Yeah. Around here, a good soaking rain smells like wet dog. Uhg.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The rain doesn't smell right here either. On the other hand, just the air smells really good a lot of the time. So it's a trade off I can live with but I miss the rain smelling like rain should.

Rain doesn't really smell like anything here most of the time. Though a few weeks back we had a startling warm couple of days and then around nine one evening, crash and boom of thunderstorms. Those smelled good.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Peanut butter mushroom soup.

I've never heard of such a thing. Huh. Off to google--thanks!

But do ulcers or indigestion give you a fever?

I missed this earlier, but...um. When my brother had bleeding ulcers and before he was put on a diet of liquid lidocaine and gallons of maalox, he ran fevers.

Which he took while eating all of the spiciest of New Orleans' offerings. And drinking it. I had to carry the bottles in my purse. So.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm glad I was mostly too busy to be here today, because I spent the day trying to convince myself I wasn't really hungry.

I like chocolate chips more than ita does, but agree they are best when they are gooey.

Raisins have ruined the oatmeal cookie.

and everything else, for that matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fingers crossed for something prilosec-vulnerable. I'm just freaked out by a fever (100), because I haven't had one in so very very long, even when I was definitely sick--appendicitis 98.6 degrees, hepatitis 98.6 degrees. Strange midnight stomachache? 100 degrees? Why? This is silly.

Batman resubmitted, Jesse.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

For years, when I laid down at night, I had terrible stomach cramps and nausea. I had all kinds of tests and was told it was all in my head. Then chemo escalated it to the point that I was washing down Tums with Maalox. My oncologist prescribed Prilosec, and all those symptoms have been gone since then. It's the good side of cancer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I posted right away this time, to be on the safe side, ita.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Peanut butter mushroom soup.

Two nasty things that go together nastily. Also, ew.

They can create tears that can lead to small infections, so I'd say it's entirely possible. Though I understand you being concerned since you rarely run temperatures.
