Lily is sooooooooo cute. She has the most beautiful eyes.

I am, theoretically, doing my taxes this weekend. I'm telling everyone that in the hopes that it will motivate me.

My PCP called a little while ago. We did a blood level of dilantin yesterday. I'm back in the therepeutic range (14something...it's supposed to be between 5 and 20; she was nervous that with the IV dilantin and the increased dosage that maybe it had gotten too high).

So, that's not the problem. Which, actually, isn't a good thing. Probably means that the dilantin is no longer an effective medication for me. Blech.

Edited to prove I can spell. Kind of.

News story:

Two U.S. Navy warships exchanged gunfire with suspected pirates Saturday off the coast of Somalia

huh.

I'm feeling dizzy. But I think it's 'cause I ran downstairs too fast to get my package from beth b (can't wait to open it!). But, it makes me nervous.

That sucks, VW. I hope this thing lets you alone, soon.

...in January, Doug Anglin, 17, filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education against Milton (Mass.) High School, which he said discriminates against boys by giving better grades to students who "sit down, follow orders, and listen to what (teachers and administrators) say." "Men," Anglin told a Boston Globe reporter, "naturally rebel against this." [Boston Globe, 1-26-06]

vw -- if you make less than $50,000 a year then you can file your taxes for free electronically. Last year I used Turbo Tax, but this year I found that HR Block was easier to understand.

Avoiding news. Ded from the cute.

Plei she is so beautiful. Still see both of you in her expressions. What a cutie. (reminds me that nature makes them so cute when they're babies to keep us from killing them when they're teens)

Sounds like the PCP is doing a good job keeping up with things and keeping in touch with you. It might be hard to know if the dilantin is working as it should while your body is recovering from the steroid horrors. (so totally without knowledge) The dilantin might work just fine again once your body rids itself of the steroids. Yeah, I know I am not an expert, but when other loved ones have had issues with bad medication reactions it has been a common practice to try and stabilize before changing stuff.

Kinda topicy. A good friend of mine takes dilantin (and a bunch of other stuff) and he and his wife were unable to conceive because of his meds. They said he had lazy sperm, and I wanna tell you we had fun joking about his stoned sperm. Anyway, they took his sperm and "washed" it then fertilized a few of her eggs, planted them and voila, they now have twins. One boy and one girl.

Science is mighty cool. She says at least she doesn't have to worry about birth control because no babies without either science or divine intervention.

Ok. Nails finally dried. Thank you so much, beth. It is just lovely. And your note made my day.

Lily is beyond cute.
