oh - good reminder I need to buy an office chair.
I am getting rid of mine for another. I currently have this one from IKEA: [link] It's perfectly fine and really comfortable. The only reason I'm changing it is because of aesthetics. My current obsession is making my workspace more unified and less cluttered.
It's yours if you want it. I need to order the new one, so I can't tell you exactly when it will be available, but if you can hold out....
Cinnamon Toast Crunch:
Oy, meara. That's just a whole bunch of wrong. She especially should know better.
Dana, I hope the hives disappear quickly.
Cass, you can only do what you can do. Eff 'em if it's not enough.
Toddson, your new place sounds lovely. Will you still be in the same neighborhood?
Dana, once when I had a weird reaction to something that give me hives, my doctor told me that in addition to antihistamines, I could also take any of the acid blockers that are histamine-2 antagonists (Axid, Zantac, Tagamet, Pepcid, or any of their generics). Apparently, even though the histamine they target is primarily in the GI tract, they also are helpful in dermatological allergic reactions. And it did actually help my hives.
So if the new antihistamine isn't helpful enough, you could try adding Zantac to see if it helps.
Maria, YES! I bill buy that off you. holler when you get a new one and I will ROADTRIP UP!!
If I'm not mistaken, it's omnis' yahrzeit today.
If the new drugs don't help, I will probably move to the next step of cutting off my arm. It's the left one, so I don't really need it.
But thanks for the info. We might have some of that lying around here.
Maria, it's a different neighborhood, but not too far from where I've been living. I'm REALLY looking forward to not having to climb a steep hill whenever I need to go anywhere. Going to have to come up with new routines, but it's right near a Metro stop, so transportation should be easier.
Learned something scary at work. If we get another order for non essential businesses to close we will be laid off because we can only be furloughed once in a time frame.
Considering how many people are not being safe I assume I will be laid off in June at least by July.
Looks like Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer have split up and she's already leaking messy drama.
