....otherwise "01-11-11". That has to be historical. Only thing that'll be better will be in November, right? Because that'll be "11-11-11". Now THAT is cool.
On the "me" front - still battling the Blarg. Able to stay awake for a few hours at a time. Sleeping great - but I still feel like my old "me" is lying around somewhere. I still am hoping that some combination of things will stir the Old Me into coming home.
This afternoon I'm going to talk to someone who might have some answers - and some insights.
I'm also going out for lunch shortly. I'll order something Mr. Dearling likes so we can share it!
PS: Evangeline....and Mr Dearling....are taking CAPITAL care of me, and Lilliane is helping too. At the end of this I'll report on what effect 10 hours a day of "Law and Order" and "CSI" has on the human brain.

The Blarg, phase two
OK, so I went to the doctor again today. Now - my own doctor is on vacation (if anyone ever deserves a vacation it's a good and thoughtful doctor) so I saw one of her partners. I like my doctor a lot. I like her partner even more.....
Turns out she's young, very friendly, and shares a whole bunch o' Points of Commonality with us:
1. She's an MOT (Jewish....we refer to one another informally as "members of the tribe");
2. She's a transplanted New Yorker - in fact, grew up on Long Island (as did Mr. Dearling);
3. Her husband is a goy (non-Jew...NOT a derogatory term; Mr. Dearling is also goyesha)
4. We have some friends in common!
So I enjoyed visiting with her. But we weren't there for tea - in fact, Mr. Dearling had a list. So we went over everything, she took notes, ordered a couple more tests (*blood tests...see below) and changed out a couple of prescriptions. I've said it before - I'll say it again: I'm a believer in Better Living Through Chemistry. In this case....from my lips to God's ears.
So we'll see what the next couple of days hold - hopefully some improvement because as much as I love "CSI" (the original one) I'm beginning to tire of it, as I watch it all day. This is still a Heckuva Major Drag.
Blarg.
*Blood Tests: I have perfectly lovely large vein s in my elbows (I may have mentioned that before, too tired to go back and look - apologies, if so). And I have no qualms, fears, problems about blood draws. At least not by normal phlebotomists in lab coats. Long capes, sparkling teeth - not so sure.

Insult to Injury...
Well, here I am again - STILL in the doldrums. Not feeling much better. ANY better. Plus...I seem to be coming down with a cold. Sneezing my head off. Coughing some (repaired by honey-filled cough drops, though - at least).
Going back to doctor today - my own is off for a couple of weeks, so a different one. Not sure what on earth the outcome will be...but let me tell you, I am entirely and thoroughly worn out, fed up, disgusted, bored and tired of The View from The Couch.
Still too weary to hold up a book; nothing in the head to write, and I've probably knitted 75 stitches since -- oh -- December 2 or so. (I can say that pretty precisely - I have a scarf on the needles that's 25 stitches wide.)
Having sat up long enough to write this, I'm plumb worn out and will take to my chaise for a nap.
I'll try to report back after the visit to La Medecine....
