Like Jessica, I keep my butter room temperature.

Definitely. And I get slightly annoyed if DP is keeping it so cold downstairs that it gets a little too cold to spread just so. I keep it to myself, but I feel it could be useful to a defense attorney if needed, you know, ever.

On the lighter side, here's the story of why He-Man has a green tiger. Necessity, yada yada ....

It is too hot for me to keep butter out of the fridge enough of the time that I can't make it a habit. And in the winter time out on the counter is pretty close to the same temperature as in the fridge, honestly. My kitchen is never really comfortable temperature wise, for me or for butter.

I am sorry about that. You should both be comfortable.

Oh, in exciting news, I am getting my first professional haircut in two years in a couple of hours! Pixieland, here I come.

Butter sits out on the counter, toast gets fully buttered. I try not to pierce the toast.

Cindy, that's such a frustrating situation C. is in. And you can't just easily fix it as his mom.

Thank you Teppy and Calli! It IS frustrating.

If you have the kind of illness where you need juice, soup, ginger ale, and cross dosing of Tylenol and ibuprofen, I am your gal. Need to elevate this, ice that, cleanse the other thing, change a dressing, keep tabs on 5 different meds, some of which can't be taken within a couple of hours of each other, while some need an empty stomach and others need a full one? Hit me up. I'm a pro and have the homemade charts to prove it. I can pinpoint a fever with 0.5 degrees F, by touching my lips to your forehead.

Illnesses mothering can't fix offend me. They're scabs, and my shop is a union shop.

It sounds like switching back to Remicade is the best way forward;

I hope so, and if it is, I hope he can. The thing is, this vasculitis is rare (particularly for someone of his age/overall good physical condition). Had he been on it still, Remicade conceivably *could* have caused it (but he's been off for six months). Remicade is infliximab. Inflectra is infliximab-dyyb. The med change is the only notable change in anything in the past six months

(And I don't say this out in the wider world wide web, because I don't want want to feed the anti-vaxxers, but he had his 2nd Pfizer shot two days before his most recent infusion, so there's a chance some flukey reaction happened -- but it's just that both were back in March, so it's hard to say what caused this at all.)

I haven't made an appointment to get my hair cut, because I'm in one of those stages where I don't know what I want to do with it. Your mention of "Pixieland" made me tingle though, Jen, as did Beverly cutting off six inches of her hair. I did the latter to myself about a year ago, but it turns out hair grows back.

I need to color, too. I look like a skunk.

Well, I say "I have work," but I'm currently looking at Ruggable rugs online. Has anyone gotten a rug from them? I'm curious if they live up to their marketing.

We have 2 and I love them! Although we haven't yet put either in the washing machine. They spot clean well enough.

I can report happiness in Pixieland, Cindy. OMG, so much better.

Hmmm. I hadn't heard of Ruggable before today. Interesting!

Timelies all!

Getting warm here.
