Later note:
One of the things the
href="http://dichroic.diaryland.com/verdictnd.html">ND said I might have is
Wilson's Syndrome. The American Thyroid Organization

s.html">doesn't think so.
Here's another thing I don't like about the climate here: we don't get storm days.
Growing up in Philadelphia I got snow days. That one winter I sepnt in Worcester
we even got storm days, though they're slightly less cool when you're living in a
hotel rather than a house. Living in Houston we got hurricane days and ice storm
days, and the hurricanes during those 7 years always seemed to hit far enough away
that no one I knew got worse than a bit of water damage.
Here we
don't get snow or hurricanes. We do get monsoon storms severe enough to knock over
tree limbs and cut the visibility down to where it's wiser to pull off the road,
but those never last long. You don't get a day off, you just wait ten minutes for
the storm to blow by. About the only time I've gotten time off was when I got to
work from home due to the gas shortage a month or so ago and "work from home" is
not exactly the same as "time off". We need some good snowstorms here. Anyone know
where I can import one?
And on a completely different note, why is it
that no matter how much weight I can pump at the gym, holding a teeny tiny new
baby makes my arm feel like lead after only a short time?
