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

Strewing garlic flowers around couldn't hurt

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Didn’t help Lucy.

Urgent Care doctor thinks it's a bad sinus/pharynx/throat infection. I got a steroid shot for the swelling, and Rx for 2 weeks of antibiotics and prednisone.

Tim is cancelling tomorrow's lung surgery and trying to get an emergency appointment with a retina specialist at the Midwest Eye Institute. Shit is crazy.

Helped her 'til her mother got rid of them. Just saying.

I hope all the surgery postponing and arranging works out! Jeesh.

I'm going to keep my mom out of my house, then!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Urgent Care doctor thinks it's a bad sinus/pharynx/throat infection. I got a steroid shot for the swelling, and Rx for 2 weeks of antibiotics and prednisone.

Bad timing, throat!

I got a steroid shot when they diagnosed me with strep and it felt better by the next day, so hopefully you'll get quick relief.

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

I hope the steroid shot helps right away, Tep, and good luck to Tim.

I’ve been at the library bookstore for nearly 3 hours with only two customers who didn’t buy much. 10 minutes until I’m out of here and I have the wandering costumer looking at everything.

Puffy jaw is less puffy already, so that seems promising. Still waiting to hear about an eye appointment for Tim.

I ate some self-pity pumpkin ice cream.

Mmm, self-pity pumpkin ice cream sounds very good. Glad there is less puffiness, hope other improvements also manifest all over the place.

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

Timelies all!

Sorry you've been dealing with so much crap, Steph.

So, things did not go to plan. First, Mr. S was sick, with some sort of flu that was going around his school, so we did not go to my MIL's house. (She sent food, which was nice) Then Gary got sick so we didn't go over to her house for services. (The nanny picked up Mr. S and took him to her house for a few hours.) We ended up "breaking the fast" early(I was the only one who actually fasted, since Gary was sick and had soup) after which Mr. S wanted to go outside. We told him no, but he ran out anyway and had a meltdown when Gary tried to bring him in. (He trashed a couple of a neighbor's potted plants, which led to a visit from said neighbor who berated us for not controlling him-not helped by his refusal to apologize.)

Both Gary and Mr. S went to sleep early, and Mr. S went to school today.
