Glad your appointment went well, Jilli.

My migraine is down to about 25% of what it was. Acupuncture was okay, I guess. A couple of the needles in my neck hurt the whole time, and I still had the headache when they took them out so the doctor cracked the absolute shit out of my neck. It was a little scary, actually. They want me to go back 3x a week at first. Yeah, no can afford. Not sure I'll go back at all. I prefer my PT.

That was the worst migraine I've ever had. I thought of ita quite a lot over the last few days. I would have gone completely mad in her shoes. Just, unbearable.

Ugh, smonster, that sounds rough. I'm glad you're taming it.

Crying is okay at the psych office, i'm pretty sure they expect that.

My regular doctor scheduled a follow up appointment for me (follow up from being in the hospital) I think it's this week but i need to call and double check. When I do I'm going to ask her to look at my right ear. It's been bothering off and on since right before I was discharged. Doesn't quite feel like the ear infection but I'm worried that is what it is. I just don't want another round of antibiotics. However, I do want to feel better.

Although I could probably ask my psych nurse practioner because she does physical health stuff as well.

smonster feel better.

Jilli, good luck with the med changes.

askye, feel better.

Oops, I have spent way to much money on ltc this month and on a few books for myself. I must reign in the stress spending.

Oh, argh. just got stuck on twitter with Mr. "I'm White and Something Unfair Happened To Me And Mine, so Racism? Meh."(Dad? no. Kidding.) Hate, hate. Deray is even more my hero for not developing a drinking problem or similar. It's the overall picture, dingus. His gambit of branding me an out-of-touch princess has just failed(Actually, that part kind of tickles me, except for the part where it kind of reminds me that I've had a weird life where a lot of tough things happened.)

Ugh, erika.

So, what am I supposed to put on an August baby to sleep in? All the baby pajamas seem so warm for August? Is it safe to just put her in a onesie or does she need the warmth of swaddling or actual pjs. The "I'm so not prepared" panic is starting to set in.

StE wanted nothing more than a draft-free bassinet, a diaper, and a tee shirt, with arms and legs flung wide. In December.

StY wanted the nightgown with the drawstring, the kimono over that, and wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, with two more blankets rolled up on either side of him. In December.

She'll tell you what she likes.

The thing that I do that keeps dumb twitterers off-balance? Rather than verbal ju-jitsu, it usually is "I'm sorry. Tough break."

Ugh. Really irritating vegan fat-shaming article from a few years ago is making the rounds on Facebook again. Pretty much says that, if you're vegan and you're fat, then people will be so distracted by your hideous appearance that they won't listen to anything you have to say about animal rights, and so, by being fat, you are failing the movement. I cannot stand this stuff. My weight and my ethical choices have nothing to do with each other, and anybody who sees a skinny vegan and thinks, "I'm going to go vegan so that I can look like her!" isn't going to stay vegan long, anyway.

She'll tell you what she likes.

This makes sense but doesn't really make me feel prepared.
