Ramblings

So of course, after having several good days in a row, I get hit with a bad one, out of the blue. Woke up with a massive headache this morning. This is as close to a migraine as I get these days. Though if it lingers, there’s a chance it will transform into a migraine. […]

Went to a “Pride and Prejudice” party yesterday. We watched the six hour version with Collin Firth and ate theme appropriate food. Or as my friend described it – we sconed the shit out of that thing. Blaze and I made six different flavors of scones for the party, including pumpkin, apple and spices, chocolate,

Fair warning: This post deals with poisoning unwanted vermin. The tiny house sits on a platform. The crew dug down 8″, edged the area with two 4x4s stacked on top of each other, and then filled the rest with rocks. The platform wasn’t completely level, and so the tiny house actually sits on skinny concrete

Yesterday, I had a colonoscopy. The prep for it wasn’t too bad. The worst part of the prep was the laxative they had me take, before the Colyt. Ugh. Have never taken one before, don’t plan on taking one ever again. It made me nauseated and gave me quite a stomach cramp. Five years ago

Yesterday was a good day. I wrote 4000 words, walked 10K steps, as well as did some essential publishing work. I am hoping to do something similar today in terms of all three.   It always surprises me when I snap back into wellness. It never surprises me when I am suddenly sick, basically going

The last few days have not been good, quite frankly. It started with Saturday, which did turn out to be a couple days before my period started. No brain, fighting for words, feeling shitty. Sunday was better, but I still had a low grade headache all day. Monday my period actually started and it was

So the good news is that my knee continues to heal. This morning it is a lot less sore and the swelling continues to go down. Like yesterday morning, it feels stiff, not sore. The bad news – hormones have come back. I’ve been feeling so good lately. Clear and free of headaches. Last night,

So, I messed up my knee. Since I already had an appointment with my physical therapist, I asked her about it yesterday. She did a thorough exam and told me that I didn’t tear anything, which was what I’d been most concerned about. I did, however, strain it pretty hard. Normally, the sort of thing
