A different direction

[nightdog_barks]

SO. After a truly awful weekend, I called my doctor yesterday morning and begged asked for another antibiotic -- something, anything. So now I'm taking doxycycline, and NOT feeling like my meds are actively trying to kill me. Win/win!

Anyway, I'm now reading Mary Robinette Kowal's The Calculating Stars, which is an entertaining romp through an alternate history of space exploration and colonization, with crewed flight beginning in the 1950s.

Oh yikes! Sorry to hear about the side effects. I hope doxy treats you more kindly while it kicks bacterial ass.

Omg, Topaz, it is like NIGHT AND DAY. I can't believe there's such a difference! The levofloxacin was like wrestling a bear -- and the bear was winning. Comparatively, the doxy is like a purring kitten. What the hell.

Glad your meds got fixed! I really liked the Lady Astronaut books.

I'm glad too! :D

And omg The Calculating Stars is such a PAGE-TURNER. I also read John Scalzi's The Collapsing Empire a couple of weeks or so ago and it was the same way. Fast-paced, interesting characters.

Make sure you use a backup form of birth control. All these different antibiotics could make the pill not work, and the last thing we need is for you to get in the family way.

...What?
