Archive note: This post was written in 2009 and reflects the language, medical advice, treatment options, and personal circumstances of that time. HIV care and understanding have changed considerably since then. The post has been preserved as part of the historical HIVBlogger archive and as an honest record of my experience at the time.

Been in the house until now, and just about to head out and meet up with some friends again. Have got on with some work from home but still finding it difficult to concentrate.

Food
Following yesterday’s post, I have received a couple of recipes from a friend. The first one is going to be on trial tomorrow lunchtime, and I am heading out today to buy the ingredients for it and the second.

So on the shopping list today: pasta, olive oil, garlic, one courgette, tomato purée, small onion, dried chillies, and a tin of tomatoes. Updates later in the week as to how I get on.

Jelly Bean Test
Continued testing with the Jelly Beans proves successful. Though rather too successful. Supplies of jelly beans have run out. Fortunately, I don’t think it is possible to overdose on jelly beans.

Drugs
Another day for the three times a week Septrin® tablets.
And starting the once a week, five-at-a-time Zithromax™ tablets.

The annoying thing with the Zithromax™ is that it comes in packs of four. And I have to take five!

Think I’m going to also go to a pharmacist’s and see if I can find a nice pill box to keep all these various tablets in.
