I have the most normal lipids I have ever had in my whole life.

Tada! I mean they are not just in the normal range, they are smack dab in the middle. Thanks to weight lost, new food plan, and doubling my simvastatin.

My A1c glycolated hemoglobin is still 6.1, but the doctor says that's good because it hasn't risen, and if I keep it like that for the rest of my life he'll be pleased.

I'm still at 39 pounds lost, which is three pounds or so short of where I wanted to be right now, and honestly I don't think it's likely I'll catch up before the New Year.

In other words, I'm healthy. I have a kajillion diagnoses, but I'm healthy. If I never went to the doctor, I would be healthier on paper and much sicker in real life. Ironic, right?

and my stepmother is doing well, and I'm seeing her this weekend. And saying goodbye to Rosemary, who is leaving for Wisconsin, where she's from a long time ago.

and cruzio is giving free domains for a year this weekend. Which means, yes, I'm claiming ritaxis.

Thanks to all you kind folks here and the nice people at Making Light, I sent the young doctor a link to an address for Western Union in Prague, and also asked him to set up a pay pal account with his Czech bank as a base for it. Still to do: his loans for next year -- in his court, because I sent him the forms, though I have to sign them too -- and getting his account in his California bank usable.

Saturday's storylet, possibly because it was painfully composed on Emma's recalcitrant apple powerbook, grew, and grew, and grew, so that it subsumed Sunday's storylet and today's storylet and still is not done at 4K.

I will post it when I have forced it to cough up a conclusion.

On another front, I did escape seeing "Happy Feet" with my Rosemary and Maia (who is eleven and was being given "Happy Feet" as a consolation prize for not going to Circle), but I also missed out on the 40th anniversary showing of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and I didn't go to the deYoung to see the Ruth Asawa exhibit and the quilting exhibit, but I will do that last thing, and drag the nice fellow with me because while he is bizarrely untouched by the magic that is Ruth Asawa, he is not untouched by the magic that is the deYoung.
