A super easy way to keep up with your old pal Katy is to subscribe to my newsletter!
Happy birthday, Mike! It’s really hard to believe that I have a brother who’s 27. I have co-workers younger than that. Weird. Also, happy anniversary to Mom and Dad!
I once again experienced the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field. I was incredibly hyped watching the MacWorld keynote, and now, while I’m still impressed, I can’t remember why I was so terribly hopping-up-and-down-in-my-chair excited with the announcements. That being said, the new Safari browser is quite excellent. It is super fast. I’ve had no problems, no errors, no crashes, no java errors, no pages refusing to display, etc. I have to say that I would definitely recommend it over InterButt Exploder or Nutscrape.
This latest headache cycle is just thrashing Doc, and me to some extent. They’ve come on suddenly and quite bad. It’s been awhile since the last bad cycle, so this is pretty disheartening. I think that Doc wants to try medication again. Maybe the imitrex, in a non-injectable form — sublingual or something, because pills don’t work fast enough. The Imitrex is supposed to possibly be bad for you, though — heart problems as a side effect. But right now, I’m feeling like we have to find a “quality of life” balance — between fighting through the pain without medication, or taking the medication and hoping that it won’t kill you in other ways. Sure, taking Imitrex is risky, but is that really any worse than spending many many precious hours of your life clawing your way through excruciating pain? As an acquaintance with CH said, “you pay your money and you take your chances.”
The cats are back to normal. They had an awful fight the other night after I accidentally stepped on Angst’s paw or tail, and we had to separate them overnight. I was completely freaked out because Angst followed me around the house for like 1/2 hour, growling and hissing at me. He actually ran at me a couple of times. It was unnerving. It took him overnight to calm down. He was still a little wary of my presence until we got home from work that evening. He’s fine now.
