I ate ham and cheese roll-ups for dinner The Lind where you have lettuce instead of bread, but otherwise dress it as a sandwich. And some pickles.
I too would like to hear about amyth's adventures
I now have an appointment for a spay, and I actually called because they were not emailing me back!
Edit- Well Petunia has the spay, I set the appointment because she cannot talk
Also, I hate it when people call it a "spray". I am very cranky and I am actually trying to embrace it, though instead of just pushing it down to come out in anxiety.
Timelies all!
I saw snow flurries today on my way home. That's not right.(Luckily, nothing is sticking)
It never got beyond flurries here -- nothing that stuck, even as it got colder (it's 30 now, 19 by morning, maybe). Any winter day without shoveling is a good day by me.
No flurries here, but I might be able to open my windows tonight. I really like when the weather breaks and we can open up again.
I dressed for yesterday's weather today, which was a mistake.
Also, my umbrella cut me both times I closed it! It's new, but I think I might just throw it away.
Jesse has an eldritch umbrella that possibly is using her blood to summon a demon, pass it on.
I shoveled snow off of my car this morning.

Jesse has an old rich fella that possibly is using her blood to summon a diamond, pass it on!
Is someone here taking methotrexate (maybe for arthritis)? I seem to recall it coming up.
How are you tolerating it? Are you on a strong dose? Have you had many side effects? Have you found any tricks to limiting side effects?
My son has to start taking it to help out his IV Remicade (his main Crohn's Disease drug). Because Remicade is a biologic, patients can develop antibodies to it over time, which can both render ineffective and cause reactions.
He hadn't developed antibodies the last we checked, but his last infusion (before today) was on July 31st. When you've gone off Remicade for a while (he had to, for his surgery) and then resume, there's more of a risk that you'll develop antibodies.
He'll be taking 10mg of methotrexate once a week, and 1mg of folic acid every day (because methotrexate makes you eliminate folic acid faster than usual).
He had his first loading Remicade infusion today. He's planning to take the methotrexate tomorrow. They suggested taking it at night, in case it caused nausea. We decided on Wednesdays, because next semester, he has no classes on Thursdays, so we figured it was a good to add a buffer day in there.
