Happy birthday to badlittlemonkey!

Happy early birthday to museumfreak and tidesong, who both advance a year over the weekend!

Hello to new reader sarcazm!

Medical
Exhaustion like whoa + nausea. I don't think the Prilosec is working, as it's specifically supposed to reduce nausea and let my appetite back into the building, and the last two days, I've been more nauseous than usual. I haven't been taking it entirely as directed, though; I'm supposed to take it 15-30 minutes before eating, but that's not really feasible the way I do my mornings - a mad dash of "oh crap I'm late" due to the exhaustion, shower - wolf down waffles and meds - brush teeth - put on mascara and lipstick - gogogo!

Also, I'm a tiny bit brainfucked and coordination-fucked. The latter is manifesting as sort of a delayed-response thing.

KoL
I ascended last night, after finally blowing up my chef-in-a-box! Go me. *boogies down* I decided to go teetotaler this time. Not hardcore, though. I was tempted. But I like my stuff. *laugh*

Gmail
Chat within the page? Like I need more temptation...

Wearing
Turqouise cowlneck sweater from Anthropologie, jeans, Happy Bunny "crazy doesn't begin to cover it" panties, dancing skeleton socks.

Reading
Just finished Sideways, by Rex Pickett. The speech that made Adam fall in love with the movie? Not in the book. But the book is very good regardless. (Also, Miles is a much less sympathetic character in the book. But I like fucked-up characters. *cough*nanosong*cough*)

Next up? Dreams of the Compass Rose, by norilana. I'm looking forward to it! (Don't buy that edition - a new one's coming out soon from iBooks. I'll link when it's available!)

Elayna is Reading
David Lubar's Invasion of the Road Weenies, sequel to one of her favorite books, In the Land of the Lawn Weenies.

Planning
We have an out-of-town guest this weekend! He's probably already on the plane. :) (EDIT @ 10:20: he has landed safely.) So our weekend activities are guest-centric. Will likely include breakfast at Java Jive. (Mmm, gingerbread waffles...) Will definitely include museumfreak's birthday brunch. *nod*

You?

Oh, God, I now so want to read Invasion of the Lawn Weenies.

Thanks much for the birthday wishes, 'song! :D

You're quite welcome - wish I could come to the party!

Well, maybe you'll be local for my 36th. :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Definitely planning on it. :)

I am not a doctor, but:

How long on the Prilosec? I've been taking it on & off for several years:
(a) I never followed those directions, they only appeared on the OTC box.
(b) It does take a couple days to work sometimes. And I haven't noticed getting dizzy when I start a round, but I do notice getting a little dizzy when I stop taking it.

Wearing: pink striped sweater, bluejeans, bare feet. Striped camisole under the sweater.
Reading: Nothing at the moment - I've been immersed in homework. Will probably start 'Geek Love' by Katharine Dunn this weekend.
Planning: NOTHING. A big lot of NOTHING. Maybe watching some DVDs and minor housecleaning. But really, nothing. I need a nothing weekend.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I *heart* Geek Love. What did you think of it?

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

I like what I've read so far, which isn't much because people keep giving me stuff to read that isn't nearly as fun - but I'm glad I didn't read it when I was pregnant like a friend of mine did. That would have been particularly a bad idea.

Have you tried ginger pills? They're supposed to be more effective than dramamine with no side effects. You can get them online or at places like The Vitamin Shoppe.

Or even just plain ginger. The crystalized sulphurized kind works well. Health food or organic food places usually have it.
