Kate, I'm so sorry for you all.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
hoping it is just stressed kitty,Pix.
Now for some good news, at least for me. I started a new drug for diabetes last week. I wasn't excited- because I just didn't want to add another drug to my life. So far I am on a half does and the results are truly interesting.
to explain: I have been hungry all my life . With wicked cravings. I've done bunches to reduce the cravings , but nothing worked really well. this new drug increases insulin production and makes me feel full much sooner than normal. I've eaten 2 piece of pieces tonight. I feel very full - like I ate 5 pieces. Crossing my fingers that when I go up to full does I have none of the bad side effects. Because this is astonishing. ( I haven't done any testing yet, but logically it has to be doing something just because I am eating less)

I've got four bottles to add, and if I do a msbelle-style culling, probably more. They're gonna wind up at Goodwill or the shelter if that box doesn't get here soon.
You can send them to me!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
beth, that's fantastic! Fingers crossed for no bad side effects.

Where is the box now? How many people has it been through? I think it's so remarkable that we're able to keep a thing like this going.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, Kate, how terrible for Mark and you and his family. Much ~ma for everyone.

Ugh. After 4 days of going to bed at 2AM (or later) and not getting up before double digits, I now have to go to work tomorrow. I avoided talking a nap today, but I fear the lack of sleep.
ION, I have taken the first step towards painting my condo by painting swatches on the wall. Meep!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thoughts for Kate and for Mark's family.
beth, that sounds great! Wishing you much success with the new drug.
I am up at 6.30am for my unconference, and my body hates me for it, so this had better be worth it. I tipped an entire cup of tea over my laptop yesterday (thankfully just after putting my presentation for today onto a memory stick) and the keyboard no longer works. EDS sucks and all that. Still, THATCamp! Fun. Wishing everyone a good day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Beth, that sounds wonderful! I hope it really works for you. We're tweaking my stuff, too, since my numbers are pretty consistently 20-30 points higher than they should be, and there really isn't anything else I can stop eating and still have the will to live.
We're looking at paint for the kitchen cabinets. What's needed is a back-to-the studs redesign, but sh'yeah, like we can afford that. We'd investgated removing the fronts and redesigning the doors and facings, but with their structure, that isn't possible. Replacing the doors is like substituting a really ugly unflattering pink dress for a really ugly unflattering blue dress, and more expense than the exercise is worth. Ergo, paint. There's a sagey green in the wallpaper border (I never thought I'd hear myself say "I like the border") that I want a lighter shade of. With all the natural light the right green is going to be hard to hit, so, chips and swatches, here we come!
