Not for me. OMG, no. Made myself some last night. Cup of coconut milk, added some turmeric, pinch of black pepper, some cinnamon, cardamon, vanilla, ginger, coconut oil, and a dash of honey. It had an odd taste, but I figured I could get used to it. Adjust the spices some. In about 15 minutes, […]

Woke up this morning feeling normal again. Kind of strange. Kind of awesome. Though I haven’t been taking my health for granted. Always was too afraid that I’d lose it suddenly. Which, honestly, I kind of did, with the hormones. It feels as though I’m recovering from a long illness. I’m not, not really. But

Woke up this morning feeling mostly normal. Sunday was the last time I felt this way. A big part of the problem this last week was the smoke. Couldn’t breathe, had constant headaches. Then yesterday, woke up with my jaw hurting because I’d been clenching my teeth all night. Was pretty manic all day. Made

So, as promised, here’s the long post with lots of pictures about our guerrilla gardening and processing rose hips. Why rose hips? There have been actual double-blind scientific studies that show that rose hips are good for inflammation.

Hurray! The final book in the Tanesh Empire Trilogy is now available! The Blurb: Riyune the dog dies in the myth worlds, binding the desert heart and protecting the real world from horrific chaos. Yet, he still lives, and returns with Trulliç and Nadeem. The emperor, denied the desert heart, turns his attention to Trulliç,

Yesterday, Sunday, I woke up, and I didn’t have a headache. I also didn’t have brain fog. And I didn’t feel bad. In fact, I felt good. I felt NORMAL. It made me realize that it’s been weeks since I’ve felt normal when I woke up. Yesterday was the sort of day that I would

We are home now, after our camping adventure. As I think I mentioned, I’m going to continue with the morning blogs, at least some days, at least for a while. While I was camping, I discovered that writing a short blog post first, before I tried writing fiction, really helped, at least on the days

Woke up feeling okay yesterday morning. Slight headache that grew worse as the morning went on, but then lessened again before noon. It’s kind of weird, feeling okay, then going for a walk and feeling as though I’ve suddenly jarred loose the pain. It was still a great day, though. Managed 4600 words before 11

For those of you just joining, Blaze and I are camping up in Deception Pass for a few days.   Yesterday, day two, started really rough. I woke up with a massive headache. Now, one of the things we forgot to pack were our pillows. While we have camp pillows, they kind of suck.
