forgetfulness

wow, i cannot stick to anything. i give up on trying to remember to write happy stuff daily. maybe i shoulda hung a sign in the bathroom. the good news is I just finished Lamb (highly recommend!) and am almost done with the Zombie Survival Guide (also awesome -- so is World War Z).

definitely going to check out more of Christopher Moore... i love his style, and hubs has listened to a bunch of his stuff on audiobook and really enjoyed it. the BN reader app on the ipod touch is just awesome. great, now on top of all the $$ i spend on new music through itunes and amazon, it's now supereasy to download books. best part is not having to worry about storing/donating/trading the actually object when I'm done (i have about a ton of books i already need to find new homes for - anyone wanna come over and pick up some free books?).

i think this is the first time i've actually read the book for bookclub and finished it. that's a milestone for me :) well, not counting the first book, bluest eye, that i read in college and only sort of remembered. and that one book i didn't read because I didn't have time, but the group said it was awful anyway. and I did finish one book, The Art of Racing in the Rain, which was good but then i was too sick to actually go to the book club meeting.

this week will be the first week off no prednisone, all humira. i gotta remember to watch what i eat, because pred gave me the ability to eat whatever, and i'm learning that's not really true with humira. i'm on weekly dosing, which means thursday, fridays, and saturdays are generally good days. hopefully, i'd like to expand that to sunday and monday soon, then eventually get 7 good days a week (i'm sooo greedy!). i have my next checkup on december 1st -- plenty of time to have a good trial of humira. if i'm still having issues, i may ask to try adding on MTX -- from what I see on boards and articles and whatnot, alot of people have success with the combo therapy. but i'm pretty sure that if i'm not all set with humira, i'm gonna have to go see my doc's colleague and get that second opinion. which is cool, i mean, the fewer meds the better, and maybe there is something I missed during my summer as a guinea pig
