It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, we have all been there with the breaking of our new toy but it sucks to watch him go through it. He has been a really good driver. 5 years with only one minor thing. Now he gets creamed sitting at a light. Have to fight it too. Lady in big truck says he came out of nowhere when he was in front of her. Bother.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Laura, that really sucks. I'm sorry.

Askye, thanks. I'm trying to figure out if it would be less stressful to call the company and request a new therapist through them or call my insurance and look for someone totally new.

I dragged myself out today with Mom because the baby needs diapers (I ordered the wrong size from Amazon and had to send them back), but I'm still in a lot of pain.

Funny story from the pediatrician yesterday. The pediatrician looked at the blanket we had ltc wrapped in which is pink with white skulls and crossbones, and said to ltc "there are skulls on your baby blanket, is that for Halloween?" To which I replied for the baby, "no, that's just mommy's aesthetic." To say she looked confused would be an understatement.

A woman almost hit Mom's car head on coming around the corner while texting. If Mom hadn't beeped, I don't think she would have ever looked up at the road.

Always Anti-fascist!

My mom had that happen once too. She still talks about it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It was terrifying, and of course Mom and I were both more freaked out because of ltc being in the backseat.

Thrive to spite them

Penny is not a huntress. Either that or she really likes to stalk her prey. For the past day or so she's been acting weird and I finally realised...there's probably a mouse. No idea how it got in but she's been observing it I guess. I finally saw it and either she has injured it or it was just scared because it didn't move. It was hiding in a bag I dumped out because Penny was staring at it. At first I thought it was a play mouse and was like oh shit real mouse now what. Penny tapped it with her paw. I used the bag to scoop it up and put it outside. Odds are the neighbor's cat will get it but I won't have to deal with corpses or bits.

Unless there is another.

The status is NOT quo.

Paging Teppy: I took a regular small generic Claritan a few hours ago, and it just isn't touching my allergies. How bad would it be to take a Claritan D now?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Do you have any benadryl? If you do, I'd take that (you can take 2 at a time, but it might knock you out) and wait another 3-4 hours before taking Claritin D, just to space out the Claritin.

Despite what the box says, you *can* take Claritin and Claritin D twice a day for really severe allergies, but it's best to try to space them out, ideally by 8-12 hours.
