If I see Easter stuff in the stores, I may cry. Shouldn't Valentine's Day come first? (Not NOW, but before Easter stuff.)

Jesus fuck. I'm freaked out by the porcupine noises. They will haunt me.

I'm taking today off sick. I need an adjustment in my migraine meds. Two ER visits without mitigation, no sleep, not coping.

Jesus fuck. I'm freaked out by the porcupine noises. They will haunt me.

He sounds like a Skeksis!

I went to the Y this morning to work out. Got there and realized I left my sneakers sitting in the garage.

Had to come back but I'm waiting for a reporter to call me for an interview so I can't go back until later.

A friend of mine posted a FB photo of her six year old daughter wearing: a pink ruffled skirt, a gray shirt with the bat signal inside a pink and white heart with "BATMAN" written underneath in pink, blue and white letters, gray stripey tights and a Cindy Lou Who straight-up pony tail.

This child is Buffista born, I swear.

Oo, I love how that girl dresses, Cash. Franny's outfit today involved a kimono dress with a bright flower print over her red plaid pants. It looked quite fashionista, I was surprised.

And ita ! I'm so sorry to hear you feel so awful. I have a big meeting this am, but call or text me if you need me to pick something up for you in the afternoon.

Thanks, Burrell.

Unfortunately, I just realised that there's some stuff this morning that I'm the only one capable of doing at this short notice, so it's just a half day. Hmmph.

Ugh. Matilda is still having discomfort when she pees. We went to the doctor four weeks ago for this and she had a UTI and she took antibiotics and it went away.

She was very not happy about taking the medicine multiple times a day ("It tastes like dragon snot!") but she did. All better!

Wrong. Five days later she's got a rash down there and it hurts to pee again.

Back to the doctor. New sample proves to be negative. No UTI. The antibiotic killed off the good flora and now she's got a yeast infection. We get a new antibiotic too while we wait for the culture to come back, take that for a couple days then stop on doctor's orders when its not a UTI. And we get a creme lotion for the yeast infection.

But now it hurts again when she pees. The crying on the potty. The yelping. It's saddening and mysterious. Is it a new UTI? Is it the yeast infection? My big hope for xmas is non-traumatic peeing.

Oh, god, yeast infection at her age? Poor, poor noodle. That itch is one of Satan's inventions.

Aw, poor Matilda. And poor-Matilda parents. That sounds like a whole lot of no fun at all.

Having had a lot of pee drama with Taz lately (the only reason I bring it up is because it totally dominated our lives for 6 weeks so it's still fresh in my memory), I will say that you have a bit of an advantage with her being able to communicate her symptoms to you. Though of course that communication is stressful to all.

I hope Matilda's all better soon! That really sucks, especially at this time of year.
