meanwhile in the non-internets...
I mentioned a bit ago that elsmi and I are moving to Edinburgh (yes, Scotland). Meant to do a real post about it, dropped that ball.
Anyway. Status now: we have visas. We have our passports back wiv the visas. We've given notice. We're talking to international movers about costs; we've had people in the last three days to figure out how big our shipment would be. Their estimates are not consistent, not sure what to make of that. We're sorting through our stuff and sending a whole lot of it to Goodwill.
When we move, now, depends on the movers & the tickets. But end of the month seems likely.
Meanwhile, we're using ALL THE SPOONS and shaking up ALL THE DUST and I am a noodle. I normally manage to be up from midmorning til early evening by not doing much; taking extra drugs for this and I'm still going through all my spoons in like 2 hours. And I'm probably going to be breathing in chords till we get there.
Ooooof.
Had more blood work done before leaving, and I'll see the endocrinologist once more next week; the numbers are not that good, though certainly much better than they were a year ago. Cortisol chiming in at 4.2, which is below morning range; but it may just be we got the test done too late & past the peak, so it's not bad. Except... my TSH seems to go up when my body notices me being hypoadrenal, and it's up now. I haven't actually cut down on the cortisol. So maybe I still have an infection & my body is all WUT WHERE IS MA CORTISOL? IDK.
Don't have ACTH results, dunno if they did that test or not.
So, that's me. Vowing through the wheezing yet again that I'm not, darnit, going to collect so many THINGS in the next place.
