I need to go out and pick up the piles of leaves that have been sitting around and the sticks so I can mow, because it's mowing season finally.

Also Mom is going to be here Tuesday evening. I cleaned the bathroom. I need to do dishes and pick up stuff and vacuum. My place never got Hoarders bad, but it did get pretty bad. I got to the stock pile of dirty dishes but I made a new pile and the sink needs to be cleaned. She's not expecting clean but it would be nice if it weren't gross.

I discovered ants in the bathroom. They seem localized to the tub and sink so I think they are looking for water (the state is on a burn ban until the 19th because it's so dry). I've killed a few and now I have to figure out how to get rid of them without potentially poisoning anyone or the cat.

I go back to work next Monday. Which is freaking me out a bit.

And I've been playing around with a self paced class on HTML/CSS. It's got other languages but I started with that one. I tried a class through edX on Java but the instructor bothered me. I found one without an instructor and it's been good, not indepth and I'm probably racing through it too fast.

I should add that the sugar was TOTALLY worth it. I had a lemon meringue milk shake from Good Stuff Eatery that was practically a religious experience. Plus some fries.

My Greenlite meals ship tomorrow. Then it is firmly on the wagon for me!

Best of luck with the drug and the wagon and the glayvin, bonny!

I succumbed to craving yesterday and got a strawberry shake from Boomer's. Oh my, huge chunks of macerated fresh strawberries clogging up my straw, hard-packed vanilla ice cream, and the titular milk. I have to have one at least annually.

I love when strawberry stuff has berry bits in it.

Thanks Beverly!

That sounds like a pretty dreamy shake, too.

Either the drug did work (though not all the symptoms are gone) or my milkshake did the trick and blew out my cravings. Today, no need for sugar.

Phew.

That sounds like a pretty dreamy shake, too.

My experience with Diflucan for a YI is that it took about 2-3 days to really get rid of all the symptoms, though I noticed some improvement in the first day. But since human bodies are weird, and each one is different, my experience is just anecdata.

Totally swear I didn't plan this, but the movie I got from Netflix yesterday had abortion and actual child murder in it(Copper, which I really liked when I started it, but haven't watched for a few weeks because there is a great deal of police brutality in it also, which doesn't seem like good fun anymore for some strange reason) Anyway, happy mother's day, y'all.

This is what I am hoping for. The symptoms are decidedly better today, though still not gone.

I'm taking a bath with salt and baking soda, as recommended online to get some additional relief. I know, I know...internet wisdom. Except that I take these baths all the time and I really need to relax so...giving it a shot.

Didn't eat any sugar or yeasty stuff today.

Hopeful.

I gave a final exam to a student today (she'd been away at a lacrosse tournament during the regular exam time), and I graded it and submitted her grade, and now I am DONE with the semester.

Next task: get apartment clean, and clean out office, and get new job, and find apartment in city where new job is, and move to that apartment, and start new job. Either that, or get apartment clean, and clean out office, and don't get new job, and put stuff into storage and go live with parents until find new job. But I'm really hoping it's not that option.

And my mother wants to know if I can go to my cousin's college graduation party in Massachusetts in June. I cannot make plans that far ahead. (Also, I barely know this cousin, though there are some other cousins who I do know and like who will be there.)

Remember the pinup photo shoot I did last year? Tim is doing one this weekend. I'm excited for him! I've also never seen him wear makeup*, so this will be a new thing. Maybe kind of weird, though, because I'm used to him being cross-dressed but with no makeup.

*(His comment about not wearing makeup is that it already takes him a ridiculously long time to pick out an outfit and get dressed, so if he added makeup to that, too, it would take him 3 hours to get ready. Which is true.)
