All I want to do is write on this thing (I'm probably less than 6-7K words from the end of the draft). So -- watering the garden? picking up? sweeping? washing dishes?

No time.

On another front, I've been lightheaded a lot the last couple of weeks, but I haven't lost any weight in the last week (or maybe I have, but if I have, it's been maybe a pound or two -- I'm doing that bouncing around a core number thing again), so I don't think I can be eating too little in the scheme of things. So when I see the doctor on Monday ostensibly to discuss my bloodwork (I got a preview yesterday: good HDL, good LDL, but triglycerides still 219, which is way high and much higher than my reading two and a half hyears ago when I got my first normal lipid reading. I don't know why that should be. Anyway I think I mayu be in for another period of medication adjustment because of the lightheadedness. And mild, almost subliminal nausea, like when you're hungry or frightened.

The advantage to Kaiser is you can see all your labs online.

I don't expect you to have the weird non-water-processing that I do, but considering how physical your work is, maybe you need a rehydration product, too. The cheapest way to try it is to buy Crystal Light Hydration On-the-Go at the grocery. You get ten "sticks" of powder and provide your own water and bottle. Maybe that will help.

(I got an email from the rheumatologist on the KP website today and she said the C-Reactive Protein increase is probably the heat rash and not to worry.)
