After a harrowing night/day, I’m glad to report two things. I’m tougher than I thought, being that I didn’t die and the other thing being that I’ve got a clean and healthy colon. The doc even said that I can probly go 5 years until I need to schedule another colonoscopy. What a relief.
Of course [...]

I haven’t been here much lately and I hope you didn’t miss me. Wait. Yeah, I hope you did. I missed you.
Anyway, I’ve been busy evacuating. And I don’t mean getting the hell outta Dodge. And you must congratulate me because due to all this, it’s official- No one can [...]

I got so much crap going on with doctors and appointments and phone calls that I’m boring the hell out of myself so I’m not going to bore you with it. Except that there isn’t much else going on in my life right now. I’m tired feeling like shit and wishing all the [...]

(CAUTION: Major Venting Ahead)
I have been so ridiculously busy, preoccupied and stressed lately and I’m feeling that I’ve neglected my poor blog. I’ve had so much to write and it’s all been swirling around in my head and, much to my chagrin, lots of it has either gotten forgotten or grown into something that now [...]

You know, my life is weird. It may not be much of a life, but damn, it’s interesting. I’m not exactly sure if it is my life. per se, or if it’s my perspective. Maybe it’s just that I’m so easily amused and entertained. Either way, prepare yourself for a weird [...]

Sometimes life has a way of gettin’ ahead of you and the best you can do is just hold on tight and go with it. Things happen that you have no control over. Other things pop up that you’re just not emotionally equipped to deal with, no matter how hard you try.
I’m, at [...]

I’m waiting for a couple more responses to the “two groups” question for the sake of drawing some parallels maybe… but in the mean time, I’ll share this little story.
Bit of background first: You remember the dreaded medication I was on that made me mildly postal AND increased the hot flashes a hundredfold? Well, George, [...]

This is a quick one, being that I need to go back to work today after a great 3-day weekend.
So that phone call to the insurance company? Was a breeze! Amazing huh? No menu to wait through, just a minute-long “wait for the next available representative” and then “Mark” came on (I’m [...]

Enjoying my Sunday morning with coffee and myself. Waiting for the sun to come out because dammit, I need sunshine.
Last night I was attempting to go on my Healthcare site and regrettably, was too freakin lazy stubborn to look up my username/password which I couldn’t remember because I so frequently (not) visit my Healthcare [...]

My Sweet Leetle Seester Hazel is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. She’s got a herniated disc and is having that nifty surgery where they go in through your neck and I think, replace the bulging disc with a piece of cadaver bone that acts as a plate. (The link may not [...]

The most constructive thing I did today was roam around my house wiping telephones, doorknobs, light switches and faucets with Clorox wipes.
Around 4pm, PD said to me, “Oh, by the way, Happy Valentine’s Day!” I instantly choked up. Add to the already runny nose and watery eyes.
I also watched Gus Van Sant’s [...]

I’ve been down with the flu since Tuesday afternoon. Life has consisted of sleeping and trying to eat and then thinking better of it. I’ve been on here a couple of times but I’ve gotten way behind on blog reading. Maybe I’ll get caught up on the weekend.
I’ve come to realize that being confined to [...]

I woke up in the middle of last night with a full-blown touch body-slam of the flu. All this time I’ve been trying to gain weight? Ha ha. Gone. That’s all I have to say about that.
I laid around all day with my new best friend, the down comforter. We bonded. [...]

I had lots of things, nice things to talk about but since I need a little venting, I’m going to get that out of the way. I can’t concentrate on “nice” things until I do. If you’re not in the mood for whining and complaining, simply move on. Or stay here and [...]

Is it ok to screw around with my header, say, like once a week or so? Or is it distracting? I just realized a couple weeks ago that I can actually do that without any major anxiety. And since I haven’t been able to master uploading pictures, this seems like an option [...]

I wasn’t sure if I would get time to post this or not tonight but I figured tomorrow’s kind of like a Friday at work, so I can be up later than usual…
My mom had surgery this morning and is doing fine. I had told some of you ahead of time and want to [...]

Hey y’all. I missed you! Amazing how a few days away can get a woman feelin’ all behind. It might take me awhile to get caught up, your patience is appreciated. I read all the comments left while I was gone, I will get to them at some point I hope. [...]

What an insane week this has been. I’ve been non-stop from 5:30am to at least 6:30pm every day this week. And I don’t just mean awake, I mean functioning at some level of activity for an average of 13 hours per day. I’m used to more like 10 hours of full-throttle. Those [...]

Crazy week I’m having here, thanks for askin’.
Therapy progress was looking grim until this morning when I woke up and felt like a human being. I’m feeling more hopeful. My ultrasonic and hands-on massage yesterday was accompanied by a quite informative half-hour long oration about the history of the states of Mississippi and [...]

Just got back from 2 and 1/2 hours of physical therapy. You read that right. Two and one half hours. Sheesh. So now I’m behind on everything I’d planned for the evening. Including dinner and I’m starved so this will be short.
The therapy is for intercostal muscle strain (also called [...]

I did it. I survived, but barely. Working four 10-hour days is definitely not my bottle of beer. cup of tea. I couldn’t get to sleep at night and couldn’t wake up in the morning. Driving to work in the dark with pea-soup fog is for the birds. My body hurts. And I now have [...]

Here’s the Thing…
Last weekend on our way home from the family reunion, PD and I stopped for dinner at one of our favorite little places in a town called Punxsutawney. While we were dining, I felt a little spell of mild anxiety coming on. (something not entirely unusual for me after a few nights [...]

It’s a pretty morning, not yet unbearably hot. Had the required coffee on the porch with the birds and my out-of-control wild flowers. Happy to find some quiet Think Time. Sorted out some issues; what I do and don’t have control over. What I can change and what I can’t. Sadly found that the list [...]

I had planned on sharing the family reunion with you, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that:
a) You really don’t know and can’t appreciate any of these people (except Hazel and JuJu and Ju wasn’t there.) and,
b) Most of the goings-on fell under the category of “You Had to Be [...]

I’m going to blame my state of mind of late on the medication I’m taking. There is no other explanation for my behavior recently. Or rather, I should say, the way I’ve been feeling. I can’t say the least little thing sets me off, it takes a wee bit more than that, [...]

… is how I’ve been feeling. I can’t seem to focus on anything. I’m leaning toward blaming it on the medication I’m on for this “female annoyance.” Two more months of this hormone-induced madness seems like more than I’m wanting to endure. Just. Can’t. Imagine…
It’s fucking ridiculous hard to endure hot flashes in the midst [...]

First, let me apologize for not answering comments as I usually do for the last couple of days. I was a bit exhausted and kind of a nervous wreck. I would have denied it then but I can tell you now that I was.
I won’t drag this out. George called me this afternoon and thankfully, [...]

No word yet in regards to Saturday’s post. I’m holding tight but at some point today if I don’t hear anything, I’m going to go batshit crazy. call George and say “What the f***, dude, why you makin’ me wait?” “So have you gotten the results of my biopsy?”
I’m excited to be going to kidnap my [...]

If you are reading this, I’m sorry for you. Like me, you are missing Bonnaroo. That is just wrong. We should be there. The only thing I can do for you is to provide this link. I spent almost two hours digging around on the site, listening to music and reading about the bands there [...]

I guess I’ve been neglecting posting mostly for lack of anything interesting or positive to report. I’ve been experiencing a kind of crappy intermission lately; a break from my normally wonderful, exciting and enthusiastic existence. Ha.
Let’s get all the shitty shit crap out of the way and move on to the lighter side then…
