I'm having a pretty lousy day. Mostly I just feel like crap. Last night, I stayed up all night and was working on my thesis and then sort of had a breakdown in the middle of it, trying to figure out why I should even bother to finish the stupid thing because no one is going to want to hire someone who needs to take a day off every 5 weeks so she ( Read more... )

So, the problem with not posting right away after the New Year? You start to feel like your first HAS to be something cool and important and witty and the longer you wait, the higher the bar gets ( Read more... )

All right, so status update on my Captain: we're seeing much improvement. He's active (by which I mean 'bad'), is eating and using the litterbox with decent regularity (also, this whole episode has found me unnaturally concerned and/or excited by what my cat does in the litter box, why does every illness in this house leave me talking about bowel ( Read more... )

So, last night at a little before eight, I went into the dining room and saw two little puddles on bloody froth on the floor. I knew it was from Captain, since I'd separated him and Islay, so I immediately began freaking out, as you do when you see pools of blood on the floor. Quish was awesome, by the way, so props to her.

My mouth got me in big trouble today.

Remicaid Day. It took them three tries in three different locations to get the IV in my arm. They just couldn't find a working vein. Except the first location kept bleeding. So I've got this little pad of gauze on it and I keep bleeding through it and the nurse is all, "How come it wouldn't bleed like that when I had the needle in there ( Read more... )

I need to stop volunteering information. I got my Depo shot today and as the nurse was prepping my right arm for the injection, I said, "Boy, I'm sure glad you chose that arm! My left is still sore from my DTaP vaccine." She kind of Mmm-hmm'd and I added, "Fortunately, the H1N1 shot I got felt better in no time ( Read more... )

So, for my birthday, in addition to several gifts from various awesome people, I got to go to the doctor and get my yearly physical. Everything was going well--basically, I'm not sick with anything new or as-yet-undiscovered--until she glanced down at my sheet and asked me if I remembered when the last time I got my DTap shot. My answer was "Uhhh ( Read more... )

No, for once, not about Lunacon.

As everyone who reads this LJ knows, I am sick. At this point, I don't think I have a pre-existing condition anymore, I think I am one. If I had a dollar for everything wrong with me, I wouldn't have to worry about insurance anymore ( Read more... )

Google Docs just crashed. That's...sorta where I was storing the panels. You know, all those panels I was working on scheduling? I'm sure it'll be up soon enough but it's quarter after six in the morning and I still haven't gone to bed and I'm cranky and sleepy and wanna SLEEP but I can't cause I have a treatment tomorrow--well, okay, today since 6 ( Read more... )
