OK, the stuff just arrived ! I have it safely put in the fridge. (Thankfully I have no small children now !) I have a whole package of stuff to read on this. Thank all of you for _holding my hand_ as it were. Now if y’all will just help me when it comes time for my first shot about midnight Monday night. I know how, I did it for 2 years, I’m just having a hard time convincing myself that I can do it some more. Putting a needle in my belly just isn’t something I can gey excited about, drat it ! I say to myself “Now Ayesha, you can do this !” and Ayesha says "Tell you what, let’s don’t and say we did " I say, now Aye, you know we have to do this, and Aye says “Oh yeah, well bite me” I hate to argue with myself, especially when I seem to be losing ! 😛 ---

Prayers? of course, in this case, I think I will turn, again, to St. Bridget, who as a pagan goddess/guardian of women, is also a Celtic Saint, seems just right. get well, girl. ---

Hope it settles down for you quickly, with as little damage as possible. I haven’t figured out in Wisconsin why the kids can get the hepetitis shots for free from the county programs, but the adults can’t. This is not based on income either. ---

OK, I changed my mind. Yes I have a mind to change ! So that I will have most of my weekends without side effects from the interferon part of this, I will do my shots on Sunday night, Tuesday night and Thursday night. Hopefully this way I will feel almost human for saturday and all day Sunday. So if you are a shot cheerleader help me do this to myself tonight ! The first is always worst ! Oh > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Blue Twylight \* > \*\*I’ll cross my boobs too, if it’ll help::: > Rose > \*\* I don’t know if it will help, but I know the guys would love to see it.
