I was just trying to avoid antibiotics if possible, but yeah, puffy face is slightly alarming. And I'm not sure if my doctor will be open tomorrow, so I could wait, but OTOH, I have puffy face. And I kind of love the people at Urgent Care. For real. They actually provide excellent care.

I would definitely go, Steph. That is what UC is for

Go to the doc! Suffering is not virtuous! Thumb your nose at any Puritanical ancestry you may or may not possess!

I'm here. And sobererer than I was last night. Need to get clothes on and go to the grocery store; in a little while, Nora and maybe a couple of other folks are coming over to beglitter purses as throws for the Nyx parade.

Jesse, have fun in TX! Jealous of your hang time with msbelle and DJ.

I get wanting to avoid antibiotics. I woke up hurting so bad on New Years Day that I just wanted to sleep for two weeks. But since my entire office had been sick and I have allergies and asthma, I was pre-treating like a mofo. I managed to avoid a secondary bacterial infection though the bronchitis was less than fun. But I'm the only one in the office who did. Probably because due to the severe allergies and annoying asthma, I had most of the stuff a doctor would have given me already. A sinus infection would have me hitting urgent care fast. They suck.

I'd say go to urgent care, Steph. If your face is getting puffy and your eye hurts, you don't want to mess around with that.

DX, maybe just a slash instead of a comma?

Latitude/Longitude is totally my OTP. It took a long time for those crazy kids to get together.

Sinus infections are Serious Business, Teppy.

I, for inexplicable reasons, woke up without an alarm at 6:15, which is on the dark side of sunrise. I was going to go do a trail at the volcano, but the air quality will apparently be pretty bad until the trade winds shift, so I think I will put that off.

I just spent an hour constructing the Paw Patrol helicopter from recycled cardboard. Someone should have warned me I'd need an aeronautical engineering degree to be a parent.

Debetesse, Katie bee and I once ran into terrible vog on that side of the island. I was going anyway, and the place where I used to stay in K-Kona was a little apt suite with an extra twin bed, so Katie came with me. She was checking out a plot of land in her family in that wild area that's kind if off the grid between hilo and volcanoes, makai of the main road. Good times. I need to check in with her again. Did not see or hear anything from my phone call earlier this week.

If I want other people to check in, I have to remember that reading and nodding doesn't count.

Last night I posted info on a Flickr group of ita photos on her thread -- Ginger "ita's thread" Jan 17, 2015 10:03:45 pm PST.

Timelies.

I thought of suggesting setting the lat/long problem in parentheses, (latitude, longitude), but then people might think they need the parentheses, which they don't and it would probably invalidate it. It may be you'll have to set it off in it's own little sentence or subclause such as:

or location in the format of: latitude, longitude

ION, I am drinking Tahiti flavored pur eh tea. I'm really liking the pur eh as it doesn't have the heavy tannins that other black teas have.
