Nong, don't make me argue with you when you're trying to get better. 

Phi, don't make me quote Mew.

God even alluding to it is triggering to me.  The more I think about Mew in that last episode the more I hate his character.  But it's so hard to stay mad cause Book is just too damn cute.

In Mew's defense, he has told Ray repeatedly before that he doesn't love him in that way, so that infamous line from last episode shouldn't really be so infamous.

I feel the same way about Top... he's a walking red flag, which makes me hate him, but I end up forgiving him because Force is just too hot to stay mad for long.

Thank you. I have mostly recovered from the effects of the infusion and feel better. The most persistent issue is my bp remains very high. I saw my nephrologist for my routine annual visit yesterday and he added a diuretic to my medications. Keeping my fingers crossed as the last time I took I diuretic after 3 days I ended up in the er with bp that put me in danger of a stroke. I am monitoring my bp closely. 

By your description Dugh, you and I have some health issues in common.  I see my nephrologist and heart specialist every three months.  They insist on scheduling the same day so they can test for the effects of the medications I am taking and then consult if needed.  It takes a half day each time.  I also need to take a diuretic, and it caused me to have painful muscle cramps at first.  I don't take it every day, just when needed.  My local pharmacist advised eating a banana a day when taking the medicine to replenish salts and minerals that are flushed out of the body with the water.  No more cramps!  

I am glad that the infusions are over, you had us worried for a while.  I do hope the good they were supposed to do for you still remains.

Can you spot the Girl?

Hi Albert!   I don't know why, but my eyes focused on her before I read the question. Top right corner under the flamingo's beak, right?

Hey Spike!  WAKE UP!  Drewdo is back to normal and you don't need to feel guilty.  He'll only take advantage of that to try another attack on your herd.

You did great with the precision though @Drew Espinosa is either green from sickness or green with envy

Hi Clo! Now Froggy's back I don't want you two sneaking off together all the time.  You have Big Sister duties to keep the brat under control.

Hi Man!  Where you live is a perfect climate for growing orchids indoors.  Contrary to common belief, orchids are not too difficult to grow.  I use to have many when I lived in Portland which has a climate similar to yours.  Hope you're doing well, my friend!

It should be a nice warm day here (33C) but there is an awful amount of smoke outside. 5 burn offs happening near me and it all merged into one big smoke blanket 

Hopefully the winds tonight should clear it all away

Hey Bucket! Chiang Mai has the same kind of smoke problems in March and April.  Unfortunately, winds compound the problem instead of clearing the smoke out.

I'm better, but I'm not fully recovered! So stop picking on me! 😭

That goes for you to, @spike382!

Hmm is it true or are you pretending so we don't tease you... 🤔

Yeah but I'll have to delegate cause my Sexy Froggy isn't around often so we've got to make the most of it

Sawasdee Khrup Terry. My bp had been controlled up until the latest infusion. Most of the issues have normalized since the end of the infusions excepting my bp. I have a history of not tolerating bp medications well. Most stem from issues with my migraines. I'm glad bananas worked for you. They are not recommended for migraine suffers so I rarely eat them. I have an order for bloodwork in two weeks to check potassium and sodium levels. We want to be sure that we protect my kidneys. I'm lucky in my kidney disease has remained stable.

The doctor literally prescribed me antibiotics to take twice a day for ten days. So, y'all can't tease me until the 13th.

There's one on CoTT2 however.  (I caught on to your sneaky, diversionary tactics long ago youngster! Misspelling words and acronyms is a sneaky diversion.)

Oh sorry, @Drew Espinosa’s whining puts me to sleep now.   Don’t worry though Phi, I’m always on my guard for his usual antics.  He is sneaky.

Classic!  I even heard it in Pharm/Team/Chonlatee’s voice simultaneously.

Hey, all!    Heavy rain last night... expect more today. Have a good one.
