Sorry I disappeared. Decided to get offline and try to de stress. Not sure it worked. I just woke up because I'm itching like mad. Thanks for the support.

I hope the vertigo dissipates, Steph.

Consuela, may the antibiotics work.

Sara, just a whole lot of ugh to all of your current situations. I hope your knee heals quickly.

I do the same thing with my mother, Andi. Good on you for sticking to your guns.

Itching sounds like a lot like stress icing on a stress cake. Of course, no one actually wants a stress cake. I hope you find a way to refresh yourself, Maria.

The thing with the seatbelts is very much a "give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile". If I let people undo their seatbelts in the driveway, pretty soon, they're undoing them up the block.

Up. Brain still too busy. Morning shopping for necessities, afternoon with ex-neighbor friend, swim, evening with her at another friend's. Then time change, housecleaning, swim, manicure. I'm tired already. Which I shouldn't be, but it's morning and I just want to nap with the cats.

Timelies all!

Hugs and ~ma to all who want/need them.

I'm less dizzy, but still a little dizzy. Also feel like a hippo is sitting on my sinuses, so I think the connection is pretty clear there. I'll stick to sudafed and the neti pot over the weekend and call the doctor Monday.

Stuff is blooming and my allergies are on the attack. My eyes are so itchy I want to remove them from my head and put them in a vat of benadryl.

At the airport 2 full hours before flight. I am so wound up, but avoided actually being sick this morning (travel anxiety has been that bad the last few years). Once I calm down enough I have the guidebook to read and I will map out potential schedules for Sunday afternoon and Monday. Planning is soothing.

Mac stayed up most of the night so I expect him to crash once wer are on the international flight out of Chicago.

Ugh, have a scrape of unknown origin on my calf that now appears to have gotten infected (ANGRY red diamond-shaped discoloration, minor touchiness). I'm gonna give it the weekend with careful cleaning and Neosporin, but if it doesn't look better by Monday I'm going to see about it at Urgent Care.

Travel~ma and health ~ma, Buffistas!

I'm still sick but feeling better. I need to eat, not hungry, don't want to cook or leave house. Thinking of caving and getting pizza.

Good call, Matt. I hope it yields to home treament.

Safe travels, msbelle!

Wishing people much betterness

and I cut off all my hair and got purple streaks. I can't belive how happy the purple is making me
