It is three weeks for dreamwidth, so I am going to turn off crossposting after this. Which means that those of you who read me on LJ will notice no difference. Ha ha. You can still read me here and almost all my posts are public, but I am going to filter one thing because it's about my kid. If you want to read that, and you don't want a DW account, you can subscribe to me with an OpenID and I'll give you access.

There is a thing going on with my liver, which is almost certainly just NAFLD, or fatty liver disease, but I keep having tests that look a little anomalous and indicate more tests. Elevated liver enzymes. Abnormal liver texture. But no hepatitis, no cirrhosis, no signs of autoimmune disease. The latest thing was a 24-hour urine collection, because the liver biopsy made a suggestion of amyloidosis. That was a couple weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything about results, but my gastroenterologist said probably wouldn't make any difference in treatment anyway. So, treatment? Try really hard to lose some weight.

Librarything just got niftier. Now it tells me that my books take up almost 600 shelf-feet and weigh as much as 0.649 elephant.

Anyway, spring is springing and I have all kinds of energy and since I cannot carry any more 5-gallon buckets of soggy compost I am contemplating looking at some of the email I should have responded to a long time ago. Contemplating. Seriously contemplating.

Nope. Too scary. And I still have almost a truckful of soggy compost which isn't going to carry itself, you know.

I hope the liver thing gets worked out. That's worrisome. Also worrisome that the only advice they have is "lose weight." It's not as if you have that much to lose.

I'm going to be out your way next week. Drop a note if you'd like to visit.

Cancel that last bit. The two-day conference has been postponed.
