Yesterday turned out to be a really rough day. It wasn’t so much that I was in pain, but I had serious brain fog and I felt lousy all day. It took me two hours to write 1000 words. I probably should have quit after the first hour and the first 500, but I kept […]

Went to see Dr. Amy, my physical therapist, yesterday. My patella is finally moving again. Yay! Plus, most of the inflammation has gone down. Though I’m still a little puffy in spots, for the first time since the end of October, my entire knee/leg is not all swollen up. For the next week, I’m to

One of the commitments that I’ve made for myself is that I don’t just “show up” at the mat every morning. No, if I’m going to do yoga or exercise in the morning, I’m going to be present. I’m going to be there, commit to it, and not just go through the motions. This morning

One of the things that’s been interesting about doing all the productivity planning has been taking apart everything that has brought me to this place. Last night, I was thinking about my migraines, and finally realized that I was having regular migraines until the end of October 2017. So I’ve really only been mostly migraine

Over the weekend we bought a U-cut Christmas tree. It’s about eight feet tall, maybe a bit taller. Unfortunately, the stand I had was for a smaller tree, and so yesterday, the tree fell over. Twice. I got us a new stand. Last night, while we were putting the tree into the stand, it abruptly

Thank you one and all for all the lovely birthday greetings! I had a wonderful weekend. But now it’s Monday, and time to make different decisions about how I spend my time. (^_^) A few years ago I took the productivity class offered by Dean Wesley Smith (https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/online-workshops/). I wasn’t writing how I wanted to

About a month ago, I injured my knee. Then it healed wrong, and had to be adjusted all to hell last week. It had started feeling better and I swear it was healing. Then sometime last week, I re-injured it. I’m not sure what I did. My physical therapist couldn’t reconstruct what I did. Let’s

Yesterday was a rough day. I wrote 500 words, but they were a struggle. I was out of it all day. Had coffee in the afternoon, took two naps, and was still in bed before 9:30. Didn’t really start to recover until later in the evening, and I managed to accomplish a few things. Not

Yup. Period started today. Ugh. Not feeling 100% today. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll be much better.   Went to a PCC Cooks class last night. This one was about Fermented Fall Flavors.   As part of the Wahl’s paleo protocol, I’m supposed to be eating fermented foods on a regular basis. Problem is, I just

Altogether, the hormonal anxiety lasted about 48 hours. It started mid-afternoon on Saturday, and ended at almost the exact same time on Monday.   As I mentioned in a comment to someone, I used to say that I would never wish my migraines on anyone, as they were just too painful, and all the associated
