I’ve heard of people ending up with crabs after sex… but never crab cakes.
There must be a first for everything tho, right?
Just 45 mins to go before home-time. I’m debating whether or not I want to go to yoga… my manager has been very high-maintenance today (more so than he usually is), so even though I want nothing more than to go home and unwind, I’d probably feel much better after an hour of nice, calming, mind-emptying yoga. It’s just a matter of talking myself into the gym, which won’t be easy.
:eek: What else did you think I was doing while I was gone? First the one and then the other… But I won’t say in which order.
And so, for my interesting story… (Entirely not related to my above comments.) It appears that my doctors and pharmacy may have been conspiring to do me in. Last week I had gone to my doctor for several things including heel pain. My doctor prescribed Lodine which is an NSAID (anti-inflammatory). I consulted with my psychiatrist this morning and the symptoms of lithium toxicity can include everything that’s been happening to me this week. And lithium toxicity can occur when you take an NSAID with lithium. Now, I feel that I should admit that I sorta already knew this. However, since IANAD, I thought that perhaps all NSAIDS were not the same and that this one was ok. I mean, why else would my doctor prescribe it, knowing what other meds I take?? :dubious:
Frighteningly, I know someone who had some sort of sexual activity involving leftover mac and cheese. :eek: I haven’t spoken with them since I found out this little nugget of insanity about seven years ago.
Good grief, Pie! If that’s Kaiser-Permanente you’re talking about - yeah, you cannot trust the docs, unfortunately. So ask if that NSAID can lead to the lithium toxicity, please.
Taxi, I kind of liked the first quilt although it is a bit “busy” for my tastes. Really like the colors!
Ooh, a pic of Mistress Scruffy! LOL I knew there’d be confrontations between her and the Taz over those “biscuits” - figures too that Mr. Taz is the instigator–he’s a bad 'un. Poor Bernie, though! Taz hasn’t hauled off and smacked her across the snout again, has he?! I suspect we’ll hear even further tales (tails? :)) from FairyChatEstates when daughter and son-in-law move in with their kitty, eh?
Ah yes, and I’m soooo happy it’s Firday! Thank you so much for that nickname, Haze - I like it so much, I’ve even used it a few times IRL, believe it or not. LOL
Not much on tap this weekend. I’ll get caught up on my reading by finishing off “Comanche Moon,” which I have really enjoyed, and starting something new (haven’t decided what just yet). A belated thanks to you, Rigs, for reminding me that I still want to read “Devil in the White City,” or whatever that book is named about Dr. Holmes and the World’s Fair in Chicago 1894. I may try my hand at baking some scones, we’ll see. And I think I’m going to make Rig’s fucking great cookies.
Heh. Today I wish I had Mob connections, rigs. Coulda used them. Work is one big frustrating lump. I got a LOT done, but I was crabby all day and am still rather pissed off.
I would ask a pharmacist about the medications, Pie. Most physicians get very limited training in pharmaceuticals and have a standard set of drugs they prescribe, so it’s pretty easy for them to prescribe something they shouldn’t if one of your meds isn’t on their standard list. Also, it’s helpful to go to the same pharmacy so that they have a record of everything you’re taking. Their programs and your insurance’s programs should be able to detect potential issues. Best thing, though is to find a really good pharmacist and just ask. I would ask every time someone prescribes a new med.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, beebs! (You are required to enjoy your birthday! So, there! :p)
I want crabcakes. And cookies.
Hi TA!
I like the second quilt better, but I’m also in the “they’re not really my taste” camp. I liked the ones that minnie linked to. (That’s who linked, right?)
Tired. Not all that hungry. Might be going to bed REALLY early tonight.
For some reason, I have been freezing all day. Shivering, teeth chattering cold. I have no idea why. It’s like I can’t get warm. Right now, I’m snuggled into flannel pj’s and wrapped in a down comforter–I’m still freezing. The only time I got close to warm today was in a steaming shower for like twenty minutes. Does anyone want some hot chocolate with extra amaretto? :: shivers ::
Yes, Chambana is indeed Champaign-Urbana. I have seen a lot of green shirted drunken undergrads today. But I also heard this: last year, campus police arrested 150 people during this little event (which now lasts 2 days, proving you can have too much of a good thing). Turns out that 50 were actual students, 100 were not even Chambana residents! :eek: makes you wonder…
I had a nice dinner with 2 of my grad school friends. I have class all day tomorrow, with a “working lunch”. Ugh. But then dinner with the rest of them (my friends, that is).
I like crab, but not crabcakes. Sorry. I cannot contemplate what type of sex would involve macaroni and cheese. I had mac and cheese earlier today and now I’m queasy. Thanks. (May I say I don’t care for either bed linen set, but I don’t like real busy patterns. If YOU like it–go for it. That’s all that matters).
I am off to bed soon–jammies and bad TV. This is living!
I don’t think that’s unusual for events like that. It happens here in Columbus and in East Lansing, where I grew up. I always wonder who these people are and why they’re partying with students…
Sleepy. Talked to brother while he was on his way home. He had a far better week than I did. Which is good, I guess.
Your creative writing abilities are…creative, beebs.
They’re friends of students from other schools (like my own Kid this weekend), or recent grads that can’t let go.
As a veteran of several Carbondale Halloweens, and knowing my kid like I do, and the people she’s with, I only worry a small amount. She has to get up and on her way back here for work, so it won’t be bad for her.
Oh my goodness! 13 hour workday today. I billed out 11 cars! A normal day is 2 or 3. People came out of the woodwork today which is good, but Og almighty, I’m tired. My throat is sore from talking so much.
I got home and turned on the 'puter, just cause I wanted to read the MMP, but got distracted by 2 - count em 2 TMI threads! I will shamefully admit that I looooove a good TMI thread.
I’m not sure how the conversation in here went from cookies the last time I checked in, to sex with crab cakes. :dubious:
Haze, which season of Dex are you watching? I’m having a blast systematically converting everyone I know into serial killer lovers.
But I won’t say in which order.
So ask if that NSAID can lead to the lithium toxicity, please.
