I think my first pet's name would be ironclad against guesses as opposed to a random letter generator, as it's a word I made up at the age of four.

Oooh, I'm cross now. My cholesterol did actually go up, by just a few points -- but my HDL (that's the good cholesterol) went up, which is a good thing, so the doctor isn't concerned. My LDL (the bad cholesterol) went down, which is also a good thing, so overall the doctor is happy with the general trend, but still wants my total number to come down, and recommended taking red yeast rice supplements.
Stupid oatmeal. You had one job.
t edit Also, our hot water heater decided to stop working, and it's 52 degrees out. I am not looking forward to that shower.
Jesse, trying to remember where I read that a string of 4 random words is a stronger password than the lettersplusnumberspluspunctuation that the experts recommend.
That's hard to understand, Tep. HDL up: good + LDL down: good = overall up: bad? Huh. Anyway, go you!
T-Rex tagline highfive, tommyrot!
I am so sick of passwords! I started out with one, then I had to add various numbers and symbols and capital letters, and now there are so many variations I am constantly having to reset. It is making me crazy.
I should do the affirmation thing, but I don't know what to tell myself. Hm.

Yeah, the balance of the different kinds of cholesterol is weird. Total cholesterol is HDL + LDL + 20% of the triglycerides. My triglycerides also went up a little, but they're still well within the recommended limit (on their own, I mean, not as part of my total cholesterol). So the increased HDL and the increased (yet still okay) triglycerides bumped my total number up a little. I'm not overmuch concerned, since the overall trend is good. I'm seriously annoyed at my oatmeal, though.
Anymore I just go "Still living? Still have all my limbs? Fair enough. Try to ease off on the carbs, woman" when it comes to my numbers.
I have no idea what my numbers are or what they should be. My doctors tell me and I try very hard to retain at least what, say, my blood pressure ought to be (note to self, drop by a pharmacy and check it) but it's pretty much in one ear and out the other.
