Good news! I don't have pneumonia! Bad news is that my breathing problems and awful coughing are the result of my asthma not playing nice with the bug I've got. I have a scrip for antibiotics and the doc also gave me scrips for a daily steroid inhaler to get my asthma under control and a rescue inhaler (I'd let both scrips lapse). When it came time ( Read more... )

The one boss got a case of pneumonia so bad that he's currently in the hospital getting IV antibiotics in an effort to knock it back. On Friday, I had a bit of a tickle in my throat along with the occasional cough. What followed was an entire weekend coughing. Sometimes there was stuff I'd hack up but most of the time it was more like a dry cough. ( Read more... )

What follows below is a bunch of doll babble and some changes I'm contemplating making to the way some of my dolls look. Please feel free to skip if talk of " my creepies" (as the Hubby puts it) isn't your thing. However, you should also know that because the dolls I own are physical representations of characters from several different stories, ( Read more... )

So, Khale's current wig is bugging me (which I think I have mentioned before). I'd like to keep to the same general-ish style/colour scheme but I'm also open to change. Not radical, but some change is fine. This, however, has been presenting me with some problems in finding the right look for him *sigh*. I have some options so thoughts/suggestions ( Read more... )

Still waiting on doll stuff. I have a pair of eyes that shipped from Korea on January 16th. I STILL haven't gotten them and it's coming close to 2 months. This is stupid. I honestly would've paid more in shipping to get them sooner. I've also got another pair of eyes (different company) coming to me from... China? The last pair took about 4 weeks I ( Read more... )

I'd picked up some fabric placemats at the 2nd hand store a while back because the fabric was really cool. And for $2, I basically get enough fabric for 1 large doll outfit. Hard to beat that bang for your buck. I needed to iron the placements as there were some serious creases in them. Go to iron them and it's like part of the fabric melted! I ( Read more... )

Raining and fog right now. Forecast high is 13C. Forecast for Friday, just 2 short days away? -4C but will feel like -12C with the wind and scattered flurries. Forecast for Monday, another 2 days later? 8C with scattered showers ( Read more... )

Khale has not only got new eyes, but new eyelashes. For those not in the know, he is a Leeke Khal Limited Vampire fullset pale that I won several years back at AnimeNorth. He doesn't wear his default outfit as that's not his character's style. I also changed his wig and eyes. His eyes have been the bane of my existence pretty much from the day I ( Read more... )

While I was on a doll forum the other day, there was a thread about what your doll's name was, what that name meant and why you chose that for that particular doll. I thought it would be interesting to answer and started to do just that when I realized that my note keeping has slacked off somewhat. I usually write down what meaning (if any) there ( Read more... )

I almost never go on FB. It is a tool of the devil and I loathe it with the passion of 10,000 burning suns. However, I've been on, briefly, more of late as a way to keep tabs on the debacle that is/was TQ shutting down. When I went on yesterday, I saw a pic of one of my good friends and the messages/responses written under it were alarming to me. ( Read more... )
