When is Thing 2 due, Kate?
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
sj, you are going through a super tough time and this is a safe place to vent. I really wish things were easier for you.
Fred Pete, I hope you and the doc get it figured out soon!
I totally levelled up in Adulting today. Got out of work at lunch (no work and I'm not going to dick around on company dime when I can dick around at home, paycheck be damned). Came home, fixed lunch, and started watching Outlander while I ate it. Finished the episode while crafting throws for the parade that is still over six months away. Here's the super awesome part, imagine sound effects and maybe a cascading coin sound: I stopped after one episode, and despite website annoyingness and stressful decisions switched my car insurance to USAA, cancelled my old insurance, and opened a damn Roth IRA account. Finally.
And now I'm off to yoga.
Go me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The school where I interviewed last week wants me to come for a campus interview. I really hope this one works out.

Go, smonster! You win at Adulting today.
I mainlined a bunch of episodes of Dig today as part of the effort to clean off the DVR before we get rid of cable. While also flattening out the six boxes of crumpled newspaper that the tea things were wrapped in so that they fit in the recycle bin.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ginger, Thing 2 (aka Seabiscuit, not to be confused with Liese's Seabiscuit) is due July 9th. It's been a relatively easy pregnancy so far, but I am definitely getting to the point where my walk is more of a waddle, and it's hard to find a comfortable position for sleeping. (It does seem cruel that when you most want to tank up on sleep in preparation for the arrival of a newborn, your body conspires against you.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay you, smonster!
Good luck, Hil!
I laugh, because I have a paradoxical reaction to almost any medication.
I laugh with you. I've baffled my doctor with my upside-down reactions to the BP meds he's tried me on. Diuretics, for example, are not supposed to make you retain fluid until your feet swell.
I found celery seed to be an effective natural diuretic, which annoyed him, because he doesn't believe in "herbs and flowers" as medicine. I said, "The fun thing is, it works whether you believe it or not," which annoyed him further.
Oh, speaking of my annoyed doctor, I finally got him to run the dang test for thyroid problems (the full, anti-thyroid something something test). And it came back normal. So, whatever my problem is, it probably isn't thyroid, so I'm Letting. It. Go.
(I wanted it to be thyroid, so I'd have (a) an answer, and (b) a solution. But no.)

Most of my issues were anemia, which was blissfully easy to mostly fix. Yay, iron!

Kate, I'm glad your pregnancy with Seabiscuit is going so well. I'm starting to notice changes in the way I walk as well.

And I'm sorry yours has been so difficult, sj! I have a lot of sympathy for what you're going through. Even an easy pregnancy has plenty of discomforts and indignities, let alone what you've had to deal with. I think you're handling a tough situation really well.
