We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call it's only then
I might pull in the reins.
-Paul Gross, "Ride Forever"

They can neutralize the HIV virus now
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
*thinks of all the people who have died from AIDS complications*
*thinks of my sister*
Holy shit, people.

My boss has walking pneumonia again. It started as a sinus infection. He gets sick like this every year around this time (it's always bacterial). Looks like I'll be clocking in more half-hour overtime every day in the next week, as he'll need to leave early a lot.

My legs have recovered. I can walk normally, although the muscles are still tight. It's okay. I'm just happy I can get down stairs again. However, I'm in a massive fibro flare and struggling not to scream.

My skin has already become overly dry and it's not even winter. I'm going through my tins of Nourishing Skin Balm from BunnysBath.com like crazy. Lyn's about to get another order from me. Also, the Raynaud's Disease is flaring early. Yay.

I had a really good lunch, though, from Camille's Sidewalk Cafe: The Michelangelo Hot Wrap (grilled hot wrap with herb-garlic tortilla, grilled chicken breast, red onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, black olives, thyme, rosemary, & balsamic glaze), a small salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, and a gooey chocolate chunk cookie that I microwaved and ate warm.

This had better be bigger than all those celebrity freakshow headlines or I'm gonna pound someone.

Though winter is my favorite time of year, it wrecks havoc on my skin.

The top of my right hand gets it the worst for some reason. The skin cracks and gets all red. I put lotion on it every time I think of it, and though it might get a little better, it still hurts like hell.

I'm going to ask the doctor about it once we move. It's bad for your hand to make you wince in pain while you're simply trying to bend the fingers, ya know?

I would suggest avoiding lotion and going for a balm, or a pure oil blend. Balms and salves are very thick and don't need emulsifiers or chemicals to hold the ingredients together like in lotions. I find that the emulsifiers in lotions can make my cracked skin hurt worse.

Thank you. I'll ask the doctor about that when I go see him/her.

I put that HIV news on my LJ yesterday, isn't that fantastic? The little hairs on the back of my neck stood up!

What do we want?
To neutralize the HIV virus!
When do we want it?
NOW!

Oh. They did.

That's awesome news, obviously. Of course, I've seen no word of it anywhere else, which is sad.
