I took off my rings June first. No, not my wedding ring. But the other two rings that I tend to wear constantly. One on the forefinger of my left hand, the other on the thumb of my right hand. They aren’t costume jewelry—they’re both handmade by artists and they have some meaning to me. […]

I’ve been pretty successful getting more veggies into my diet. This includes eating more salads, having more veggies with dinners, etc. However, I can’t eat salad every day, not like I used to. Am still too close to being burned out on salad. Instead, I’ve been making an egg casserole thingy that’s pretty tasty and

Received my second booster late Sunday afternoon. I’d been Team Moderna, and switched it up for this last round with Pfizer. Didn’t have much reaction on Sunday, or for most of Monday. Mainly my right arm was sore and my lymph nodes were starting to react. Monday evening I realized that my arm was *really*

On Monday, I reached my 1000 day mark of speaking Hungarian every day on Duolingo. YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! I wrote about speaking Hungarian every day for a year a while ago. (https://medium.com/@leah_97352/i-spoke-a-foreign-language-every-day-for-a-year-1055232b3ca3) I don’t really have much to add to that.

I had knee replacement surgery about six months ago. I figured now would be a good time to report in about what I’m experiencing. One of the things I wanted to emphasize, is that every person’s body is different. My brother, who is 10 years older than I am, had a full knee replacement one

Last week was a pretty shitty week. This is not an accountability blog. Trying to hold myself accountable during such a bad week makes me feel as though I’m punishing myself. Instead, let’s just say I did the best I could in regards to writing, walking, my hands, and email. Particularly since my period showed
