This is not really a post on religion, though I do touch on the idea of good luck charms and other talismans most of us (of all walks of life and all religions) have. And it's not really a post on BDSM, though the things I am about to offer up started as a part of my first bondage experience - and I do have to talk about that briefly to explain ( Read more... )

I now have a doctor's appointment for 7:30 am on Saturday (ugh!). I can't deal with the ongoing asthma flares any more. Last night's attack was the second actual attack in a week, and I've been struggling with ongoing flare-ups for about a week and a half ( Read more... )

Ow.

Just Ow.

the knots in my back are still there, in full force. And they're giving me a headache.

I think I'll do SpiralScouts office hours from home. No phone that way, but I can get email and IM's and do some reading...

So, other than getting up way too early this morning (early enough to spend 20 minutes with my nebulizer and still make it to an early doctor's appointment), today hasn't been as bad as I thought ( Read more... )

Well, so much for feeling better.

I was actually a lot better - and then the asthma monster realized that I had been sick, and decided to kick my butt.

My asthma specialist is calling in prescriptions for enough drugs to kill an elephant, and will see me first thing in the morning - which, I might add, is a shitty way to spend one's birthday.

I'm having a generally bad day. (be prepared for the whiny-ness behind the cut)
