I seem to have a working computer again. I definitely have an extremely urgent deadline to contend with. Don’t expect much in the way of posts the rest of this week. Justiniano is waiting for something to draw, and providing that material takes precedence over just about anything else. Since this will also contribute mightily […]
So. Down to a manageable 20 mg of prednisone a day and pretty much back to square one. Everything old is new again. Or just fat again. Whichever — once more unto the breach, dear friends, to oppose the Cosmic Thwart. Starting weight: 215 Previous weight: 219 Current weight: 213
