Quite the 4-day Weekend: A Gallery
What happens when someone comes over for a long-time-coming reuinion? Lots and lots and lots of photos and activities, that’s what. We went over to the in-laws’ house Tuesday after work for a family dinner, Thursday for Turkey Day, Friday to Dade City for antique shopping, to the beach on Saturday, and back over to their house today for games and relaxing during our first storm in weeks.
Enjoy the photos.

I Got the “All Clear” for the ALZI Trial
I received a call this afternoon from the trial representative at the hospital that I passed the last step to being on the trial: being sick. Well, I ain’t that sick (yes, as my “former Dean of the English department” professor tells us in my level 4000 grammar class, that is gramatically correct), but I did test positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fell within all of the other criteria.
She is faxing in my paperwork and I should be called in to Tampa General Hospital (TGH) for my orientation with the meds and my new Pari eFlow aerosol machine. I have the old version (pictured in the battery-operated configuration), which works wonders to disperse the medication in 3 minutes rather than the traditional 15-30 minutes. This new one is supposed to work even better, though I’m not sure yet if it is supposed to be faster or more effective or both. The trial is also somewhat a trial for the new machine, since it is not available for the general public yet.
I got my TOBI meds on Tuesday and I can already feel the difference using something targeting my problem, so I can’t wait for the ALZI to go to town on my gunk.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone
It’s been a cold week in the mornings in sunny Tampa. Although it warms back up almost every day, it has been hard to keep my hands warm when typing and mousing at my desk. I think I might resort to using the heat one day soon.
I’m getting some R&R in over the 4-day weekend. I am under direct orders from my boss to not touch any iThemes work until Monday, and since Gorgeous was in the room during the call, she is going to hold me to that. 🙂
Last night, after she went to bed, I worked on upgrading and tweaking a guy’s batch of 3 sites to get a little ahead to prepare for our change in insurance next year. We will be moving from an HMO to a PPO and will be ready for the out-of-pocket expenses in the beginning, so long as I keep up this pace. It’s been very rewarding and will make 2010 even easier after getting everything 100% covered after May or so.
Well, I’m supposed to be playing games because I can… you know how that goes for days off… so I’m going to do just that.
