I have some. Cup your hands under any USB port on your computer and stand by for incoming Joe-Joe's.

Oh, man, I hope IT doesn't have cookies disabled!

Heh.

Somebody's putting that in COMM, right? I don't have time to do it myself.

I must not buy a can of frosting on the way home. That's a habit I don't need to fall back into.

But really, the amount of oxycodone he takes in one dose -- even though it's prescribed by his doctor -- is a little scary.

My mom is the same. Her daily meds in total (non-pain and pain) are completely intimidating to me. I have no idea how she keeps track.

Oh Jesus, beyond the pain meds, he takes upwards of 10 drugs a day. Maybe 15? For heart disease and The Diabeeetus. Which is why I've made a big effort this year to change my diet and move my ass more. I'd like to avoid that shit if it's at all possible. (Avoid both the medical conditions AND the need to manage them with drugs. And that's not to say that drugs are bad; on the contrary, my dad is still alive at the age of 72 after 5 heart attacks *because* of meds [because it sure isn't because of diet and exercise]. But it's complicated and hard for him to remember to take 10-15 meds a day, and that's something I'd prefer to avoid. Hell, I already take blood pressure medication every day, and allergy meds every night. I don't want to coordinate more.)

But the amount of oxycodone he takes at one time would kill someone who had never taken it before. For real. He is a classic example of physical tolerance building up. When I've had horrific pain (back pain, tooth pain), I've taken about 1/8 (or maybe 1/10) of what he takes. (Um, not *his* personal meds; just opioid painkillers in general.)

He and my mom could be meds buddies! This is her, too.

Her meds are for all kinds of things due to lupus, some of it not really typical for lupus at all -- she's had longtime digestion and pancreatic issues, and she takes the drug people take so they won't reject a new organ (Immuron? not sure how it's spelled).

Dang. It's amazing to me, the way meds can help various conditions that you wouldn't automatically think they could do. (And I get so angry at people who post stuff on FB about "Big Pharma" and drugs being a scam and unnecessary, etc., usually accompanied by a self-righteous screed about how "food is the best medicine," blah blah blah. OH MY GOD STOP.) (I mean, yes, avoiding/preventing medical conditions is ideal, but that doesn't always work, because that's not how bodies work.) (Raaaaage.)

And of course, I apparently take a phantom dose of dilaudid. NO one takes 6mg at once, and UCLA is no longer pushing 50MG of Benadryl--they run it over 20 minutes, instead of the 5m (max) push I get at home.

I'm the IV med fairy.

I find it hard to tell if oral medications have had an impact unless I start bumping into things. I'm not always not still in pain at that point.

I have decided sorbet today. Tea sorbet--the youthberry is too sweet/strong for me to drink straight, but I think this Teavana offering might be perfect sorbet. Batches cooling.

Ojibwe loom: [link] I haven't used one in forever, and it's what I think of when you mention Ravelry. I suddenly want to weave SPN symbols.

One of these projects already has sunk costs, and involves no travel. We'll see how it goes. I'm almost entirely art blocked anyway.

Mmm, tea sorbet sounds great.
