important.

Now I need to figure out if I have leave time to cover this.
