Nibbs XLII (Page 23)

We are.  Now we are driving between parents' houses and we'll have to drive back to Virginia.  It's just a lot that I know is coming.  It's tiring just thinking about it.

I have to head out.  The net connection is agonizingly slow.  Just wanted to post that I am done driving through the crazy storm and I'm safe.  See you all later!

Phil...read at your own risk...girl talk! 




Birth control pills mess with my current bipolar med...the IUD is one of the few options that doesn't.  My hormones are really screwy and I was hoping to find something to help regulate them.  Yaz is suppose to interfere less than other oral contraceptives...

Maybe I will just skip them and see if my body works it out on it's own. 

I don't know what I should do regarding the IUD...I just went through having it put in.  I don't want to just jump ship after a few days because I am feeling down, but at the same time I can't afford to be nonfunctional.  I need to be finding a job!

I've found the WI forums to be a good antidepressant... Thanks Phil!

Good to know you are safe - if I dont see you online before, Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays Nibbs.

Mel, sorry to hear that you are struggling.  Hope that you can get it resolved to your satisfaction. 

Jen, glad to hear you made it north.  My sister in NC got over 2 feet of snow and lost power and the power company says it might be until the new year for them to get the power restored.  Luckily they have a wood burning stove so they arent freezing, but no power means no music, tv, stove, frig, etc.

So, we aren't heading to NC for the Holiday.  My Dad's 82 birthday is the 24th and I'm going to miss it.  NC is supposed to get hit with more snow on the 24th and 25th and we can't risk going as I have to work the library on the 26th. 

hey all...I am feeling a little bit better this morning.  I am going to take a shower and brush my teeth.  Then I will find some breakfast. 

On the books for today...a visit to the pharmacy and some pool time.

Abstinence is one thing, but being celibate...No thanks.  I fully intend to find the right guy and get married.  Now if I can just find that guy...    

Wait a minute...BT lets you type sex??? I thought that BT considered that a 'dirty' word.

true...don't want to be inaccurate.  I am pretty sure that it still doesn't let you type  post   .

Dude...I think that I need a root canal.  I thought I was having tmj pain, but the area around one of my molars (that I have been having problems with) is tender and slightly swollen.  The pain is definitely greater in that area and not on the other side at all.

Potential job!  Meeting with a gal for lunch tomorrow to talk about the details.  It sounds like a household assistant type thing.  Compensation is room, board, and salary. 

This might mean that finishing my degree gets put on hold even longer though. Honestly, I don't know that I would be ready to tackle full time school by spring quarter anyway. I'm afraid that if I put it off much longer the instructor that I have had will retire.  He has been teaching this class for 29 years now.  The other instructor is a good guy, but not the same.  It would be disappointing to take classes with him after having experienced the other. 

I am not sure what to do.

ETA:  I found the job description online.

Mary, the gal I live with, is good friends with one of the business owners.  She had lunch with here the other day and found out about this position.  She also put in a good word for me.

Mel, stay far away from Yaz.  I've been on it for a few years and I think it made my depression worse when I have PMS.  I am also looking into the class action law suit against the manufacturers because a large number of people on Yaz have had gall bladder disease.  Not fun.

I'm sorry to hear that you were one of the many with health issues that may have been caused by the med.  I have been avoiding it because there seem to be so many issues.  It is now off my list of possibilities.  I think if this doesn't work out I am going to skip the hormones and see if my body can manage to regulate things on it's own.  Maybe if I give it enough time it will settle into an ok routine.

Thanks for the warning Jen.

So I haven't made it out yet. I decided that I want to talk to my dr again before I get the new Rx filled.  I am not comfortable with starting 2 new drugs this close together.  I want to be able to sort out the side effects. 

I started two meds at the same time once before and had a bad reaction...now penicillin is on my list of drug allergies, although I am nearly positive that it is the other med that was the culprit.  

I would be leery of starting two new drugs at the same time, too.  It's too hard to figure out what is causing a reaction if you have one.  Might be a bad combination of the two or it might be something else.  Definitely talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

I am going to be social...although I don't really feel like it...and I am going to a family bowling night with the Moses' (the family I am living with).

I did.  It was a holiday extended family get together with a white elephant gift exchanged.  I scored a small hardcover Olive Oil recipe book and a nice bottle of olive oil.  I think that I will re gift it to my sister.

Great to hear Mel!
