And I didn't get diabetes or a stroke or osteoporosis or glaucoma or all that fun stuff. So now my problem is getting off prednisone after being on high to medium dosages for over a year. It's almost as bad as being sick was; because the...tag:https:,2015-05-27://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7243Tool work progress2015-05-27T22:00:06Z2015-05-27T22:00:06ZI've made real progress with TS4 speculars. I'm sure they're not ending up quite as intended by EA, and the effect isn't perfect, but I can add metallic shine and hopefully more subtle effects. It'll all be in the new version of CAS Tools, which is getting into the final updates/enhancements and...tag:https:,2014-12-11://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7128Status report2014-12-11T12:23:11Z2014-12-11T12:23:11ZLast Wednesday I was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis, aka Temporal Arteritis. This is an autoimmune disease causing inflammation of the arteries, mostly in the head but also often the aorta and sometimes the coronary artery. I'm now on medication that has relieved my symptoms but has a nasty...tag:https:,2014-11-20://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7105Inactivity woes2014-11-20T18:44:56Z2014-11-20T18:44:56ZI've been in another phase of inactivity because I've been sick for weeks - constant headaches, near-constant fever, fatigue, general ickyness. My doctor has no clue and is on the second round of tests. It's very discouraging.tag:https:,2013-11-24://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6807It's a conspiracy!2013-11-24T22:48:23Z2013-11-24T22:48:23ZIt's always something! Now one of my eyes has a big freaking floater almost in the center of my field of vision, plus occasional flying dark spots and flashes. It's distracting and makes working at the computer more tiring than usual. I've had it checked out and it'll probably improve in a few...tag:https:,2013-11-09://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6799Kitten update, modding update2013-11-09T19:20:58Z2013-11-09T19:20:58ZThe kitty situation is all resolved: I ended up keeping the mom and two kittens, my BFF took two kittens, a friend of her family took one, and I had to give the last two to North Shore Animal League. It felt like handing over my own babies for adoption, but I just couldn't keep them. North Shore is...tag:https:,2013-06-29://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6689Finding homes for kittens isn't easy!2013-06-29T13:48:49Z2013-06-29T13:48:49ZI've started a blog for the litter of kittens I rescued, who urgently need homes in the New York area. I could transport them a reasonable distance. If any of you Sims fans want a kitten, please post a reply! If you know anyone who might want one, please pass this along.

I've been in a slump, and now am stressing out because my mother is having surgery and I'm going to be spending a lot of time caring for her afterwards. Plus it looks like I'm going to be rescuing a pregnant cat and have the...tag:https:,2013-01-20://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6494RL doesn't take a holiday2013-01-20T11:48:23Z2013-01-20T11:48:23ZI've been kind of inactive recently because one of my cats was seriously ill and needed a lot of care. He had cancer and treatment seemed unlikely to restore any meaningful quality of life. Yesterday I made the painful choice to let him go peacefully and painlessly. Rest in Peace, sweet Salem.tag:https:,2012-12-23://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6468Happy Holidays!2012-12-23T02:12:59Z2012-12-23T02:12:59ZWhatever holidays you celebrate, or if you don't celebrate any, have a good one! Tomorrow I'm off to visit parents and brother, and have been on a binge of cleaning, preparations, cards, pre-travel nerves, etc.

Sandy hit hard here and while I'm not personally affected beyond my lights flickering a few times, the devastation to my city and the whole area is stunning and horrifying - half the tri-state area with no power, the Lincoln Tunnel the...tag:https:,2012-10-18://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6396Sidetracked by Skininator2012-10-18T18:45:08Z2012-10-18T18:45:08ZAs usual, I've gotten sidetracked - this time into making the new version of Skininator I've wanted to do for months. On the plus side, C#, Windows Forms, and the s3pi package library are easier and faster to work with than my old platform of Silverfrost Fortran with Windows UI extensions.

Got back from a few days at my mom's yesterday. For whatever reason I couldn't sleep well there - snoozed about 10 hours last night...
