annathepiperI was right; I'm not taking enough Synthroid. My endoc confirmed it for me this afternoon. Apparently my T4 is within normal range but low, just going by the numbers, but my pituitary thinks I'm not making enough thyroid goop, so. I'm going up from 100 mcg to 137 mcg. Hopefully it'll be enough to take care of the annoying side effects I've been dealing with the last month and a half; we'll start finding out tomorrow. The one drawback is that I'd just recently refilled my 100 mcg prescription, so now I have a bunch of tablets I can't take since I can't chop them up into any meaningful fashion to fill up a 137 mcg daily dose. Oh well.
Tonight for Halloween: handing out candy to the kiddies, and spooky movies! So far we've watched (most) of Poltergeist. For extra spookarific mileage, when I wasn't able to sleep this morning between about 4 and 7, I watched The Vampire Bat, which was sort of fun vintage spook, and the first part of the miniseries remake of The Shining, which wasn't nearly as spookarific as Kubrick's version in 1980.
We were going to try to watch The Prophecy, with Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen, but the Tivo failed us and grabbed the wrong movie! DOH! So guess we're going to watch the original Nosferatu instead.
So far we've had a fun turnout of kids of a wide range of ages, from 'almost too young to actually walk up the steps under her own power' to 'older teenagers'. Eight total groups so far, and 23 total kids. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird and spazzkat did some neat things with ghost cutouts and strategically placed lights to put spooky shadows in the windows. I particularly like the ghost in our upstairs window, the same one that you see silhouetted on the moon in The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the word "Boo" over it. Dara will have pictures, hopefully!
Monday miles: 1.9
