I’ve now had the YAG laser procedure done in both eyes.
OMG, I can see again! This morning, I was able to decrease the zoom on my Word document and could still make out the text. Almost all the glare is gone out of the second eye—it took a few days for the first eye, so I figure by the end of the week, the glare will be completely gone.…
Last week I reached the one-year anniversary since my last menstruation period.
This means I am officially out of perimenopause and into actual menopause.
YAY!
I went into perimenopause when I was thirty-nine. Twenty-three years ago.
Ouch.
My doctor at the time told me that it was impossible for me to be in perimenopause because I was too young.…
One year ago, I had cataract surgery. I had gone from being diagnosed with cataracts to being unable to see a screen thirty percent of the time over the course of nine months.

I had amazing food while we were in Mexico. I did not try to follow my carnivore diet while I was there. I wanted to experience all the things.

Every year, generally for the first essay of the year, I do a piece about my hydroponics system. I purposefully delayed the essay this year because it’s going to be a bit different.
This is probably the last time I’m doing an essay about all the hydroponic plants because they’re all going away.…
According to my records, I read 48 books last year. For the last couple of years, I read 38 books over the course of a year, so go me for reading more!
I’ve talked about most of these books in my newsletter, but they were good enough that I wanted to talk more about them in this year-end review.…
Vertigo
Last week, I got sick for a couple of days. A little sniffly, not too bad. Primarily just felt crappy.
On Thursday, I woke up feeling better. Started doing some yoga. Quickly realized that inverting was dangerous. As in, okay, I need to get out of this position, sit on the floor for a while, and try not to throw up.…
