As I was laying in bed last night, I nearly panicked for a few moments. You see, yesterday was BUSY. I had my massage at 10:45. I didn’t write before I went. Then there was lunch and publishing/working. In the evening, I did editing as well as reading. Uhmmmm…where’s the writing? I missed it! Luckily, […]
TLDR: my egg allergy appears to be over. Longer version: My body is weird. Figured I’d just get that out there. I have some unusual allergies, such as ibuprofen and chamomile. I have some more common allergies, such as corn and kiwi. I have had severe allergies appear and then disappear, more than once. When
I follow a ketosis diet. In short, that means limiting my carbs, eating lots of protein, and eating enough fat to be satiated. In addition, I have a sensitivity to nightshades. Too many potatoes makes me break out in cold sores. So I needed to find a crunchy alternative. For me, chicharrones, also known as
Last Thanksgiving, I stepped wrong, twisted my knee, and ended up severely straining my meniscus. I went to see my physical therapist once a week during January, hoping to get it back into shape. While PT helped, I still wasn’t healed. So I arranged to see my masseuse once a week for the next few

If this was anything approaching a normal year (how I chuckle when I write that) this weekend would be the ninth annual chocolate and wine tasting party. I’ve commented to my sweetie more than once this week about how I would be normally (there’s that word again) getting ready for it. Going to some specialty
Yesterday was finally the first day that I started to breathe deeply, the first day that I finally believed that the Biden-Harris term was going to happen. I’ve been so afraid. There were so many chances that even after they’d been elected, that something would have derailed the new administration. I didn’t watch the inauguration
Later this month will be my dad’s birthday. He would have been 101 this year, if he were still alive. My dad was a product of his times. His language was absolutely not PC, particularly not the terms he used for POC, for Jewish people, etc. Still, my dad fought in WWII. He worked with
I went to see my amazing physical therapist here in Maple Valley. (Seriously. If you’re local and you need PT, go see Dr. Amy!) The good news: I didn’t tear my meniscus. All I did was strain it, kind of badly. The better news: It should only take six-eight weeks of therapy and I should
