Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The CCRs may also set a limit on the number/percentage of units that can be rented out.

Thanks, everyone. flea, I'll probably message you for that info once I start getting more organized.

I just went to the allergist, and got the whole litany of skin prick tests. So that was blah. She basically said that I'm already on pretty much every medication that I can be on for my allergies and asthma, so she wants to start me on allergy shots. I don't think I've ever gotten to the "You're on every medication that we could possibly give you" point before.

Also, I noticed that one of my distant cousins was listed on the list of doctors at this office. I didn't even know that he lived in Cincinnati -- I've only emailed with him. (He's my mom's third cousin, I think.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Achievement unlocked?

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

The skin prick test is a whole lot of no fun, but the desensitization shots can make a world of difference. I got them for 10 years.

The doctor said that, for dust mites (which is the thing I reacted most strongly to, by far), there's a new thing where I can do the desensitization with pills at home, rather than having to go to the doctor's office once a week for years, which is probably a better option for me.

Holy cow, this is very exciting news that I will certainly be contacting my allergist to hear more about!

That would certainly be more convenient.

Our wings are not tired.

I adulted! Made an appointment with the Gyn for the first time in mumble mumble years. I have a shiny new Medicare card and figured I would give it a workout, and get my PCP off my back. Also, ick, I hate those appointments. Hoping the kind reviews are real for this doctor. I wanted to go to the one who delivered my first son, but she is in Fort Lauderdale and I don't want to drive that far just to see her again.

No urgent issues or anything, just trying to be responsible and stuff.

Yay responsibility!

I have a nasty headache and just spent half an hour of a meeting lying on the bathroom floor trying not to hurl. Feel a little better now but still not pleased.
