International Cat Day 2022
Today, August 8, is International Cat Day! In celebration of our feline friends, we’re sharing this lovely wood engraving of a Siamese cat by English wood engraver Chris Daunt. The wood engraving was made for a new book by David Blamires titled When in Doubt, Wash! and printed on the publication announcement for the book from Incline Press.
The back of the publication announcement features a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) titled “On the Death of a Cat: A Friend of Mine Aged Ten Years and a Half” and an image printed in yellow of a cat wearing a bow chasing a ball of yarn. The poem is credited as having been “Printed by Thomas Mouser at his Catnip Press”—cute!
Also included here are my two cats, Smudge and Beez. They bring so much joy to my life (not to mention fluff and cuteness) and I hope you have cats (or other pets!) in your life who do the same!
Now go pet a cat!

It wouldn’t make sense for tz’s teams to publish articles like that near her release date It is surely amy given sm4 announcement is also around the corner
someone else in my inbox said why does it even matter, it’s really not that deep, but I’m just curious now: why wouldn’t it make sense for tz’s teams? genuinely why would soft launching a big mile stone in their relationship not make sense?
(some of you need to get your 1.0 bias glasses off I fear)

in what little free time she has at camp, arlis will occasionally press flowers into a leather bound book she finds early on in act i. it's soothing for her and a way for her to calm herself down she's stressed or anxious (as is especially the case in the first half of act i). with time, and as she knows to get the rest of the party better, she includes flowers that remind her of each companion. after the main game's events, she gives them to each person as a parting gift.

Summer Solstice 2022
Today marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the first day of Summer! While some in our office consider this a sad day as it means the days will only get shorter from here on out, we’re choosing to think positively and celebrate the vibrant blooms of summer that can be found all around us. Here we have The Rose-Bud, the Rose and the Thorn by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796).
Published in 1994 by the Incline Press in an edition of 250, the book features rose printers’ ornaments, an engraving of a linnet resting in a briar by Ann Tout, and hand marbled cover paper by Ann Muir in “the colours of the budding rose.” Our copy is signed by Graham Moss, the proprietor of the Incline Press, and was a gift of our friend, Jerry Buff.
The poems by Robert Burns all feature the rose as a key image. My favorite is “My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose":
My luve is like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June;
My Luve is like a melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my Dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands ‘o’ life shall run.
And fare-thee-well, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ ‘twere ten thousand mile!
I especially like the part about rocks melting in the sun. That’s pretty metal for an 18th century love poem!
Have a lovely solstice and try not to think too hard about the days getting shorter!

Nakon 11 nedelja
Nakon jedanaest nedelja terapije, otišao sam na kontrolu. Za potrebe kontrole, vadio sam krv zbog FT4, TSH i TRAb vrednosti.
Pre početka terapije, FT4 je bio 45.5. Nakon 5 nedelja terapije, FT4 je 30.6. Nakon 11 nedelja terapije, FT4 je 18.2. Eutiroidizam je uspostavljen. Endokrinolog je zadovoljan. Navodi da upornije nizak TSH i viši TRAb govore da sam malo rezistentniji pacijent na lečenje i podiže doze Tiamazola. Ideja je da, do sledeće kontrole, TSH bude na zadovoljavajućem nivou.
Nastavljam sa terapijom, doze lekova:
Tiamazol:
Do kontrole (23.11.2023): 1x30mg dnevno, subotom i nedeljom 1x20mg dnevno
Propranolol:
Do kontrole (23.22.2023): 2x20mg dnevno
Osećam se drastično bolje. Danas sam uradio kosi benč 115kg x 6 i to je najbolji rezultat koji sam postigao od početka terapije. Praktično, to je nivo snage koji sam imao pre dijagnostikovanja Grejvsove bolesti. Apetit mi je odličan, san takođe (kada pratim telo i legnem "ranije" na spavanje), koncentracija bolja (počinjem da vraćam fokus za rad, čitanje i razmišljanje).
