Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Bhk eyes red and puffy - pepper reaction seems to be getting worse. She went with me to see to Dr moody - confirmed that i should stay out until at least Monday. Prescribed some drops for BHK, and rest for me.  I will have a follow-up appt on Wednesday.

Got epidural (ouch.), appointment with cardio, met with back doc, got spore, Mexican food and maggie moo's.




Wal-mart drew the last straw, and is now on the official boycott list - poor service plus bad business practices in the pharmacy.

While BHK was reading bergdorf blonds, I played spore - somehow I can't use the critter I created in the demo creator in a spore game -still investigating why that is.

Went grocery shopping - Cranberry sierra mist is back and I  got creme de menthe altoids - sad to see the mandarin orange mist gone.

As for walkies - we've laid out a reward plan - we have a bundle of space-critter buttons, and for each goal, we get an additional "merit badge" - after we get up to distance, it'll be repetition. My goal is 5 miles a walk, three walks a week.

So far -

5 badges each--earned

1 after 5x 1 mile walks---Allison got a space piggy, Scott got a red astro-kitty

2 after 4x 2 mile walks

3 after 3x 3 mile walks

4 after 2x 4 mile walks

5 after 1x 5 miles walk!

Spoke to Brittney about getting serum ready for Saturday, and maybe an EKG at the same time. *please* let it be ready - this'll be the third week out. I think it's likely that we'll get some this go 'round.

Went to the allergist yesterday.

Here are the results of the "poke test".

It turns out that I am quite allergic to:

• Grasses: Bermuda, Johnson, Bahia.



• Trees: Melaleuca, Mango, Australian Pine, Willow, Olive



• Weeds: Baccharis, Dog Fennel, Ragweed++, Cockleburr, Lambs Quarters, English Plantain



• Molds: Hormodendrum, Corn Smut, Bermuda Smut, Johnson Smut.



• Inhalants: House Dust Mites++, Cat Dander++, Dog Dander++, House Dust Mites "P"4++, Cockroach (American), Fly, Moth, Cockroach (German)

++denotes the worst possible reaction, the rest listed are rated as just "really bad".

First off, Newton will not be moving out of the house. He's family, and I can be treated for this.

What that boils down to is that I need to get allergy shots because I live on Planet Earth near other major forms of life.

It'll start at baby doses once a week, and gradually go to a maintenance dose of once a month or so. I've also been advised to get a HEPA filter for the house.

So, my periodically itchy skin and eyes should clear up soon.

Want to see pictures of my arm pierced by little distillations of bug, cat and tree parts held in solution?

Minor blood on a hairy bicep warning for the squeamish.

( Poke-poke-drip-drip-swell. )

I've got Zyrtec to suppress the symptoms if they get bad while I build up to the allergy shots. He gave me a boatload of samples, so I won't have to drop a huge wad at the pharmacy right away.

Added flattery of the day, Candice gave me her number in a book of matches. How Noir of her. She's a cutie, too... I seem to have the best "find a new mate" luck when I'm busy being loyal/monogamous and such. No Johnson Smut for me.

Google maps now has a "hybrid" screen, with streets and other detail overlaying sat-maps.

Moment of Lyric: (Flash cartoon w/sound)

I love you
I really really do
I love you
I hope you love me too
I look in your eyes
and I think that you're great
stick with me for a while and
I'll always be your mate
you know I'll always be your mate
you know I love you
you're better than ice cream
I love you
you lovely lovely dream
I fall into your arms
and everything's ok
you're my sunshine and my love
on a rainy rainy day
you know I love you
I really really do
you know I love you
I really really
really really
do

Best when sung by a freaky Newt-looking kitty. A lot nicer than this one.
