So I mentioned I had pinkeye on Sunday? Well I still do, but now the entire side of my face is swollen along with a gland by my jaw I never knew I had AND the glands in my neck are huge. And I am so tired. I haven't been this exhausted since I had mono and I'm truly worried about finding the energy to drive home.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes! That doesn't sound good, Nonian. Have *you* called the doctor?

I really think ALL the Stephanies should be healthy. Damn it.
I just called the doctor and passed on all the info about my unwellness and chest soreness and cough and need for the inhaler, and either the doctor/nurse will call me back, or they'll just call another antibiotic in. I just hate to think I'm taking more antibiotics if I don't need them.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Smonster, i have had that reaction before and avoid the spermidical lube. Stinging and burning and running screaming into the bathroom does not make for awesome sexy time. I mean seriously, i'm already using a condom and BCP, i don't need to chemically destroy all the little sperms as well. Total overkill.

Trust my rage
I did - 3:20pm. I'm actually hoping it is something beyond a cold because I am seriously too tired to do anything.

Seconded. Health~ma to all the Stephanies.
Well, it looks like this PT is definitely over. The plan right now is to take advantage of the three weeks of free gym membership I get through PT, continue exercising as home, and reevaluate the situation with my PCP when I see her again in August.
So now the question is how do I motivate myself to exercise when I don't have an appointment or a schedule set for me? I'm notoriously bad at that sort of thing. Any advice welcome.

sj, per val's recommendation, I've been putting stars on a calendar for myself! It is surprisingly satisfying. Also, it's nice if you plan to spend time on a treadmill/elliptical/bike to go during a time when you can watch a tv show you like (maybe not one that needs a ton of attention)

Thanks meara. I'll keep those ideas in mind. I can't really do the bike or treadmill. My routine is more 5 minutes on this machine, 5 minutes on the next, etc as well as some free weights.

Would a podcast/book on tape be too distracting during that? I can see how it could be, but on the other hand, it might be entertaining.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, smonster, I feel ya, in the not-actually-groping way. I'm allergic to both latex and nonoxynol-9, and I can't take BCPs anymore because of that one blood clot that one time, not that I want to take the damn things ever again anyway, so... yeah. If I ever become not-NGA, there'll be an interesting discussion at some point. I don't even know what the alternatives are.
