The good, the bad, and the ugly

the good

We got our new oven yesterday. It's a Maytag, and although it's listed as a 24", the front panel is actually more like 26". It's also a little taller, so I'm going to have to do some surgery on the doors of the over-the-oven cabinet. Time to haul out the tablesaw, and it looks like an excuse to get a couple more pipe clamps. Whee!

the bad

I went in for lab work this morning (in preparation for a physical a week from next Wednesday); this required a 12-hour fast. Hence, no coffee this morning. I have since treated myself to a double café mocha and an egg-bacon-cheese sandwitch, but I still have a ferocious headache. And I haven't had what flower_cat calls my "pill salad" yet.

the ugly

After bleeding for the lab, I went over to the pharmacy to renew my prescription for Beconase, which is what I take for post-nasal drip. Not only is it no longer available, but there are apparently no powder-plus-propellant nasal inhalers available anymore. None. This is going to be bad -- the last time I tried one of the water-based ones I had the choice of losing it all out my nostrils, or tilting my head back and having it go down the back of my throat, and being lucky to stop coughing before I throw up.
