Christmas Cards Are Ordered; Poly May Be Back

This year's Christmas cards are ordered; they'll likely be hitting the mail within ten days or so.

I tried several sites before settling upon Apple's iPhoto tools. DotPhoto had nice postcards, but the site's preview feature failed to work within four different browsers on two different operating systems. Snapfish's post cards included a border that chopped Hannah's head off, and I didn't feel like creating accounts on other sites just to see what offerings were available.

Apple, by far, had the most elegant cards. While its prices were higher, I've learned the value of opportunity costs and bit the bullet.

Meanwhile, I can't believe the fall's almost over. The season has really flown by, at least in my experience. Between work, home improvements, volunteer activities, and a broken arm (Andrew) here and bad viruses (Hannah and Erik) there, the past eight to ten weeks have sped by.

Worse, the polymyositis may be returning. The familiar neck and shoulder pain is back, and my hands and fingers are proving stiff the last few mornings. I've been on 15mg of methotrexate a week. I was hoping that would curb this crap, but it's not looking to be the case. Another round of prednisone may be in order; but I'm hoping to avoid that. We'll see. Either way I'm trying not to let it ruin the Christmas season.
