[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.

Got through one class, sort of. Ended early, but covered all the essential material. I must have really looked like crap, since a student stayed after class to ask if I was OK.

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

Hil, I'm glad you are feeling better today. Have you considered changing jobs at all? I know that can seem like an overwhelming prospect, but it seems to me you would really benefit from being closer to a city with more health care options as well as options for things like grocery delivery.

If anyone here has taken clomid and is willing to talk to me about it either here or at my profile addy, I would really appreciate it. I am worried about side effects, especially with regard to depression, but I'm afraid I will freak myself out too much if I rely on Dr Google for information.

I am looking at new jobs for next year, and being close to a city is one of my requirements.

Good, I really hope you find something.

Thanks. Right now, I'm just trying to get through today. Two more classes to teach, then grocery shopping, then home, then synagogue if I can make it. Then definitely synagogue tomorrow, since I already missed Rosh Hashanah services this year because I was in too much pain, and I don't want to miss Yom Kippur too. I've also got a call in to my doctor asking if I can get an appointment sometime soon -- I'm scheduled for one at the beginning of November, but I think that steroid shots might help now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Having a bad brainmday.

One more class. I feel like hell.

Hil, sending tons of get through it ~ma to you. I hope you can get some food after you are done.

{{{WS}}} I'm sorry. Is there anything we can do?

I missed my opportunity to go out with a friend yesterday because I was too depressed and sore to get moving. So of course today I am bored and lonely and no one is around. I should get dressed and at least go out for a treat to cheer myself.

I'm sorry it's been such a hard holiday season, Hil. Hope you find time to rest and recharge.

Seems like people could use a good dose of coping~ma all around, but esp to Hil, WS, and sj.

If anyone here has taken clomid and is willing to talk to me about it either here or at my profile addy, I would really appreciate it.

I took what they call the Clomid challenge back when I was trying to conceive. I don't have chronic depression so I can't speak to how Clomid affects that. However I was going through a bout of depression then thanks to a lovely combo of stress/grief/broken thyroid, but I don't recall any effect on that. The main side effect for me was horniness.
