life,it's bigger
friday already! that means tomorrow there's a new doctor who to watch. always a highlight of the week.
got a couple of responses today...from my landlord regarding some paperwork i need,and from a prospective new therapist that takes medicare and has an office nearby. also paid a couple of bills by phone. so not a do-nothing day. even though my productivity is pitiful according to average standards,it's been okay this week. one day was a total wipeout/sleepin. but that's better than three of those days in a row.
started reading 'emperor of all maladies' which is a history of cancer,after finishing 'the hot zone',about ebola. studying about some medical history. my interest in learning is trumping my hypochondria at the moment. becoming interested in a subject is one of the best medicines for what ails me. speaking of which,going on the premise that the cause of my acid reflux is that i don't have ENOUGH stomach acid to digest my food and so it just sits there and pushes up above the esophagaul sphincter,i have started taking a pepsin/hcl supplement. taking the smallest possible dose with meals,and it seems to be helping. i feel like i'm actually digesting some food. it's actually weird to be 'regular',to be blunt,but i feel a bit better.
on that note...ha. okay,i'll talk about the cat. during a fight over my spot on the couch,i decide to remove her,and she did not like that,and her teeth made contact with my wrist. luckily,i was just scraped,and she did not draw blood. i have to be more careful. the antibiotics they give you for cat bites is nasty,and medical attention costs money. i need a hazmat suit to pick up sunny. well,maybe just some gardening gloves or rubber gloves or something. some kind of 'protection'.
michael stipe is now an art professor. awesome.
the offerings on pbs are not as exciting tonight as it was on tuesday (nature,nova,frontline) or wednesday,but still better than pledge time. is it baseball season yet?

I remember reading an excerpt from The Hot Zone (with the woman who found blood in her surgical glove and raced back through decontamination levels) and nearly had a heart attack from that much. End of the world stuff.
It's great you're enjoying Capaldi as the Doctor. :)
no subject
the guy who wrote hot zone wrote it in thriller fashion,that's for sure,but he also did a lot of in person research.
right now i'm watching the george reeves superman,and then it will be batman! went to walmart for food this afternoon and it was filled with old folks like me. ha!
