When we were in Chicago, eating at Gino’s, I was hunched over the salad staring at the dressing. It was an olive oil/white vinegar vinigrette, obviously, and I was looking at the spices suspended in it: that was obviously red pepper flakes, but that? Was that cayenne? …and then WHAM! out of the blue: full-on […]
My water cure has been going on for a few months now. I typically drink 64 ounces of water a day. Three days ago, I… stopped. Drank a couple glasses of water, but because I’d lost my water bottle I wasn’t drinking enough. And I was tired. I’d been up ’til midnight most nights recording, […]
After the flu and protracted anxiety, my neck and ribs were FUBAR. I mean, totally FUBAR. As in, I couldn’t turn my head far enough to change lanes while driving the Jeep. Yesterday I drove to town and went to see Dr. Crossland. I’d taken Brett there before, but had never been myself. It was […]
This is how screwed up I am. The day before yesterday, I was pretty badly amped. Had to do a bunch of yoga and japa when I got home from work, and I was pretty sweaty-palmed and geeked out much of the day, but it was tolerable. Last night was pretty rough too but it […]
Monday I felt great but found I had a wee cough. Nothing serious. I thought it was the result of bar over-exposure Friday night. It wasn’t. Monday night my chest got tight. By nine thirty it hurt; by eleven I was seriously sick. By four in the morning I Was In Hell. My entire chest, […]
Last night we went to bed early. (If that’s not a euphemism for “got laid,” I don’t know what is!) I was asleep by eight, probably. I woke up at midnight, thirsty as hell. Stella had somehow gotten shut in the future living room and her whining had woken Brett up half an hour after […]
Today, Tahmi came over to visit me. She brought me a book from her man, a pizza from Pizza Slut (we both secretly eat there when our menfolk aren’t looking – shhh), a Frappucino (I only drank half of one), and a pack of smokes since Brett hadn’t left me ANY. I gave her a […]
I’m feeling practically normal, finally! No more crying jags! In other words, my hormones are totally back to normal. Yay! I had a pelvic exam yesterday (oh joy… NOT) and the nurse midwife agrees that I’m not pregnant. Since I haven’t had a normal period yet I’m taking this truly horrible-awful-bad tasting emmenagogue to get […]
About an hour after I got up this morning, I noticed a bump on the back of my left hand. It’s the size of a pea and it’s under my skin. It doesn’t hurt; it just grosses me out, kinda. So I got dressed and came to work and walked in and showed it to […]
This afternoon I was digesting my lunch and updating my knitting entries over at Iowa Chicks Knitting, in between processing Evergent emails, when suddenly I felt a rush and I was extrememly dizzy, my palms were sweating, and my heart was racing. My chest hurt. My vision was fuzzy, spotty around the edges. I thought […]
