It’s working, Hurrah!

   Posted by: Caprica    in family, health

Just got back from taking youngest son to the dermatologist for his monthly check. He’d gotten a blood test before 7 a.m. this morning as he is on high levels of Accutane (”he’s a big guy”) and they have to make sure that his liver is not being compromised.

He is looking really good. Those stubborn, awful, deep patches have healed completely and I was sure he was going to scar badly from them. Luckily, they were worst at the temple near his hairline and they are in fact fading–the acne has been long gone for some time. The doctor says two more months and he can discontinue the Accutane. It’s been a bit of a hassle, especially the before school blood tests, but definitely worth it.

Nice rack

I think it’s pretty much a a standard thing that cars come with power steering which includes the steering rack, steering box, and other parts that can need repair or replacement. Replacement parts however can be darned expensive but you don’t want to skimp on quality and find yourself needing to get repairs again. So what do you do? Go with powersteeringprosdotcom because they have all the steering parts you can imagine (and beyond!) and you’ll have the security of of a full warranty. You’ll also enjoy free shipping. Given how “weighty” some auto parts can be free shipping truly factors into making this a great deal.

It’s gonna be a long one

   Posted by: Caprica    in blogging, me, weather

Well that was not too bad. I just changed the template to my blog and it has not yet been very painful. I’m uncertain about whether some code made the transition smoothly but I’ll know for sure by tonight and if it didn’t it won’t be world-ending–it’s fixable.

Regardless, the template that I fell in love with almost a year ago, though quite striking didn’t really have  the bells and whistles to meet my needs. This one has an issue that if I can truly figure out how to adjust the code I’ll fix up but I’m loathe to start monkeying with code for fear of messing “everything” up.

I know weather talk is frowned upon but damn! it’s getting cold.

Last night was the first night  when I walked Raven that the temperatures were so low that my eyes watered. And it was only 50 degrees! I’d forgotten  how overly-sensitive my eyes are to the “cold.” I wish I’d remembered to be thankful over the summer for the lack of runny nose and watery eyes. <sigh> It’s gonna be a long one.
