Wow, I had written you a pretty long response when my cat freaked out about who the hell knows what flew out of the window, hitting the button on my surge protector on the way. Yup. My computer along w/ what I'd written you were gone in one sudden cat frenzy.

Short version. Pills didn't work. I went to the hematologist today and had my first iron infusion. I'll get another next week. It took about 3 hours. I slept through most of it. (kinda embarrassing, tbh). It's also an oncology clinic, and patients older than me w/ cancer stayed awake while I nodded off. In my previous attempt at writing to you, I talked about an old hobby of mine (Polymer Clay) and how my mother and I made bottles for oncology patients. Guilds all over the country were doing it. Ours didn't look even remotely as nice as theirs, but we tried.

Do people really expect you to click through hundreds of passes? Who's got the time? What does it matter if they get lots of low-level fixers unless someone is gifting them? People can be weirdly touchy. Then again, I've been told I'm weirdly touchy when it comes to someone charging my trophies. It doesn't seem equitable for someone to charge my trophies and expect me to charge their locations, right? It's not like I'm the only person to put in my nick for people to not charge my trophies. (not that it's ever worked) Speaking of putting things in one's nick, what does it mean or what is expected when someone puts in their nick that they're running a 3-day talisman?

I'm not sure how many things I get from you each day. I try to check regularly, but right now it's a real pain in the ass to do it. As you might guess from my tag, my Kindle is a mess. It randomly shuts down/starts up, sometimes it just shuts down w/out bothering to start back up. And since I've got my med schedule w/ alarm in my Kindle, that whole not starting back up thing is especially irksome. I've had it for less than a year, and the battery dies in about 4 hours. I'm gonna finish out this event and install the upgrade to get whatever rubies, etc., then send it in before the warranty runs out. I hope I haven't voided it by installing Android on it. W/out it, there's nothing you can do with it. The Kindle store has nothing. It's my first tablet. Had I known it what a POS it was, I'd have saved my money for a REAL tablet. Unfortunately, I've got too many expenses headed my way to get a better tablet, so the Kindle and all of its quirks and I are stuck together. :/

Can you blame a tv show for wanting to say frell and dren more often than drad? Think of BSG and frak. If you can get away w/ it, go for it! :D And yeah, totally understand the urge to binge-watch shows. There are some shows that are just so good ya gotta watch 'em again and again. I'm that way about SG-Atlantis. I love that show. Not a real fan of SGU, and I think SG-1 dragged on 2 seasons longer than it should have (the 2 seasons when the actors that played Chrichton and Aeryn joined the crew). And I'll stop there, otherwise this wil be an incredibly long reply (longer than it already is, I mean). lol

4AM? Ha! I got you beat. It's almost 6, and I've got an appointment in the morning. omg, why am I bragging about that? rofl

take care,

Catherine
