Today's unmitigated good news
The Allegra I started taking on Monday is definitely giving me some relief. I'm getting some more sleep, and am moving from "profoundly exhausted and weary" to "tired and happy for more rest". Feels good. And it comes with no qualifiers, no hesitation, no nothin'. Just less congestion and more rest.

And now, the news in my mouth
Yesterday I went for my second session at the University of Washington dental school, to go over the results of the intake examination and talk about treatment options. It went very well indeed ( Read more... ) -
Picture time: Seattle spring moments
It's been ages, hasn't it? But I have been taking pictures, and feel like sharing a couple.

Weight Watchers, week 41
No change. Commentary on current stuff later, but I'm mostly glad not to be gaining.

City of Heroes/Villains: Super-ize me
For my readers familiar with City of Heroes and City of Villains: If you were to thrust super-powers on me and put me to work in either Paragon City or the Rogue Isles, what would they be? I don't see myself as temperamentally very villainous, but I do have my "let it all burn" moments, and of course with the expansion pack coming up, some ( Read more... ) -

I'm reading Life and Death in the Third Reich, by Peter Fritszche, and finding it excellent. His material is letters, diaries, and other personal accounts of a wide range of Germans throughout the '30s and '40s, and his topic is the ways in which they made places for themselves in the Nazi regime, not just socially but internally: how they thought ( Read more... ) -
Weight Watchers, week 40
Suddenly, nothing happened. :) Up 0.1 pounds, to 309.2, but I'm inclined to treat that as "no change", really. I'm happy about progress on other matters, and continuing to pull my Weight Watchers daily point total down a little bit.

Sunday notes: not dead yet
Whew. Been a wringer, though. Looks like I have had a cold, plus seasonal allergies, plus some medication reactions. Sorting it through, but yeesh.
It really is lovely to see everything blossoming again, though. It was a hard winter, and I like the symbolism and the physical beauty of spring coming in.

Further adventures with shaving cream
If you take a big handful of shaving cream, work it up into a really good lather, and then rub it into your scalp as if it were shampoo, it does no harm. But it does take multiple rinses to get it all out.
Think I'm still tired.

In which there's mending
Sorry for being quiet this week. I was sick. I could get a note from Mom and/or my doctor, if that'd help. :)
I think at least 2-3 things hit at once: allergies from stuff coming into bloom, plus environmental problems from nearby construction, plus a diet experiment not working out (that's getting a post of its own soon), plus some other stresses. ( Read more... )
