Molehill, maybe, a small swale of laundry......but not a mountain. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ok, query for those with autoimmune stuff......should I wait until I am well to get my inflammation marker labs done? I'm still pretty well down with this cold--coughing like a chain smoking asthmatic in a pollen factory, but no fever. ---edited for grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Also, my hammock underquilt has won 1st Prize! It fits and functions well; warm, simple to make and use, lightweight, and cheap. (By cheap, I mean it cost about $17 for the lightweight sleeping bag, cord, and 4 cincher things, plus about 2 hours of work to put it together. Most lightweight backpacking underquilts cost $65-175.) 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right - probably closer to molehill size, though the boxes made everything look much bigger and more treacherous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 :nodding: Laundry is almost always treacherous. On a related note, I found a HUGE bottle of Bac-Out at the local grocery store. It is my most precious tool in fighting Boy Funk in synthetic fabrics. I couldn't find it in TX, so I literally did a happy dance in the aisle. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure my WBC is high at this point and the Sudafed, etc May be messing with my liver enzymes. I will put a call in to the nurse and see what this rheumy’s thoughts are. My previous rheumatologist said my cr-p would be up but not my sed if I was sick. I just don’t want to risk being targeted for a med switch if my real problem is that I have a cold and had to miss my immuno-suppressor injection.

Susan in TN Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It's time to go - I haven't heard back from Choir Boy's mom, so we will skip the visit and head straight to lessons. The essays are more like 3 or 4 word paragraphs but they will have to do. My kids will not likely ever be awarded a music lesson scholarship based on essay writing or personal charm. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
