It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Like go swimming? Because if I feel this normal tomorrow after I take it when I get home, I just might.

That weird feeling you might have just started experiencing is me, giving you the STINKEYE all the way from Ohio. Don't go swimming when you're on opiates for acute pain. If you can't work or drive while taking it, swimming is right out. Seriously, please avoid bodies of water.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

lisah, totally worth it! You and Bob should be just taking weekend trips anywhere Southwest flies!

Sara, what La Tep said. Please don't. The pool will be there after you're off the hydrocodone.

sarameg, first, I'm sorry that you have the plague. Kids and I have it now and I just spent my lunch hour on the phone with Grace's pulmonologist.

Also, gallstones. ACK. OH NO. I am so so so sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

sara, thirding that. Please do not go swimming.

What about oral Benadryl, Sheryl?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sheryl, how about calamine lotion?

sarameg, sorry about your ginormous gallstone, see if you can keep it and make jewelry. Glad the drug is easing your pain but please do not swim! Do not do anything, in fact. Just lie on the couch and stare at the tv. Or the ceiling. Be safe.

Cannot even engage about OSU. So sad, so mad, so weary.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Yeah, I'd hold off on the swimming.

Hydrocodone made me feel so good that when I came back from surgery to move my ulnar nerve, I started pulling weeds in the yard. With the arm that had just been operated on.

So, no.

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

There are benadryl creams, also, which I have found useful for highly localized stuff like that. And cover with gauze or a bandage or something. Maybe clean with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol or witch hazel or something first - I usually do that but I don't know if it actually does any good, I just figure if there is still irritant on my skin, get it off.

You overestimate the motivational effects on me; an hour later, I was asleep.

Oh thank god.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Benadryl cream hasn't worked for me in the past, and I don't know if we have any oral Benadryl. I'm going to slather some Aquaphor on the affected areas, just to let them heal.
