Free-For-All Friday

1 On Tuesday Dr. E put me on synthetic T3 (Cytomel) for my hypothyroidism, and I already feel the difference. Please, please, never me make me go through that again. With barely two daily doses the depression lifted, my energy returned, and I quit going basically comatose after every meal.

2 I began playing Civilization III last night and I can’t figure out what all the fuss is about. My cities are in constant civil unrest, there are virtually no instructions, and the graphics aren’t even all that great. I guess you have to like war or something.

3 No Get Drunk Friday for me. I’m following Nettl’s low-carb, no sugar, pre-diabetic diet for the next two weeks, but I will be backsliding at her birthday party tomorrow night.

4 Can you waltz? I can, and I love it. I also enjoy a good minuet, although I’ve forgotten the series of steps, or at least the order of them.

5 There’s a certain house I always dream about and when I wake up, I’m always disappointed that it was only a dream. It has secret rooms and secret passageways, is made entirely of wood, and is three storeys tall. I’m probably revealing something about myself to the dream interpretation experts out there.

6 Nettl’s ex purposely left his digital camera here a couple of months ago. I’ve not used it, but I would like to. Problem is, he didn’t leave the software or cords it takes to use it in conjunction with a computer. I wonder if I could buy these things somewhere. Any ideas?

  2. So glad you are feeling better. You may think it’s the T3, but I think it was the Chinese buffet we had for lunch the other day.

  9. Athlynne, we will do for you what we have done in the past for friends who couldn’t make it to parties. We will pour you a glass of wine, and set it near where you would be sitting, and every now and then, who ever passes it will take a drink. I just hope we know how to hold your liquor.
    :-)

  11. Re: CivIII…

    You need more emphasis on circuses. Get a Wonder that acts like opium. There’s a couple.

    Just sayin’.

  12. Athlynne,
    I really wish you could have been here too! Steph really does know how to throw a party! It was great. And thanks so much for the Gutman, Mozart biography. Steph has it, but I never took the time to sit down and read it. Now that I have my own copy it motivated me to read it. Steph always said that it is a great book, one the best Mozart bios out there, and she/he was right. It’s a great book and I’m really enjoying it! I took the time to inscribe it with your name and the date and occasion that you gave it to me. It was certainly an unexpected and lovely surprise.
