gwydion* Ukraine is starting a major military operation against what Putin is insisting aren't invading Russian troops.

I could tell within an hour of taking the first dose of the monster antibiotic that food was going to be a problem. It's already bad, bad, bad through the serious anti-nausea drugs I already take. Realistically, I should stop taking my arthritis drug and just live with being only slightly more mobile than a tree. The reasons I don't want to do this should be obvious, but if it's this bad on day 3? Yeah. My throat has been sore since the sinus thing started late last June. About two months ago I reached the point where mostly all I want to eat is popsicle. Even someone with my high pain threshold and hyper-focus runs out of endurance eventually. Being me, I don't much want artificially flavoured water. Lucking Costco has those cardamom pops from India and a selection of real fruit based ones I can enjoy. I've been making myself eat reasonable foods and rationing popsicles. Now all I want it salad, take out asian food, and popsicles.
The car repairs and delay in financing is already jeopardizing the surgery road trip to San Francisco in May, so no salad, no take out Thai or Chinese. (Yes, I know some of you are waiting for me to finalize plans. I am not sure I can get the printer working by myself and figuring it out requires bending over, which is precarious right now with the nausea and pain levels involved. Sorry folks. I'll try to sort it out Wednesday).
I know, I know, it's whining. I should force myself to eat soup and be grateful. The infection has been exhausting. Knowing it really could have killed me makes me feel less of a scrotum for not somehow overcoming the associated exhaustion level, particularly before the nebulizer, but my old ex-athlete instincts kick in and keep trying to get me to push through things my body is too damaged to handle. I keep telling myself I just need to stick this out. Already breathing is less exhausting. I haven't woken up suffocating and flopping around like a beached fish in nearly a week. It's just the antibiotic is so poisonous, it's hard to cope with.
Still, I lust after fresh green salads, but the garden can only handle greens for sandwiches, not a full salad. Still, I lust after veggie stir fry, rich with savory seasoning in the windows when the nausea is bearable.
* I am so bummed out that The Only Lovers Left Alive isn't playing here. I'm going to keep checking the art cinema notices in hopes.
* Why did I write so little so little about the Purple Wedding? Because we are getting into the stuff that is physically unpleasant for me to watch because it pushes a whole bunch of my buttons. Seriously, I’m still dragging myself through the end of Storm of Swords because it’s hard for me in a host of personal reasons. It was to the point I spent the last month or so debating if I want to continue with show and books. I’ve decided to soldier through, but I may need to take breaks like I do with the book.

* This Fangs for the fantasy Podcast does a good job of unpacking all sorts of things. I especially appreciate them talking about Tyrion/Peter Dinklege and ableism. (In show and out).: http://www.fangsforthefantasy.com/2014/04/fangs-for-fantasy-podcast-2014-episode_14.html
* I have decided that the theme I'm currently exploring with Malcolm on Game of Bones is best summed up as "Adventures in Code-switching."
* I wish someone would write a book about werewolves based on how RL wolves behave in the wild instead of based on a very outdated study of zoo wolves from the 12950's. Just saying.
* I've got circular swaps with openings.
