If I could have it I would, but with the bladder issues I can't risk it. So the only things I've been drinking are water and milk with the occasional peppermint tea. I did have a rootbeer the other day just because I was having some serious cravings and figured a caffiene free soda (I checked the label) would be better than diet coke.

I hate my sinuses. They hurt all spring and summer from the pollen, then I get maybe a couple of weeks in the fall after the pollen is mostly gone but before the leaves have started falling. Then, once the leaves fall and dry up and blow around everywhere, that sets off my allergies, too. And then it gets cold and the cold air hurts my sinuses, and then I turn on the space heater and the dry air hurts my sinuses, and now I've got a space heater and two humidifiers going and I just want to have more that a couple weeks a year when I don't feel like the inside of my head is on fire. (It's better when I'm at my parents', because they've got decent insulation that keeps the pollen and the cold outside, and central heat that doesn't dry up the air like my space heater does.)

does anyone have suggestions for thin, yet warm fingerless gloves I could wear while typing? The computer room is poorly insulated and freezing and my hands are always freezing.

askye, I used to wear those very stretchy knit gloves...the ones that look small but stretch to fit...when I was a receptionist at a company and the wind from the front door was cold and constant. I could keep typing in them.

My husband has the same problem, askye. I cut the tips off a pair of those stretchy knit gloves quester is talking about and carefully seared the loose edges of the fingers with a lighter to seal the threads.

Need a new corset for an event called "Carnival Bedlam -- An Evening of Steampunk Horror" Corsetstory doesn't have what I want (lots of steampunk, but I want grey or silver). Any suggestions for a good site?

I keep looking for those around here but I only find thicker ones. I may check online and see if anyone has them. You'd think they'd be easy to find but it looks like full gloves that you can use with cell phones or tablets are more popular grab and go items.

I tried to sleep. Too cold, and when I did fall asleep for a little while, I had the dream where it's the end of the semester and I realize I haven't been to class at all. WTF, brain?

Try Timeless Trends: [link] t edit I've bought corsets from them, and while they're off the rack, they're pretty decent, though they're best suited for an hourglass shape.

So I need a little medical~ma for 10:30 today. I'm going into see my GP and see if she'll prescribe my medication while I look for a new psychiatrist so I don't have to see my current one. I actually cancelled on the current one (forgot I had an appointment today) and incurred a fee just to be seen. BUT Good news the practice has an Nurse practioner who is now takig my insurance so I'm seeing HER in 2 weeks. Not sure if I'll like her any better and so maybe some Like the New Psych Med prescribe~ma is in order as well.

But my insomnia is really bad, as in I was up until 3 am this morning and I was having anxiety all night about seeing Dr. C and trying to justify asking for sleep medications and confront him over the fact he screwed up my prescriptin last month. I had refills so I wasn't going to deal with it until I saw him becuase I don't feel comfortable dealing with him over the phone.

It's like a belated Epiphany miracle!

And as a bonus my GP is next to my soon to be ex dentist office, so I can go over there and request a records release to my new dentist who I'm seeing next Thursday and cancel whatever appointment I have. I'm concerned because I'm having mouth pain on my right side - kind of similiar to what I started having months ago with the tooth I lost. When I called the new dentist and asked for a full mouth x ray they were like "Well you're a new patient! of course we'll do that."

The soon to be ex dentist did not do that. They only do full mouth if there's a "Compelling reason". You'd think going 4 years without a cleaning would be a compelling reason.

....I'm also really really sleep deprived and kinda hyper over this. It's probably a good thing I can't have caffiene
