Coffee and Cake
Let's start with the good news that isn't about coffee and cake. (We'll get to that though.) I woke up before noon today---10:00 am! I've been having a hard time falling asleep this week. I mostly blame the weather, but there are other factors. Thing is, I don't feel...
Signs of Life
One of the ways I can tell I'm feeling better is that I am getting things done again. That includes posting a new Zentangle video that went live this morning. Also I'm already thinking about new...
From To-Do to Done-Did
Today, Super Bowl Sunday, I didn't get much of anything done. I was awake until 4:00 a.m. and spent a nice chunk of my afternoon napping. Yesterday, though, that's when I switched a few list items...
Today was OK
I hesitate to say today was OK, because what counts as OK for me requires a lot of expectation management on the part of everyone else. But you know what? That's not my problem. I don't know why I continue to feel like I need to be understood by people. It's...
Are you going to eat that?
Judging by the intensity of my cravings today, I'm running headlong into another mig--- By the way, are you going to eat that last brownie? (Some have hypothesized that cravings are part of prodrome, not a trigger for migraine headaches. And, you know, let's just go...
MRI #23 and Other Fun Stuff
I was going to write a post on New Year's Day, but, well, ouch. If the weather won't make up its mind, I'm inevitably in pain until my body adjusts. Not that my body has adjusted to any of this back-and-forth, up-and-down, precipitating-but-not chaos. I'm typing out...
Puppy It’s Cold Outside
It was lovely and such a relief that all we had to do was go upstairs to Mom's to hang out this year. No holiday traveling is the best thing. So today is very laid back, but puppy, it's cold outside. Much brr. So pajamas. We did the family Christmas thing a few days...
Ramble On
Apologies to Led Zeppelin for ganking the Ramble On thing. This is the Monday-est Friday ever. Dan and I had to overnight some documents for the sale of the Old Digs first thing this morning. That all went fine. I mean, yeah, we were the only ones masked at the UPS...
Seeing a New Oncologist
Today was for seeing a new oncologist. I waited a long-ass time to see the doctor despite arriving early. I never got the new patient forms in the mail (I suspect they went to the old address and are in USPS mail forwarding limbo now). So I had to fill out the forms...
