Buffistas

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It's someone's birthday today...

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

Huh. Pity.

Thanks for the tip!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy shriftday!

Thanks! Since the weather outside is a frightful wintry mix, I haven't bothered to get dressed and go outside today. I'm lazing around in my pajamas buying ebooks that are on sale and watching The Scarlet Pimpernel, because eleventy billion things are expiring from Netflix on February 1st.

I'm not sure what I'm making for dinner yet.

That sounds like an excellent day.
