Why is the eczema worse after meals?

[infryq]

Yesterday I cooked a batch of red rice, went to the dentist for a cleaning
(new folks for me; my previous crew are no longer working at this office),
and scheduled a filling for mid-February. The new hygienist is slower but
less stabby and makes better use of the water and suction tools, so I’ll
absolutely take it. New dentist was mortified by a high filling that’s been
bugging me for six months (I’d already had it fixed once and figured that
was as good as it was gonna get) and will fix that along with the new one
in Feb.

At work I found a dead end to the tack I was exploring with SJ, then
discovered a different route that worked for me... but not on her machine.
We narrowed it down to an issue with how macosx handles remote X sessions,
alas, so she’s going to pursue a different visualization library entirely.
Spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up the parser derivations and
writing a two-week update for T.

It was P’s first day teaching for the new semester, with lecture being
predictably stressful and lab predictably fun. He’s settled in to the first
couple of weeks being a mess before the “oh yeah, I actually know what I’m
doing” kicks in.

I spent the evening knitting and watching Lucifer.
