Visitors...
Amos and I had a visitor the other day:
Amos was scared, but I was wondering why it was just lying there. I guess moths nap, because after a while he took off.
Of course, posting this close-up shows me that, actually, maybe I should changed my mind about re-sealing the porch next year instead of now (once Firewood Man power washes it).
Today, I spotted another visitor in my neighbor's yard:
This little guy and three bunny siblings were born this spring in her front yard. I cannot tell if just one is sticking around or all of them and we are seeing different ones.
Last night, I finally gave Amos his long overdue bath. He was rather stinky from all his nervousness over my pruning labors. That meant I had to do laundry, between his bath towels, the bedding, and all the dirty clothing that I have been ignoring for quite a while.
Six loads.
I feel like I'm running a laundry mat.
At least my critical clothing supplies are replenished.
We had sunshine today. I almost did not recognize it. So, just now, Amos and I are enjoying the airing porch for the first time in weeks and weeks and weeks. More rain is coming, though. Rivers here are flooding. And homes.
I am on the second full day of bumping up the theophylline just a bit. The cardiologist would like to see if 600 mg would be okay, given that I cut my 800 mg dose in half due to the increased levothyroxine. So, right now, having picked up a prescription of 100 mg pills, I am taking 500 mg. I do believe that I am the teeniest less apt to faint/near faint when bending over. My heart, last night, was not quite so wonky when rolling over. But maybe I am just wishing for things to be better. I am not, at least, feeling the symptoms of theophylline toxicity as I was at 800 mg.
It took me quite a long time to figure out how to combine the 12-hour pills and the 24-hour pill. I finally decided to take the former at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM and the latter at noon. Then, I switched the levothyroxine from 3:00 AM (ish) to midnight, which gives me a 12-hour window between the initial surge of theophylline that comes from swallowing a pill. I hope my medication math is right.
You know what a talented mathematician I am.......
