I am getting back up to 100 LJ comments in my inbox. Gah. How does this HAPPEN? I guess when you make all of these ridiculously dramatic posts you are bound to get some comments. I suppose I need to answer them sometime. The same question is true of the dishes in my sink. Where the heck did they all come from? Why are they not taking care of themselves? I have been totally overtaken by LAZY and I do NOTHING. I haven't put my clothes away from Sunday. This is not something I do. I need my girl to be home with me so my life returns to normal and I can get all of my daily crap done. Oh, and also pack.

Tonight a former client of mine (a family) had me over for dinner to say goodbye. It was really nice to see them, because I really like them and their kid. They are a little lax on the follow-through with discipline, though, and at one point after Mom said no to something and the kid went to do it anyway, I leaned over (he was sitting next to me) and said, "Stop! Mom said no." And he started to cry. It was INSANE. Ahh well. The food was yummy, though. I always worry about that Mom because she seems so depressed and stuff. She kept talking about how she was no fun and not a nice person and all of that. I just wish there was some way I could tell her in a convincing manner that she is a cool lady! But I guess that is her lesson to learn more than it is mine to teach her.

So I didn't get home until 9pm and that shot my plans to do the dishes. (Again.) These freaking cats need to start earning their keep around here!

Tomorrow. I will do the dishes tomorrow.

I have my annual physical tomorrow. Good times. Third physical at Fenway, third doctor doing it. I think I'm bad luck. My RE says I have to ask for a flu shot. (Yuck.) I never do flu shots. But I will ask. And I will see if they have a thimerosol-free flu shot. And I will hope that Nurse Amy is still there and can give it to me! (But I think she is a supervisor now, which is sad because I only got the HepB series because she gave them to me. Because I love her.)

I almost always get a flu shot. I don't like the shots but it has always kept me healthy. I'm usually the only person in the office that never gets sick. Which means I get to spend all my sick days, "sick".

Just ask them for the needle, you're a pro at the shots by now... But oh yea, they don't go in your belly :-)

It's not that I don't like shots, it's that I find the flu shot generally unhelpful if you are a healthy person. I have never had the flu, and I work in a giant germ factory. I just try to avoid vaccinations whenever I can, because that's what I have an immune system for.

But my RE keeps going on about how you are all immunocompromised when you are pregnant and all of that, and I have read similar things elsewhere, so I will ask. I just really don't like the whole thimerosol thing.

Flu shot is definitely worth doing when preggers.

Oh! and if you get sent over to Fenway for endocrine stuff, I highly recommend Dr Karen McCowen. She was my endo for the GD stuff, and extremely cool.

Well, I don't think I'll be sent to Fenway for anything PG-related, since we'll only be living here for a little over 2 more weeks. :) I need to find whole new peeps!

Did you get the regular-old multi-dose flu shot like everyone else? I'm totally scared of it.

When I was pregnant I had everyone else get it and I didn't. I don't work with germs though. But I did get pnemonia twice and it sucked

I'll only be working with germs for a couple more weeks. (Well, until I get another job.) WHOO HOO!!

Yeah, my wife has Janice as a PCP and she is really nice. I had some woman I've never met before named (I think) Dr. Haringopol. It was seriously one of the more frustrating experiences I've had in a long while.

I don't mind needles, but I don't want the regular flu shot because I don't want the mercury, even if it's only a little.
