It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm concerned about your repeated infections. I hope you both can get yourselves built back up to strength so you don't keep having them. In the meantime, thank goodness for antibiotics.

Me too, Andi, me too.

I'm challenging myself to eliminate some of the issues/elements that may be taxing my system.

FYI, I'm starting my program this week and will be practicing on myself first!

More exercise, less sugar can't hurt.

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

askye, that may be an option. I was on a low level antibiotic through most of my pregnancy because uti's can cause miscarriage, and I didn't want to take that risk.

Even with Tylenol and Motrin, I'm running a low fever and am in pain. I wish I had gotten some good pain meds.

Thrive to spite them

sj I was UTI free for a year , which was exciting. But I've had 2 recently ..which doesn't surprise me considering the changes that happened. I'm going to call my urologist this week and make an appointment to ask to try the low dose antibiotic again.

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

Sittng in my new house, looking out into the backyard. It's going to be a great place, although right now we're in the middle of the "no furniture and sleeping on an air mattress" part of the process. We have a woodchuck living in the backyard!

Our wings are not tired.

Does he chuck wood?

When you can please post pictures so we can picture you in your new home.

~ma as needed. Tired here. Left for the hospital at 7 AM to try and catch the person arranging the move to rehab for step-dad. My sister and I waited 5 hours before we saw her. Ah, hospitals on the holiday weekend are so efficient. Anyway, hope to spring him to rehab tomorrow.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I could use some job~ma for Tim. He's decided to look for a new job, largely because his current job is too hard on his rheumatoid arthritis. This is a very good plan for him (and a necessary one), but the looming unknown freaks me out. And his job is the one that provides health insurance for both of us, so I'm nervous about him finding another job that provides health insurance (god damn this country).

So, I guess I'm asking for job~ma that he finds a job that's not hard on him physically, and pays well and provides health insurance. That doesn't seem like a lot to ask, but MAN, do I ever get spooked by uncertainties.

Job~ma to Tim.

Laura, continued ~ma to your stepdad and storm~ma for your family.

Yay, Scrappy. I'm loving it.

I'm feeling a little better. Mom is leaving in a bit. ltc still loves school, but boy does she come home hangry.
