My parents' bamboo floor looks good (they put it in, let's see, when we went to Glacier? So 7 years ago?) but it is a small area doesn't get a lot of traffic most of the time.
I am annoyed that the allergies I expect to hit in the Spring and am resigned to starting in February actually seem to be ramping up now. Or this might be a more seasonally appropriate cold. Either way, I do not think I will be getting much done today. I have a fluffy bathrobe, a couple of types of broth, and plenty of tea. And magazines and a fire. Could be worse.
Today is a good day to stay inside....I nearly bit it twice in the liquor store parking lot (ice unde the gravel, I suspect) and on the way home had to detour because it looks like a water main burst under my primary intersection. The pavement has swollen to a nearly 3' high volcano, about 6' in diameter. And people were driving over it! That's a sinkhole forming, a damned easy way to lose your car! There are already multiple 311 calls in, but I can't believe people on that corner have dry basements...
Will have to remember alternate routes this week. Can't see this will be a quick fix.
It's entirely likely that my mother cleans the bamboo floor with whatever, when it's supposed to be specially treated. Who knows!
Facebook tells me that the last student worker I hired at the Looniversity got married in the chapel there today. He's an infant! He was only 17 when I hired him! (Okay, that was in the fall of 2007, but still! He's marrying his college sweetheart, so despite only being 24 they've been together 6 years already.)
I can't wait to tell my doctor that the diuretic worked in exactly the opposite way it was supposed to.
We should start a club. You know how steroids are supposed to decrease inflammation/other signs of an allergic reaction? Yeah, I'm now allergic to that decreasing-dose Medrol dose pak (where you take 5 pills the first day, 4 the second, etc.). It give me hives. WHICH STEROIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP.
So now I have to keep a very close eye on what happens if/when I take other steroids, like prednisone.
But -- yeah. With you on the counterintuitive reaction. (Although that's why Ritalin works for people with ADD -- it's speed to people who don't have ADD, but it has the opposite effect on people *with* ADD. #themoreyouknow)
We should start a club.
The Idiopathic Reactions Club. My doctor says "idiopathic" means the doctors are idiots who don't know how it works yet. (He said it, not me!)
edited to include the word "how". Now it makes more sense.

I'm one of those people that gets hopped up on benadryl. Any more than 50mg oral and I'm a twitching nutcase. IV I'm okay with, though.
Not sure what that's about.
It's someone's birthday today...

My coworker has bamboo flooring in the kitchen and does not recommend it for high traffic areas.
