Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Anne, allegedly, it's not a good idea to have alcohol while on antibios as it diminishes the effectiveness.

I don't remember if I posted about my unendurable leg pain here. I insisted on getting a study done. And thank god, I have a deep vein thrombosis. So, I get to give myself injections for the next week of lovenox plus coumadin. I really wanted xoteral but was shot down.

The nurse didn't want me to self inject. She said she wanted me to demonstrated that I could (I can and did) do it. Then I heard them talking about me coming back on tomorrow and every other day for injections. Oh hell no. I will just do it myself. Give me the meds. It was intriguing. But I guess all of those fertility injections were a learning experience.

Anne, there's no interaction between zithromax and alcohol. I wouldn't down a six pack, because your liver is already working hard, but a glass should be fine.

Wow, I'm glad you had it checked out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Jesus, Kat, glad you got the study!

Kat, eek! I'm glad you got that checked out. I'm also glad you can take care of the injections yourself.

Thanks for the info on the alcohol issue. I think I'm going to pass on the drink tonight, but I'll have myself a nice little treat tomorrow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Can Katie do it? I did all of Jason's DVT injections, but he is probably more freaked by that stuff than you are.

Yeah. She can. I mean, I did a week of hcg injections for myself to get pregnant and then I had to 14 weeks of progesterone injections twice a day. So I can do it. I'm just not excited about doing so.

The lights just flickered. We're going to lose power tonight. It's going to make Grace's machines beep if we lose power.

So we got a carton of a Starbucks iced coffee beverage at the store. Got it home, served some up, tasted it, looked at each other and said "Kahlua." Grabbed the Kahlua, added some, drank happily. It wasn't bad before, it was scrumptious after.

Wow Kat--how long had your leg been hurting??

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I've got the weekend to put together my thoughts on why my boss sucks eggs. Beyond the symptoms of the return of my nocturnal teeth grinding, tension headaches, migraines, anxiety dreams where argue with her and I punch her in the face and stuff her mouth with gravel (I haven't had anxiety dreams about colleagues since the evil ED) and develop a short temper more suited to the crazy and burnout that is more suited to April and May. She doesn't want to be in horticulture, age wants to tweet and Instagram and blog and Pinterest and send me funny cat videos and taint my love of Doctor Who.

I have months of concerns and grievances and I'm at the point if asking to be fired if the ED is too afraid to fire her. (She's his second hire, and the first was a disaster). It's that or take away her directorship and make her a secretary so she can continue to do the admin she loves s o much.

Shutting up now.
