I know skinny jeans are supposedly out of style, but I love them and live in them. I just found these American Eagle dupes at Costco and they are super comfortable and sooo much cheaper.

I love skinny jeans too. I will keep wearing them and being uncool (sorry to my kids, lol). I'm 5'3", so anything past a 30" inseam drags on the ground. It's nice to have jeans I don't have to roll up or tuck into boots when I go outside and it's snowy or rainy.
I have a sinus infection (day 4) and went to urgent care and they said no antibiotics until day 12. He kept saying I had a cold. I have had colds before and they never have the pressure in my eyes and ears and green shot like a sinus infection. I have always needed antibiotics for sinus infections, but apparently I don't know my body well enough. The one time I tried without antibiotics (which I told him all about) it went into my chest/lungs and triggered my asthma which resulted in 3 months of steroid, steroid shots, eventually a cracked rib from coughing and pleurisy. All he said after that was come back in 8 days if you are not better. You would think I was looking for painkillers and not a zpack.
Raaaage. I’ve had similar experiences being dismissed, even though literally NEVER ONCE have I gone to the doctor for a throat or sinus thing and it turned out I didn’t need antibiotics. It’s always turned out to be strep or tonsillitis or whatever, but the snooty dismissive bullshit happens so often.
I can’t even get antibiotics for run if the mill tonsillitis anymore. Last time, huge white patches, strep negative - buck up, buttercup and salt water gargle. In a shocking turn of events, I was back 8 days later, more miserable and with huger white patches. Which were gone in 12 hours.
Like… I get it. Antibiotics tend be be over prescribed. But yet, rage when you have to wait it out and the “this is viral and will be gone in 5 days” is wrong.
My dr won’t prescribe me prescription strength motion sickness patches and I’m annoyed. No reason given except “he recommends over the counter medications” (this is the nurse who speaks to the Dr then calls me back, so I’m not speaking directly to my dr). I mean, do they not believe that I’ve tried all over the counter options and none work for me? I have no contraindications and I’m not getting a reason for it which is frustrating to me. I feel sometime that people who don’t get motion sickness don’t have a full understanding of how debilitating it can be. It’s just annoying.
In my state, the pharmacist can write for these directly (scopolamine). Might be worth calling?

Last night, H let our dogs out when he got out of his board meeting. He noticed the dogs had disappeared, so called to both pups and they raced around from the side, chasing a raccoon.
Alarmed, he stepped outside and realized it was not a raccoon. It was a cat.
It was a black cat.
In fact, it was OUR black cat. The one that is an escape artist.
The dogs herded our kitty back inside and now Project Catio is in full effect. 😂

Ugh that sucks. Unfortunately it seems as though bacterial sinusitis is becoming resistant to macrolides (azithromycin is one). If you’re not feeling better you might want to ask about amoxicillin or augmentin. Hope you feel better.
This may be TMI, but my pee has been pink for the last two days. I finally googled this morning and the top results said that pink pee with no other symptoms can be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer and to see a doctor.
After sitting with that knowledge for an hour or so, I went back and read to the end of the article.
Long story short, the cause is almost definitely the entire tray of roasted beets that I've been eating since Monday. LOL.
Never trust Dr Google.
Ya it’s the beets. DH was on this kick of drinking like 2oz of beet juice in the morning. The first day he did it early in the morning and by the time he got to the gym it looked like he was peeing blood. He was so freaked out and then he asked someone there if that could happen.
We leave for Breckenridge on Saturday for spring break. I need to get packing but I’m so meh about ski vacations that it’s hard for me to get excited.
DH grew up skiing and snowboarding and absolutely loves it. So, we try to go out west every year. It’s a total compromise for me. I have tried skiing but really just don’t like it. But he loves it and wants our kids to love it, so we go. I don’t ski now, but end up schlepping ski stuff and doing drop-offs and pick-ups at ski school and on the mountain. He’s very fair, though, and knows I love beaches and trips to Europe. So we do those most years too. I just hate snow and one of my big fears is slipping and falling. I have a bad ankle and a knee that I had a bad ACL tear in years ago. I’m currently being a Debbie-downer and realize how lucky we are to be able to travel. I need to snap out of it and get it together.

dancingirl21, ditto this. I have a pair for hiking. Hiked a couple of miles in February over straight ice past people who were legitimately falling all over the place. I didn’t even slip once. They’re great.
