Bonne Année, all. Wow, for having just had a holiday with absolutely no planned activities, I’m sure tired. It’s amazing how activities just expand to fill the available space. I didn’t touch a keyboard for the entire vacation* and I had a long optimistic list of stuff to get done. I think I managed two items.
This was one; my own version of the HPLHS tentacle stocking. It’s a design-on-the-needles prototype; I have a few improvements in mind for V2.
The other was finally getting my polonaise skirt done, which was two full days of Ruffle Hell. It was straightforward** but tedious. Pictures will appear when I get my dress dummy finished, which was an uncompleted item on the to-do list.
We had several lovely holiday meals, a Christmas dinner at friends’, the Hillfolk’s annual fondue treat, and a spur-of-the-moment New Year's Eve dinner at Crimson, a neighbourhood place that reminds us a bit of Calories. We decided to go out at about 6pm, and found that Crimson had reservations available for 9:15. Unhappily, they mis-estimated the time that people took lingering over dinner, and it’s a very very small place. So we had to wait outside in the cold until 10:20 before we were seated, but the heaters and free champagne took the edge off that.*** And the food was very good, and because we started so late and there were four courses, we were still eating when midnight rolled around and the restaurant (staff and customers) erupted with noisemakers and general hootin’ and hollerin’. It was rather fun, but I apologize to everyone we didn't manage to phone with New Year's greetings.
Random amusing story; I needed to stock up on allergy medicine, since our friends persist in willfully and maliciously owning cats. Chlorotriplon is not sold here (at least not as such; could someone do me a favour and tell me the real active ingredient name?) and Claritin and Alleve don’t do jack for me, so I asked the pharmacist if she knew the American equivalent.
Me: “I’m looking for an allergy medication. It’s called Chlorotriplon in Canada. Have you heard of it? It’s for a cat allergy.”
Pharmacist: “Well, it sounds like it’s X. Do you know the dosage? It comes in 4 mg, 8 mg and 16 mg.”
Me: “Um, no. I just bought it over the counter.”
Pharmacist: “Oh. You’re sure you can’t remember the dosage? Is there anyone you can phone?”
Me: “Uh… I guess I can find out. But it’s over the counter medicine, right?”
Pharmacist: “Well, yes, but I really don’t want to sell it to you if you don’t know the correct dosage.”
Me: (really confused, but thinking maybe there’s a problem with it being used in meth manufacturing or something) “Can't I just get the lowest dosage and see if that works?”
Pharmacist: “I’m really not comfortable with that.”
Me: (going for the sympathy angle) “But I’d really like to take it tonight; I’m going over to a friends’ place and they have cats and I’ll be all sneezy and miserable otherwise…”
Pharmacist: “Oh, it’s for you! I thought you said it was for your cat!”
Me: “Uh. No. For me. I’m the one that’s allergic to cats. Can cats be allergic to cats?”
Pharmacist: “It’s been a long day.”
* I did touch a game controller. R:tAG got me Beautiful Katamari, so of course I had to finish up Katamari Damacy first, and I got R:tAG Godzilla Unleashed, so we had to choose monsters and beat each other up in the ruins of San Francisco. Much fun.
** Except for the Moebius Ruffle Incident, but we will not speak of that. I had bought a ruffling foot and a rolled hem foot for my sewing machine just for this project, and they both ended up being useless. Stupid useless sewing machine feet.
*** Free champagne to drink while we were waiting, then a free bottle when we left as well as extra dessert and appetizers served with profuse apologies. It’s a good place. The chef himself kept popping out to bring more champagne and reassure us that the food was worth waiting for.
Happy sneezy New Year to you too!
The active ingredient is Chlorphenamine or chlorpheniramine. The Chlorotriplon trade name doesn't seem all that common - Goggle coughs up this very post in the #3 spot!! Wikipedia has an article on Chlorphenamine, with a laundry list of unpronounceable ®egistered brand names. Good luck!
BTW does the cat allergy extend to other fuzzy creatures? Do we have to exile the guinea pigs to the balcony when you visit?
I like Crimson, too. Nice people and good food.
I had to give my cat people medicine once, when he got valley fever. The cat dose was a quarter of an already-tiny pill. Not too fun.
Sounds like a nice quiet New Years like the rest of us this year.
Retiring the annual New Years party isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Bob the Cat was allergic to cats.
Don't you need, like, seventeen more of those tentacle stockings? Or are you making one a year until you have enough?

רציתי לחלק איתכם בחוויה אותו עברתי אחרי הפיגוע בדולפינריום. במשך שנה אחרי הטראומה, הרגשתי רע מאוד, חסרת שמחת חיים, עייפה ומדוכדכת. עם טיפולים רפואיים רגילים לא הצלחתי לעזו לעצמי ולכן פניתי ל- [b][url=http://www.maker.co.il/3_15707/%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A8/%D7%9B%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%91%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%A2%D7%9C-%D7%A0%D7%A4%D7%A9-%D7%94%D7%90%D7%93%D7%9D-%D7%95%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%99-%D7%A8%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%90%D7%99-(%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%90%D7%92%60).html]עיסוי[/url][/b] רפואי אלטרנטיבי. ייעצו לי על מעסה מקצועי מ-Spa-Vip.co.il - עיסוי עד הבית, אשר כולל עיסוי שוודי מצויין אשר גרם להתעוררות חושים תוך טיפול אחד בלבד. כזה שינוי בחיים לא חוויתי, אפילו אחרי טיפול מסאג שוודי ראשון, השתפר לי המצב הרוח, פיזרתי את השיער ויצאתי מה- [b][url=http://www.academics.co.il/Articles/Article12945.aspx]מסאג[/url][/b]' עם כוחות חדשים, מחויכת ומוכנה להמשיך הלאה.
עיסוי האיורוודה הוא עיסוי אשר כולל מוזיקה נעימה, נרות ומוזיקה נעימה. ההתחלה של עיסוי היא מגע מפנק על המגבת לאחר חשיפה של הגוף מכף רגל ועד ראש. מריחת שמן חם מכף רגל ועד הראש, לאחר מכן תנועה מלטפת ועדינה מכף רגל ועד ראש ובחזרה. אחרי כמה תנועות עדינות עוברים לצד השני של הגוף, אחרי התנועות על צידו השני ישנו שילוב של לחיצות רפואיות מכיוון שהגוף התרגל למגע מפנק ומרגיע וזה גרם לשרירים להרפות מעט... כל זה בטיפול ספא מפנק של עיסוי עד בית הלקוח.
אני לא האמנתי שדברים כאלו יכולים לקרות עד אשר התענגתי עם מסאג שוודי ברמה כזאת, המעסה המקצועי אליי הביתה עם מגע שלא הכרתי שלא תיארתי שיכול להיות. ממליצה לכל אחד ואחת אשר מעוניינים ב [b][url=http://israblog.nana10.co.il/blogread.asp?blog=682132]מסאז[/url][/b]', עיסוי או סתם חוויה בלתי נשכחת בחג על Spa-VIP.co.il.

The internet has altered our world drastically over the retiring twenty years . Not merely has the internet unfolded the world by letting inst communication, but it has opened up the world by levelling the playing field for commerce. A somebody no more has to have a fund social movement or a commercial agency to participate in the world of commerce. The net has allowed for many peoples to construct an net home based business.
Constructing an cyberspace home based business has become a popular agency to run a home based business. The advantages of melting down a business online include having a big market place, many peoples that impose that market and a very lower overhead toll.
Another vantage of unravelling an net home based business is the semblance of having a big business. The net can create is a false signified of reality. One individual can flow what seems like a large business, but is actually an net home based business.
