*sneeze*
So the good news is I think the Augmentin has started to work. The bad news is it's manifesting this by giving me a fairly constant runny nose, some sneezing, and some watery eyes. Although I just realized I haven't taken my Zyrtec in a few days so it's possible these symptoms are allergies and not the antibiotic working...crap.
Well, I should know in the next couple days if the antibiotic really is working. The discharge papers said to follow up with my doc in a week or if I don't get better. I'll see how I feel the end of next week and if I'm not better I'll call the ENT. Or if it looks like I'm not having any relief by next Tues/Wed, I'll see what I can do. Dr. P the ENT usually can get me in within a day or two; it's just getting the time off work to go.
So I met Jen, the artist at Dragons of Heaven Tattoo. It went fine, I explained what I wanted, she said that was totally reasonable, and I made an appointment to go back on 1/20 to actually have the work done. She's going to work on the sketch for me and hopefully I'll see it before the session so I can suggest any changes. I have her email, so I'll send her a message in a few days.
If I like her enough, I'll go back for the paw print; that's going to be on my left ankle, and I figure as we adopt more dogs I'll add more paw prints going up my calf. Morgan is not thrilled about this idea but Morgan is not thrilled about tattoos period, which is most of the reason why I only have two so far.
I also--and this contradicts so many Jewish laws--want a tattoo of a Star of David with a chai in the middle. It works for me but I'm having a little trouble over the whole "No tattoos if you're Jewish" thing and especially not Jewish symbols, so...I don't know. But I want it. As sanders put it, it's not like God is going to say "Okay, so the cat was a little weird, but okay. The elephants are lovely. The quote is very cool. But this? THIS IS TOO MUCH. *smite*"
Also I think I know--if I get another quote--I want it to be "How do you write like you need it to survive?" Which is a quote from Hamilton, of course, but the first time I heard it I was just like "But that's it, that's my life. That's how I feel." It just really resonated with me, and continues to do so, and if I get another writing-related tattoo that may very well be it.
Other stuff: We're taking Buddy to the vet tomorrow morning so they can check his sutures and (we're hoping) give us the all-clear for him to chew again. Our plan is to go right to Mud Bay on the way home and buy him the biggest knucklebone they have. He's been licking his legs a lot, which granted he does, but I thought it was a little excessive. I actually thought he'd licked a couple patches raw on his forelegs but Morgan reminded me those were the spots the vet shaved for the IV and stuff. Right.
(That's right up there with my logging in to check our CareCredit account and freaking out because there's a balance on it when I swore I paid the whole thing off last month. Yes, becc, you did, and then Morgan used the CareCredit to pay for Buddy's dental work. Which we scheduled because we'd paid off CareCredit and Morgan was off work to take him in. It was even my idea...)
Writing: Has not been going stellar this week because of the sphenoid and subsequent migraine. My right eye is still occasionally doing this unfocused thing but I've learned to mostly work around it. I'm not actually losing vision in the eye, so I can force it to behave. I'm hoping to get a few solid word wars in tonight and maybe this weekend and that should help.
On the plus side, I figured out how to get past where I was stuck and I'm halfway into the next chapter of WC. I'm actually probably more than that, since I have a chunk that'll fit in once I match up the times. I'm hopeful if I can focus on it today I can get it done and posted.
