Two more arrows in the quiver

I've got nettle and bromelain now, too. Nettle is particularly nifty: it seems to work well with NSAIDs, giving a big multiplier to the drugs' effectiveness. Most excellent. Gimme.

My purse is bulging with all the things (pills, Blue Goo) I carry back and forth to work. Some things want to be 3x/day spaced out evenly, some want to be with meals, some I only need 1x/day.

MORNING: NSAID, nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil, glucosamine/chondroitin, standard multivitamin: 16 pills.
LUNCH: nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil: 8 pills.
MIDAFTERNOON: NSAID, 3 pills.
DINNER: nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil: 8 pills.
NIGHT: NSAID, hormones: 4 pills.

Plus the Blue Goo 2-3x/day and the icing and the no sweets, of course.

This gets old.

Important Safety Tip: when taking sixteen pills right in a row, don't wash every one of 'em down with carbonated water. I feel like I just ate a rock. A big rock.

I have plane tickets

I have plane tickets to go see The Mikado. The eastbound leg is a redeye with a plane-change four hours in. That'll be tasty.

I have no idea how I'm getting out to Natick from the airport, but hey, I'll figure out something. If nothing else Boston has public transportation. My parents aren't but two miles from a commuter rail station, and they're even less far from an airport bus that might still be running. Extra bonus points: it's winter, so if I walk a couple miles I'm also icing my feet! Yeah OK, that was lame humor. And that last sentence was worse.

Now I don't know whether to tell my parents ahead of time or surprise them. 8-) 8-) Maybe I'll find out whether they have come across my LiveJournal yet!
