No rest for me today. I would have been better off going out and getting a coffee. We said good-bye to our wonderful sitter, who is graduating and heading home.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Do you need to use any special cleaner for them?
Not according to the instructions, but I do throw in a splash of Bac-out every few washes. (Basically following the same regimen I used to do with my kids' cloth diapers.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, Plei and Jess. They've got a 60-day trial thing, so I may take advantage of that.

I had my physical today and will have a colonoscopy iin my near future, though she suggested waiting until after my foot is healed. We also have a plan to deal with my increased stress/depression for the short tterm. I adore my doc.

Please get your colonoscopies, friends!! The prep is gross but it's just a few hours of your life.
Joining the chorus on this one. I had my first colonoscopy at 40 and they found a polyp, so had my second at 42. Which - ugh. But no more polyps after that so now I'm on the every 5 years or whatever it is cycle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I put my first colonoscopy off a little -- I was 51. The day of fasting wasn't as bad as expected as long as I was able to drink bouillon. I'll also say that "clean-out" wasn't as bad as expected, but that's as much because of my expectations as the experience. I was out for the procedure itself. And Hubs and I have a deal -- we go out to lunch afterward, and he who had the colonoscopy decides where.

If I could drive myself home, I'd schedule the damned thing, but I don't want to have to impose on someone.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had blood tests done yesterday, and my doctor just called because one of my results was off. She had a bunch of questions for me, and she wants me to get that test redone, and I was stupid and googled what that test means. I should wait until I get the second test and the results come back before I start worrying. Right?

Our wings are not tired.
Yes. Dr. Google is not your friend. There is a good reason they retest. Long lists of stuff can throw off tests.
