Woke up this morning to find my leg looking and feeling better than it has in months. I think these shots are actually working (knock on wood). If only they didn't wake me so damn sleepy (went to bed at 6:30 last night which is why I'm up now) but... Cei-U! I cross my fingers! Glad you're feeling better. I was gonna suggest putting your brain into a robotman body.

There are a few threads I follow at CBR that CCF doesn't quite have an analog for or wouldn't quite fit the tone here, plus the occasional odd thread that seems interesting, but for the most part not much is happening there. Frankly, I don't see much difference between the new and old CBR, but then again, I wasn't ever in any of the threads where the drama went down, so it's likely I just missed the worst of it then.
PZ, you may want to hit the doctor as others have said if you're still sick. Your school may well have a free/cheap/heavily subsidized health center on campus for doctor services. My undergrad did, but that was...oh, wow..too many years ago.
Cei-U! - Welcome back! Kick that infection (pun intended. Leg? Get it? Right? See, what I did...what? Okay, I'll see myself out, no need for the goons).

Speaking of Doctors, I have been putting off making a new appointment with mine. Its mostly out of worry because the last session left me feeling worse than when I entered the room. Sometimes a Doctor lords over the patient and even when you do speak up, sometimes you feel your concerns are being brushed aside and are not being taken seriously. Its almost as though the Doctor feels well they are the expert and have the certificates and you being the patient, what would you know? It can make things a little tense.

At some point I need to find a new doctor. I like the one I've had ever since moving here nearly 13 years ago, but I found out recently that he's no longer on our insurer's preferred list, which means that instead of having a pretty high percentage (not sure how much ... it varies by procedure, I guess) covered, I'm paying all of it. Which is no big deal at this point -- if anything, it means that I won't have to worry about using all of my medical Flexible Spending Account, which otherwise might've been a problem because various somewhat expensive things I had done last year (colonoscopy, I think new orthotics devices for my shoes,. maybe a root canal or wisdom tooth extraction) haven't recurred this year. (Knock wood.)
Meanwhile, I'll have to go through a god-only-knows-how-long list of preferred physicians, then find out who's accepting patients & who isn't (many if not most of them, from what I hear). It's always something ...

Meanwhile, here at the office I'm on a borrowed laptop because for some ungodly reason my machine won't connect to the internet, despite having been perfectly fine when I shut down yesterday, & despite. Not exactly ideal for the office's online editor, really.
In the meantime, I'm awaiting feedback on a news release I banged out after a 90-minute delay because of the computer crap. *sigh* And of course at the moment the laptop isn't connected to any of the office printers, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but I do prefer to proof on paper when possible. And of course I'm also not cleared for social media, so I guess I'm hoping the news release isn't approved till a co-worker gets back from lunch & will be able to post (with my overnight; she's brand-new at taking on most of the social media responsibilities) on the corporate FB & Twitter accounts.
And of course I don't have Photoshop, either, though she does if it comes to that.

Also meanwhile, the Gang of 5 has become the Gang of 6, assuming that the 5-week-or-so-old tuxedo kitten (male, I think) my next-door neighbor brought over last night has survived potential depradations by Sweet Jane & Sandy in my bedroom by the time I get home after work. The neighbor knows I'm a mark for felines needing homes, of course -- she's the one who gave me Allie at about 8 days old about 13 months ago. And in her defense, she has 8 cats of her own, & I believe a couple of dogs as well, & otherwise would've loved to add this one, but just couldn't swing it.
The kitten (haven't come up with a name, obviously) has been enduring a bit of hissing & swatting from Sweet Jane, Sandy, Bucky (who was in the bedroom for a limited time last night) & especially Allie, but I'm not worried. That's exactly how the late, great Howie, then about 10 months old or so, reacted when I brought Bucky in at about 5 weeks. Within a few days, they were fast friends.
Here's hoping ...

Does water know it's wet?

Oh, wait. Getting a little off-track there, I guess.

Waiting at least 90 minutes just to say "I need a refill on my meds" and then get charged $88 is really good.
