They usually have a pretty good selection at any drugstore.

Amazon (and google in general) has made library rats of us all! Its the same as rooting thru the old card catalogues. But different. How did we SURVIVE in previous decades??!!

Yeah at one point, i was keeping two separate trays, one for scrips, one for supplements (which are sometimes HUGE!). The scrips i filled monthly (4 rows of 7), the supplements every two weeks (two rows of 7).

I started this after watching my mom confuse HER pills. She was like, "well if there is an even or odd number left in the bottle, that means i did or didnt take it today." Honestly my head exploded!

Started my therapy homework. I think sometimes the first step (getting started) is the hardest! Dr. K wants me to journal about what makes me depressed and what makes me feel better when I am depressed. I'm giving myself bonus points already because I didn't say, "I don't know!"

I don't know why T's like homework so much. Pastor T used to give me like 4 assignments in a week. It was way too much homework.

That sounds like a case of "the cure is worse than the disease." My nose burned just reading that. Pretty sure it would clear you out though!

Yeah, I've never heard of it but I can pretty confidently say it isn't worth $500. Couch 227 - The Safe Couch

Yeah, that's what I think. I was thinking about getting one for my sister, because I saw it advertised on TV and it looked pretty cool. Then I looked it up on the website and my jaw dropped. Sheesh. That's a lot for a straightener.

This is why I switched all my meds to extended release and night time. I kept forgetting to take certain ones or missed certain times. Now I keept them in a bag next to my bed and take them all when I sleep. The prn's are also there just not in a bag. It's great taking them mostly at night not just so I can remember them, but also because I skip all the nasty side effects (i.e. dizziness, stomachache, etc.).

Pretty much anything Dyson is ridiculously expensive. The vacuums are good, but haven't tried any other product from them because difficult to justify the price

This is my dream pool.

I would imagine a cloth mask in a swimming pool would restrict breathing when it became wet and plastered to one’s face. It also wouldn’t filter very well.

Speaking as one with naturally curly hair, hair straighteners...bah. Curls are better.

I really want one of those Dyson fans that don't have blades because they seem like they'd be a whole lot easier to keep clean. My fans get so dusty! The price always stops me from getting one though.

Me too! Then it turned out, a few years later, that one of my meds started recommending to take it at night, not the morning. I was like, aha i was right, wheres my medal?!

Also my dr was like, but prozac is supposed to rev you up, not put you to sleep! Im like, then why do i need a nap after i take it?

Cocaine is for sissies. Cayenne is the ticket.
I couldn't even do ever clear tincture under my tongue -that was an awful experience -eating cayenne does my nose in enough-rinsing with it would take someone of sterner stuff than I possess. I use the wimpy salt/baking soda solution

Posting a health update. I'm much improved over last week. I finally got approval to take some Imodium, which was a big relief and put an end to ten days of misery. Most of my labs are back to normal and the few that aren't are headed in the right direction. I'm once again able to eat the high-protein bariatric diet, so no worries there. I was so very fatigued last week, I didn't know how I was going to manage to get the last of my grading done, even.

But Saturday and Sunday were better, and I pulled it out somehow. I was very generous in both graduate classes; one class deserved it, but the other did not. Oh, well. Such is life. Today I finished the syllabus and online site for the first of my 3 summer classes. Those start on May 15.

Mother broke no contact boundary via my younger brother. Mother's Day will be my 1 year anniversary of moving out. Have therapy before mother's day then.3 week gap between sessions. Sigh, this awful "possibly depression" thing plus all the recent stressors isn't going to help...
