Critterfixer Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have returned from town. Stopped by the library and stocked picked up a third fantasy novel to compare word counts. I've been dreadfully concerned that I won't be able to get my 200K monster into something reasonable, like 125K. So I checked some published fantasy novels. To be fair, I'm sure these are all published authors and second or third books. But they are all adult fantasy, like mine. Respective counts: 160K, 180K, 150K. I think I can manage those kind of figures. :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sorry about your headache. Is it the Metaxas biography? I just read that once recently. Loved it. Slight spin off - have any of you read the Metaxas book, Seven Men and the Secret of Their Greatness? I saw the next book, Seven Women....., at the book store and was interested. But didn't buy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm back. Went to the grocery store, not the AFSA. I usually shop at the AFSA, but today I just didn't feel like it. But, the grocery store is a bit more expensive. Hmm. But I spent the greater part of the day on my bullet journal. This is fun. The setting up part is, at least. I made the mistake of looking at all the fancy schmancy ones for ideas. But I am surprising myself that I have a tad bit more artistic talent than I thought. I thought I had none at all, but I can make a pretty decent banner. So, it's fun. Hopefully I can keep it up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks for the puppy pic. Hugs to all of you. I am two days late for my injection and flaring. My right hip is flaring and my fingers are becoming stiff like I am wearing thick gloves. My rheumy had no samples. All of the Costcos were out, no ability to order.. All of the Walgreens were out. Both Sam's Clubs were out. All of the Walmarts were out. This is when I started to freak out. They have a secondary backup distribution channel and...nothing. It has gone into the national drug shortage list. There is nothing available to order. A little grocery store had ten vials on the shelf. I took my 90 day prescription in, and bought them all--it's a ten week supply for me. I paid cash for 6 of the vials as my insurance would only cover 4 of them (30 day supply). I have some breathing room now as my copay for the drug I would have to switch to is $$$. That may still have to happen, but my next rheumy appt is in feb, so I have time. :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm glad you found some. I hope the supply recovers soon. Any idea what happened to cause the shortage? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have done most of the things that required phone calls during business hours on business days. I lost count of the loads of laundry done these past two days. I'm not done, either -- still have a bunch of clothes to do, after DD15 washes her bedding. I did take some time to go through that Getting Stuff Done set of posts from simpledollar. I set up some project files for myself, and tidied up my desk area. I did several things from my inbox and labeled other items so I know what to do on them when I pick them up again. I zested and juiced about half of our lemons. I need to do some more tonight before going to bed. With luck I should finish sometime New Year's Day. The next batch of calamansi are getting riper, so NEXT weekend I will likely be dealing with at least some of them. Tomorrow I need to finish my .xls of monthly calendar grids for my journal. The grids are made and printing right; I just want to pre-populate them with birthdays and locked-in company holidays. After that I want to note down in my current journal what all I have gotten done these past few days. There's other stuff, too, that I was going to type, but it's slipping from my head now. Time to juice more lemons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yep. That happened to us, too. Dd18, who was about 6 at the time said afterwards that she really liked that word, h***s***. Sigh. We suggested it was not a good word to repeat. My late, super-duper awesome, much-lamented grandmother was an amazingly cool and fabulous woman. She would on occasion, however, lose a bit of temper. On such an occasion, she would put her hands on her hips (clothed in her "house dress") and exclaim, "Sh*t!" with a very precise inflection. One time when DD was about 18 months old, we were at my grandmother's house. DD dropped something, put her little hands on her Pull-up covered hips, and exclaimed, "Sh*t!," with PRECISELY the same inflection as her great-grandmother. I thought my grandmother was going to pee herself. The rest of us merely almost choked to death to hide our laughter so as to not encourage the little monster. It's one of my most treasured memories. :001_wub: 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm glad you found some. I hope the supply recovers soon. Any idea what happened to cause the shortage? Accord and Mylan didn't give reasons for the delay. Teva says "manufacturing delays". There have been on and off shortages of this drug for quite a while. Usually it's contamination of an ingredient or a bad batch coming off of the manufacturing line that causes the delay. Sometimes a drug is too inexpensive to profit from and only 1-2 manufacturers are left making the drug (and this is why one of my other meds went from $25-$300 this past year). Drug shortages are a fact of life for me. IMO, I think the FDA is to blame in part. They could fast-track approval of alternative supply (bring in drugs from Canada!), they could stockpile critical drugs (both of my meds prone to shortage are on the WHO essential drugs list), and they could sure as heck communicate a lot better--especially in terms of demanding answers and timelines from manufacturing companies.
