Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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

I've also done the cram pillows under my legs thing that Trudy suggested.

ION, the drive on my 9 y.o iPod is starting to make a clicking noise when I turn it on or connect it to my laptop. This is ominous, and I'm probably going to need to start looking for a backup, dammit. I don't want an iPod Touch! I just want an iPod that has a lot of storage space and only plays music, is that too much to ask?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I still miss my 40 GB iPod Classic.

Hil, I'm so sorry you are hurting.

Hil, I'm very sorry about the pain.

WS, lots and lots of uncoughing~ma.

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.

Hil, I hope you hear from your doctor soon so you can get some relief.

Thanks, Shir, and everybody. I was able to get a good night's sleep last night.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I already know the answer (call the doctor), but I just want to complain for a minute so people will tell me "Poor baby! No one has known such misery!" (Maybe melodrama will cure me. Who knows?)

I've had this sinus infection for at least 4 weeks, probably 5, and it's possible that's actually a continuation of the sinus infection I had at Christmas, which was only 8 weeks ago. Now that I type all that out, it seems kind of likely.

Anyway. I finished antibiotic #2 yesterday (pray for my microbiome), and I still feel like hammered crap. This is bullshit. And also, I just want to feel better. I'm exhausted all the time, my face hurts all the time, and when I talk, I sound like I'm in a garbage can. Bah. I suspect my doctor will want to see me, which is fine. I feel like at this point, they should culture my snot to see what exactly is camping out in my sinuses so they can treat it properly.

Okay. Again, the proper response is: "Poor baby! No one has known such misery!"

Thank you for indulging my need for melodrama. (But I really do feel horrible. I'm starting to forget what feeling well was even like.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sinus pain is the worst, and two months of it is beyond unfair.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Teppy, poor baby! No one has known such misery!

My cough is still with me, no nasal stuffiness, no fever, just a deep kinda wet cough. I messaged my doc about getting Tessalon Perles, which I've taken before. I reminded her that I just had my surgery and am minimally mobile outside my house. I got a response from someone else in the office saying I needed to come in for an appointment. Arrrgggg. So, I'm going to wait it out some more. At least I'm sleeping at night, loud snoring and all.

Okay, message sent to Awesome Doctor. I'm worried this will mean seeing an ENT -- worried only because I feel like it would take forever to get an appointment, but maybe not. Fingers crossed for some damn thing that will work, and soon.

Poor baby! No one has known such misery!

Really, that does say it all.

Me, I have "When I'm 64" stuck in my head. Because 2 days....
