she's like a rainbow

We are in the midst of moving. boo. I don't mind unpaking - that is kinda fun, but packing and hauling heavy shit around - yuk.

I had clinic today. Mostly I just want to record what happened for my own records. So, according to them I have lost 11 lbs - yeah! according to me it is 14 - either way I am definitely down a pant size, in fact my pants have a big pooch in the belly of empty fabric - yea for success. I would still be OK if I lost 10 more lbs, but I won't complain if I can lost about 7 more.

My PFTS were down to 69 (74 at last visit, I think) and I was sooo congested and rattley I had not really noticed until I tried to do PFTS. So the gal (a different PT than usual) had me do an albuterol treatment, something I have never done at clinic (serioulsy) and I was back to 74. So I guess that is OK, but I sounded pretty bad and could barley make it to the end or take that last deep breath in.

I asked for a bone density test, cholesterol. and all my vitamin panels (my D has been low for like a year) - look at me being proactive.

I also requested to go on IVs at some point before the year is over since I have met my deductible and my insurance is paying all my bills now. I want a good clean out, especially since - though my labs two two weeks ago again showed susceptibility to cipro - we seem to be wavering on the availability of orals. So, I am guesing end of OCtober, early November we'll do them unless I get sick before that.

Anyway, that is about the gist of it. Nothing too exciting. I will take some house pics when we get settled - we're going from not quite 1000 sq feet to nealry 3000 so I am pretty excited, but busy busy busy!

the ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah

DISGUSTING! OMFG I AM GOING TO PUKE.

There is one thing I hate in this world, and I don't hate much, but I hate earwigs (technically more than one thing, but we'll think of all earwigs as one big earwig). I hate them. They give me the creeps so bad. I don't kill any bugs, I don't hate any bugs, but I HATE earwigs. I still don't kill them, cuz killing bugs grosses me out, but I get all fruity tooty screamy when I see them, like stand on a chair and point kinda freaked out.

So this morning I am nebbing. But my compressor keeps acting all wierd. I turned it off, then on, unhooked the tubing and reattached it and it would work fine for a few minutes then stop again. I got through my treatment and when I unhooked the tubing and took the neb cup off a fucking earwig fell out of the bottom of the tubing. OMG. I was inhaling earwig germs. I want to die. I have no idea how I did not see it in there. i can only guess there was some moisture in the end of the tubing and it crawled in. I feel like I am going to die from some unknown earwig disease. serioously. I want to be admitted immediately. gawd.

In other news, I have lost 7 pounds. The secret to my success? No more soda nd juice - that's been the biggest factor. So I guess if you want to gain, drink a coke in the morning, a few glasses of juice throughout the day and then like 5 rum and cokes before bed at night. Surefire way to pack on the pounds.
