Redbox Bowl us starting. AG's alma mater is playing.
Oh and I've done literally nothing at work. No one else is really on, and this is the only day I'm on in the middle of two weeks off.

Through much of the summer/fall I took Xeljanz. It helped some, but ultimately the witch doctor decided it wasn't doing enough. I think when the disease is quite active, it speeds up my metabolism (e.g., heart rate) which can lead to weight loss (I got down to 130 last winter).
I theorize that the drugs returning my system more to normal, combined with lower than normal activity (I was walking for exercise
) accounts for the 20 pound weight gain.
Just before Thanksgiving I started Remicade. So far that has helped more than the Xeljanz did. Unfortunately, it's an IV drug, so I have to go to the "infusion center" where it slowly drips in over 2+ hours. A nurse checks my blood pressure every now and then to make sure I'm not about to die.

Hmmmm, I hope that this doesn't get interesting. I'm feeling a little chest congestion this morning. It would really suck to go a week and a half without getting sick, only to get hit with it just before three marathon days of driving (my wife really doesn't like to drive on the interstates).
Then again, my RHR isn't weaving any red flags, and has gone back down, close to normal, after riding high from all of the training stress.
Just in case, do the doctors and homeopaths have any proactive advice that might help?

I allowed myself a few minutes to check out cycling options in Cape Town, SA for our trip in September... good god, that place looks like paradise. You can rent some pretty nifty bikes for under $40/day with delivery and pick up at your hotel/airbnb, and look at those roads... Going to be tough to remember that it's not a trip just for me but for wifey too, and she ain't a cyclist. She does like to sleep in, though...

The good doctor is so far falling down on the job. So . . . .
Because after all this is not just the end of a month, or the end of a year, it's the end of a decade.

But I don't like the idea of misery running its course.
