As far as I'm concerned my recliner is available whether I'm home or not but I might not find out until the 26th what my schedule is for the 30th-31st. In the event that I would have to work while you were here I want to check with my roommates and make sure it's OK with them but I doubt they would have a problem with it. In other words: almost definitely yes. You're not allergic to dogs, are you? Also I think the cat who moved out six months ago might still be causing some residual allergic reactions in sensitive people.

SuziQ I am so envious of your gingerbread tableau I just might have to make my own.

I am not allergic! And I thank you very much! I will let you know my plans.

yay!

edit: at first I wrote, "excellent. I look forward to meeting you." But that just didn't look right.

re-edit: not that I'm not looking forward to meeting you. It just seemed like, "yay!" more properly expressed my precise emotions regarding the matter.

nice gingerbread house

I just watched the "Captain Jack Harness"episode of Torchwood.

Damn.

Good for you for being a witness, askye.

matt keeps looking at your picture - we both like it. i wish we had figured out where you were going ti be Sat. I think it might have been fun

Hee. Yes, and I will definitely post a picture or two once I get them--my outfit Saturday was much fun.

I had the second-to-last disc of Doctor Who Season 3 at home for a week. I must have watched it four times and I'm still ready to watch all three episodes again. That was some mighty fine craic.

I am eating eggnog icecream from this place [link]

I buy my milk from them. Its in glass bottles. God I'm a yuppie.

Ginger, you're probably right that calling 911 would've been better. I just honestly didn't think of it at the time.

Susan, that's a pretty common reaction. I've had it myself - when in fact my place had been broken into. The thieves were long gone, thank heavens. All I can say now, is how glad I am that you are safe now. Poor little Annabel, though. Hope she gets over her fever quickly.

But he also said my TSH level was outside the "normal" range but still below the standard for treatment, and I know several people who have TSH levels nowhere near what he said was the standard for treatment who were immediately given meds.

Hil, I am one of those whose TSH levels were inside but on the higher end of the acceptible range, and yet get the meds prescribed. I'd advise you to find a D.O., especially if you can find an older one, who has been in practice for a few decades. I've never seen a specialist, and always had my g.p. prescribe the synthroid. Osteopaths are more likely to see the big picture than M.D.s. It's been said that M.D.s are trained to treat diseases, and D.O.s are trained to treat patients. The thing is, once upon a time, underactive thyroid was diagnosed by a cluster of symptoms rather than blood tests. You want a doctor who learned the art of diagnosing thyroid issues when it involved looking at a patient and talking to the person, rather than looking at some numbers on a piece of paper and comparing them to other numbers.

Once you are on the meds, another doctor will be ok prescribing refills based on what you've been taking plus perhaps a recheck of the TSH levels to see that they are still within the normal range, and therefore that the dosage needs no adjustment.
