Back Home.

I'm home again now. I spent the day downtown with kalkuly, drinking coffee, chatting and flirting happily. It certainly cheered me up, and she says it did the same for her, so: Yay sociability.

Then I headed home and met up with taxlady who had just finished a long day of errands and shopping and wanted to go out to Calories for Coffee and Cheesecake.

So, we did. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.

When we got home, we watched Holmes on Homes, and then I went to catch up on my LJ reading, which took until just now to do.

I think that makes it bed time.

Night all!

Morning Blahs.

I'm awake, and I have the usual morning blahs. One good thing is that this morning's news contained an interesting article about chickadees, a rather cute bird.

Nizoral.

Here's an unpaid product plug: Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo.

About 6 months ago, I came down with a bad case of dandruff for the first time in my life. I tried a wide variety of treatments and anti-dandruff products, and the best that any of them managed was to make things worse.

Then I discovered that a new chemical anti-fungal agent called Ketoconazole had been developed and was far more effective against scalp fungus than existing agents. As far as I know, it is only available in the Nizoral brand of dandruff shampoos.

I bought myself a bottle of the stuff and started using it. You only use it twice a week, but I noticed an effect after the very first use. By the second dose, all visible flaking was gone. The scalp irritation and itch has been steadily decreasing and now, after 4 weeks, the dandruff is pretty much gone. I'll probably use the stuff for another 4-6 weeks, and then see what happens if I stop.

So, I highly recommend the stuff but: buy the small bottle! I bought a larger bottle of this stuff, and it looks like I won't even be 1/3 of the way through it by the time I'm cured.

BBQ

It looks like I'll be visiting T, an old high-school friend for the St. Jean Baptiste day celebrations. We're not doing much, just having a barbeque over at his house, but at least it will prevent me from sitting here staring at the walls all day.
