Mommy's girl is getting better and only has the fever now. Missed 2 nights of work, but couldnt bear to see the pathetic little non-comprehending look when she'd throw up. She just did not understand what was happening. I can't go to work and pretend everything's o.k. when shes sick. A lot of my job is "acting"
Lost that bothersome tooth in a Popsicle also
Got 3 popsicles and 1/2 a bottle of "Sprite" down her so at least she did't dehydrate this time. Been waiting for it to come out for a long time. Shes been complaining about it for awhile now.
At least a couple months. Just happy shes better.
It's good to hear she's feeling better.

Thanks for the offer to hold my hand That actually means a lot to me.
One hour and ticking.I just found out that "nerves" actually increases your body temp......Normally,I am 97.1-97.6...I just took it and it's 99.8 
Learn something new every day.No reassh for the past two days(after only taking the Clariton(generic)for 2 days(off for 2 days)I will take it again only when the rash shows up.I still didnt up my Effexor yet and will leave that as a last resort.I actually think it might be the "cause" of th cognitive and memory problems getting worse(but it is probably just stress)Stopped the Bynadryl and sleeping just fine without it.
Still feel "discontected" but better then a few days ago.

Last night: Riding way, way up on a ferris wheel. So high that the noise from the ground is muted to a whisper. Glittering stars all around, and flashing multicoloured lights below. Later, drifting through the sky in a hot-air balloon. The ground far beneath, a patchwork of yellow, green and brown squares, with dark-green threads of rivers meandering through it. Wisps of cloud level with my eyes.
Is it any wonder a person doesn't want to get out of bed?

Only if you want to put me in the hospital.
Death by kitty cat! I always had a cat until I was 10 yrs. I started being allergic to them at 5yrs. but it wasn't bad so I got to keep them. It finally got so bad that I had bronchitis every 3 months and was missing school. We had to get rid of my cats.
The allergies are so bad now that when I tried to take the allergy shots to make me immune, I went into anaphylactic shock. It took 2 shots of epinephrine to counteract it. When I am in a room where a cat has been, even if they haven't been there for days, I first start to itch, then my eyes swell shut and my mouth itches and within a half hour, I'm having an asthma attack. It's the only time my asthma flares. Siamese cats are the worst because of their dander.
Soooooooo, as much as I would love to try to have one, it would be a bbaadd idea!

That sounds far better than driving around with a car full of teens.

I had one heck of a "hmmmmmmm" I just might have AS moment today.
I had a lady paying for her yarn and she was telling me a long drawn out story about watching her grandchildren, who had salmonella poisoning and how she got it and was so sick for two weeks. Not wanting to be rude, I smiled and nodded, looked her in the eye now and then said things like "oh my", "nnnoooo" and "that would have been awful". Small talk is an effort.
My boss was sitting at the work table a few feet away and when the lady left she smiled and said, "I could tell you were really interested with your "Oh mys" and " I sees". I wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic, I thought she was, or if I had just committed a faux pas of some sort. I sat and worked on my project for an hour trying to figure this out and when she came to sit with me I told her I didn't understand what she meant when she commented on my talking to the yappy lady. She laughed and said that she was being sarcastic but it wasn't a bad thing. She told me she could tell that I was just feigning interest because my voice was completely flat 
but the yappy lady had no clue. She informed me that it is best to do that, and she thought it was interesting how I dealt with her, like a little robot. 
Fortunately, my boss has a family member with AS and had dealt with me and my boys for years. She finds the traits that I show so interesting that she read Tony Attwood's book and asks me about how I see different things that go on at work just to get more than one perspective. I am really glad I met her.

doesn't it though, and SD has changed the pictures in her mind into worlds on a printed page, and that's the more difficult task.

See, that is what I meant by being the office cat. Of course, we have to detect mice and keep the place free of vermin, but it is nice to get your belly patted every now and then.
