Well, I didn't go to work. I looked at my face in the mirror and decided that I was not up to par, and gave myself a break. I told you about the Celebrex, and the MSM, and I have been doing much better, didn't know which it was. Ran out of Celebrex Monday night, but thought, no prob. I'll send a fax to Dr., he will call in a prescription, and I'll get a refill Tuesday. Went to the pharmacist Tuesday night, no Celebrex. Wednesday, called the Dr., they don't call pharmacies, and they didn't call me to let me know. Also, the doctor did not agree to my request that he prescribe 100 so I could get the price break, nor my request that he prescribe some 100 mg. and some 200 mg. to save money (the 200 mg. don't cost that much more than the 100 mg.) Prick. It's not like I am asking for narcotics, for God's sake, this is just expensive NSAIDs with fewer side-effects. When I told him before that I was taking 800 mg. ibuprofen every four hours, he didn't tell me to stop, he just said it was too much. Now that I want to take the recommended dose of Celebrex, he wants to limit my access. Argh. I am going to stop here, and then post another message about your rhodies. Anyway, I finally started to feel pain-free this morning, that was the point. So, maybe I do deserve a break, even though I don't do much except sit around. Maybe I'll take the kids to see "My Favorite Martian."

OK, done with venting. Now, about your flowers. I don't know much about the climate, does it snow a lot? I thought rhodies needed warmish temperatures. I know they don't need as warm a climate as azaleas. When I finally get my new house, I want to plant flowers. It is really stupid, but we have lived in this rental house for ten years, and I never plant anything because I keep saying we are going to move. This time I really mean it! (At least it's cheap, the landlady doesn't raise the rent). I love old fashioned roses, and other sweet-smelling flowers. Jasmine, sweet olive, honeysuckle, gardenia, sweet William. I love flowers that bloom at night, again the jasmine and gardenia, and moonflowers and night-blooming cereus. I love azaleas and camellias and magnolias, they are the flowers I grew up with in Louisiana. In our yard we have dogwoods, azaleas, forsythia, and lilac. But no rhododendrons. I have a sweet olive imported from Louisiana sitting on my windowsill, waiting for its new home. A friend of mine loves rhododendrons, and I used to give him plants on his birthday to plant in his garden, but they never survived. I just bought what was at the nursery, I assumed that it would be something that would grow in this climate. "Same old shit." I guess. I very much like the idea of timing the blooms ("firing sequence"), but I don't think I would do anything more than just plant things that bloomed at different times.
