Breathless to feel restless like I did in the old days

[sovay]

This has been an unnecessarily medical week. Everything is stable in the sense that I now have inhalers and spatch has antibiotics and will be seeing an actual factual dentist tomorrow at last, but this was still my fourth morning in a row of getting up very early on little to no sleep and only the first time was it for something fun.

I have watched several movies about which I may or may not write anything, including Moby Dick (1956), Conduct Unbecoming (1975), Where Sinners Meet (1934), and The Damned Don't Cry (1950).

gaudior sent me a card for Halloween:



Our black cats approve.

I hoped you were watching The Damned Don't Cry!

How could I not watch something with that title?

What a lovely card!

What a lovely card!

I am glad to know the 1920's appreciated the finer things in life.

The thing about inhalers is, it's awful to have them and awful not to. (Yesterday was three puffs X three events day for me.) *sympathy coff, coff, coff*

Gaudior is clearly the best card-finder ever.

They are a wonderful cousin.

Is your inhaler supposed to be used with a spacer? (You may have to google this, doctors don't always tell you and neither do pharmacists.) If so, take my advice: A spacer is $50 at the pharmacy, and only $15 off eBay. Even paying for expedited shipping, it's worth it. (You can use a cut open soda bottle as a makeshift spacer if necessary.)

Neither of them is, although I appreciate the double-check. My mother who has serious asthma asked the same thing when I picked them up.

That's good to know that somebody else knew to tell you :)

I hope you're feeling better soon and this isn't a long-term necessity.

I hope you're feeling better soon and this isn't a long-term necessity.

Thank you. I don't expect it to be be; it's happened to me once before, that I got a sort of short-term asthma from a respiratory illness, and it cleared up after a couple weeks of regular access to steroid inhalers. I'm hanging on to the albuterol, though. That did exactly what it was supposed to and it was amazing. All of a sudden I could feel air in the bottom of my lungs.

I hope your respective inhalers and antibiotics do their jobs!

That card is wonderful. ^_^

Thank you! They seem to be so far.

That card is wonderful.

It's the important things about the holiday.

That's an adorable card! gaudior is indeed wonderful.

I hope both you and spatch will be feeling better soon, under the excellent care of Doctors Autolycus and Hestia.

That's an adorable card! gaudior is indeed wonderful.

If I could get it as a poster, I would hang it on the wall. I don't really go for the Halloween all year aesthetic, but lucky black cats are always in style.

I hope both you and spatch will be feeling better soon, under the excellent care of Doctors Autolycus and Hestia.

Thank you. There has been a strict regimen of medicinal purr, applied hourly.

Aw, that's cute!

Aw, that's cute!

I saw it when I got up at aaagh o'clock yesterday and it definitely improved my morning.

If you ever want to be incredibly amused, or horrified, or whichever, find yourself in a situation in which I am compelled to use a single puff of an albuterol inhaler. I become a twenty-year-old cat. I am told it is easy to poke me and make me tip over. Mostly, I gaze.

(I am very glad you and N have inhalers. They are nice for breathing! For most people.)

That card is brilliant. You know the best people.

Knock wood, it appears to be one of the few cases where a medication does exactly what it's supposed to for my body. Which makes me very happy, because all of a sudden I could get a breath in and it's stayed that way.

I like them!

Yay movies! Yay inhaler, but I hope the need passes off quickly.

That is a delightful Halloween card. The 1920's were peak for Halloween design. The 1950's and 1960's graphics and card products were cute, but the style and charm were not equal to the 1920's.

Thank you! On both fronts.

Do you have other favorites or recommendations?

If you go over to Etsy and search "Dennison Halloween," or search the wider web ("Bogie Book" is also a good keyword), you'll find some very pretty illustrations.

...I can't figure out how to put pictures in comments, I'm sorry.

ETA: I put a few up in my journal.
