Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy birthday, Pix and Maria!
vw, all fingers and toes crossed.

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.
So much less-stress~ma and more joyful, healthy pregnancy~ma to you and your DH, vw. It's wonderful to see your font, here or on FB.
Pix & Drew, I am so glad that the loan went through. What a relief for you!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
vw, that's exciting! I'm sorry it's stressful and scary right now. All my good vibes to you for a supremely healthy baby.
ION, I'm having an allergic reaction to one of the drugs for my sinus infection, and the problem is that I don't know which one. The NP gave me prednisone, which has never caused a problem before, BUT I have had an allergic reaction to other steroids (consider the irony of having an allergic reaction to something that's supposed to STOP an inflammatory reaction). So it could be that I'm reacting to the prednisone because it's in the same family.
But it could be the antibiotic, which would piss me off SO HARD, because I'm already allergic to a lot of antibiotics and it scares me a little to think how narrow my options are getting if I ever have a badass infection.
So I stopped the steroid this morning and took one more dose of the antibiotic (because I thought, at first, that the reaction was to the steroid; therefore the antibiotic would be "safe"). And now I'm loaded up on Benadryl and tired, itchy, and annoyed. (I seriously might take a third Benadryl; I am THAT itchy. No breathing problems, though, or anything else potentially life-threatening.)
Why so messed-up, body? Drugs are supposed to HELP you! Play nice with them!

Wow vw, congrats and also loads of ~ma for a safe and healthy pregnancy. I'm so glad to hear your OB is great. Makes such a difference.

Ugh Steph, that's such a bummer. I hope the benedryl does its job and the reaction clears up quickly.

It's just frustrating, because I feel like such a delicate flower, being progressively allergic to everything. Grumble. And itch.

I'm still not over the fact that allergies can appear at any time. It's a betrayal, I tell you. Then again, so is turning 40. I shudder to think what my 50s will bring.
Speaking of our bodies betraying us, I am beginning to develop an irrational/somewhat founded fear that I'm carrying some gene that predisposes me to cancer, and so I'm tempted to go on one of those radical anti-cancer diets, like a short term fast or a cleanse or cutting all sugars & carbs. There's a growing body of evidence that dietary interventions can help (but better for preventive care than treatment), but it also sounds kind of crazy to me. Also, the diets that appear to work are pretty radical in terms of their restrictions. I mean fasting for goodness sake! How long could I possibly endure a fast?!
