Today - today is slightly sucky. I'm trying to think of ways to make it suck less and things to concentrate on, and it is a stretch, even for me.

As far as oral decongestants go - I'm stuck with pseudoephedrine, right? I mean - that is pretty much all we got, right?

Why haven't they invented more decongestants? Antihistamines we have by the truckload, you'd think there would be some new designer decongestant out there that my insurance wouldn't cover and would cost way too much for me to buy it, but at least I would know it existed.

And can I get any more lame? I bet I can.

Things are looking fairly serious for my friend who had the melanoma removed yesterday - she's in significant pain today from the surgery (huge massive incision) and there is concern about her lymph nodes now (apparently the lesion was much more aggressive and deep than they originally thought) so - dudes - just remember to keep doing skin checks and wearing sunscreen and not tan and I promise I will feel better about all of y'all.

I swear I have Deep Thoughts about Smallville (and look - Cappy made me a Saved!Smallville icon) and Clark and... stuff. Hang on and I'll dislodge it.

Meh - I tried but now I don't feel like really discussing anything so nevermind. I'll be entertaining later.

I think there is a new incentive these days to develop new decongestants. There has been some talk of banning the liquid form of Sudefed (or making it significantly more difficult to get) because it can be used to make methamphetamine.

I am wearing my sunscreen every day. I even shelled out for the fancy stuff with zinc. And I promise to ask about skin checks when I go to my other cancer-avoidance-related doctor's appointment next week.

Ohh - I need to actually make the appointment for the other cancer-avoidance thingy soon. Unless you are talking about the other other avoidy thing and I really should possibly consider bringing that up with my GP - and now is possibly a good time to get a GP...

Man - getting older sucks. There is too much to remember.

I've already graduated from cancer-avoidance thingy #1 and am on to stage two cancer-avoidance thingy. The likelihood of actual cancer is still very low but, I'm at the point where they feel the need to reassure me constantly that I don't have cancer which just makes me more nervous.
