the elves have made off with a present I bought for a shower that is tomorrow. They're now holding the baby shoes, a camera, several items of clothing and a pair of shoes hostage somewhere.
They also took my wrist brace, which is pissing me off, because my wrist hurts really really REALLY badly (mowing the lawn did NOT make it hurt worse; it just hurts because, well, I have massive inflammation).
I've looked everywhere, and I have no idea where I lost the brace. The only place I didn't check was the gym, although I really don't think it was there, but then again, if it isn't there, then it probably really did get taken by elves.
I get a steroid injection this afternoon for my wrist, which will hopefully not cause anaphylaxis and kill me (since the oral steroids I took 2 weeks ago made me all itchy). It's a different steroid, and I think my Dr. will make me stay in the office for 30-45 minutes to make sure I don't die. I should ask for an epi-pen too, now that I think of it.
He's pretty sure that the allergic reaction was not to the steroid itself, but to the inactive ingredients in the pills. Since an injection has different inactive ingredients than a pill does, it should all be okay.
Well, currently among my circle of friends (and as a result of an anecdote we need not go into at this juncture) it's a euphemism for shaving your pubes.
I hope the steroid injection works magic without any unpleasant after effects.
I have three wrist braces in my desk drawer, Teppy. Maybe one is yours? If so, could you take a look around for tiny blue shoes with penguins on them?
Steph, I would x-ray the dogs' stomachs for your wrist brace. In fact, you might check Ginger's dog's stomach, too.
Signed, My pup will eat anything, won't yours?
Hope the steroids work.
tiny blue shoes with penguins
I don't care that these are baby shoes, I want some for me. So cute!
I have considered the dog, but I think I would have noticed the trail of destruction, unless he's hidden them somewhere for an extra-special dessert.
Fay, I've seen pictures of you wearing a black bobbed wig with fringe before you committed to the One True Haircut and you looked gorgeous.
Also, that cut is the chic cut of the summer as not only Cate wears it, but also the wider-cheeked Christina Ricci in Speed Racer. Most importantly we also see Dr. Girlfriend with that look in the recent Venture Brothers and there can be no greater fashion icon.

Black, 4 velcro straps, metal-reinforced on the underside?

You bet!

Heh. That may be what happened, OR one of the cats may have carried it off to love on it like a surrogate kitten.
Good luck with the injection, Teppy.
Injection~ma, Teppy.
Am in my new office and it looks like I may end up with a choice of two cubes. I've been testing both out to determine which has the least visibility of my computer screen. One cube is a bit more public, but I can have the back of the monitor facing out, so more privacy. The other is tucked around a corner, so less foot traffic, but my back would be facing the opening so people could sneak up on me. No likey that option. So, hopefully cube #1, or I buy a rear view mirror for cube #2.
Now I just need that rental office to call me and say things are golden.
Belated injection-ma, Tep!
Cheers, Hec - that's very kind & reassuring!
...I think the fringe is growing on me. I'm trying to upload pictures, so that you can all be brutally honest with me. But my connection is slllooooooow.
