Well, I got the report back from the doctor. My total cholesterol is still elevated, but that's partly because my HDL is 95. Probably should get the LDL down, but it's only borderline high at this point.

Everything is fine except for the fact that I have to go back in a month so he can check my parathyroid. Since it's probably nothing, I'm going to stop myself from looking up hyperparathyroidism now.

Ok, definitely gonna get a new vacuum after Xmas. I've replaced bets, filters, cleaned it and it was struggling to pick up cat litter, which is not acceptable in this house. Sigh.

Ok, gotta dress and run an errand, pack and swim.

Second trying another keyboard. Is it wireless? Could the battery being going out?

Good news, shrift! All was not in vain!

Speaking of vain, I have Invisalign now, and now it feels vain. Eh, I'm sure soon it will just feel like nothing.

Saw my doc this morning. To add on to the other stuff, I'm sick... Blech. We are stopping the latest med and seeing how I feel in two weeks. Did the Welburtrin do anything for me or was it the culprit in me feeling horrible? My symptoms are the opposite of Welbutrin's side effects. So either my depression will be more manageable or will get worse once the med works out of my system. Something to look forward to, I guess.

my HDL is 95

Okay, Captain America.

...now I'm wondering what his metabolic panel results are.

But -- huzzah! Go eat a handful of lard to celebrate! (Seriously, that HDL is off the hook. I didn't actually know it could get that high. If I could get mine up to 50 I'd be stoked.)

it's not wireless. And none of my USB ports work... and this is my old backup computer that stopped working.

Dan pul8 the hard drive out of the computer that I was working on, which also went semi tits-up last week, and now this. There's no fixes for so old and so raggity and I just have to get a new end. There's no fixes for this.

I should be getting a really small really cheap computer that will let me do the things I need to do on it on the 23rd, through the extreme generosity of a friend.

All was not in vain!

I probably was going to flip a table if it was in vain!

God damn it. Now I am, too.

Neither did I! I think last time it was around 70-something, and I was feeling pretty impressed with myself then. Suck it, heart disease.

Something to look forward to, I guess.

Fingers crossed for you, Suzi.

My work here is done.

ION, I just went through the days of my two-week vacation, and they all have things in them already! Mostly they are not Full Of Things, and most of the things are good, but still.
