Going to the Joint Place in QUOTIDIEN
Facing this shoulder thing head on, tomorrow. Insurance through union runs out end of this month, so here's to quick answers. Cortisone shot, maybe. Those are SO much fun! Slinking off to ...
Her Name Shall Be Tootie! in QUOTIDIEN
My sister is dilated to a 6, is fully effaced, has had her bloody show, but now...NOW...the contractions are irregular, though strong. This little fart is toying with us. I fixed her, though. ...
Limiting God in Kansas in QUOTIDIEN
From MSNBCAnti-evolution activists have pushed a variety of measures over the last several decades, hoping to either eliminate or water down science-class curricula, though nearly all of the effo...
Shoulders and puppies! in QUOTIDIEN
No way! Tried to make an appointment with my GP because this shoulder thing is still being a bitch. Can't see ANY doctor in the practice until MAYBE the second week of March. Mind you, the GP ...
This is my daughter. She is FOURTEEN. Only fourteen! When she was hatched, we could hold her in one hand, she was so tiny. I can't believe she just up and grew like this. I look at hubby a...
I am a newbie to the World of Time Lords, and started with season Five...because that's as far back as I could go with Netflix DVDs. Last night, I learned something about River Song and Amelia Po...
Buckwheat and hip-hop in QUOTIDIEN
So I made some 'galettes au sarrasin' tonight. Galettes are thicker and drier than crêpes, but thinner and more pliable than pancakes. Best way to eat them is buttered and rolled up. But, beca...
How SWEET it is! in QUOTIDIEN
We ran out of fruit at the end of last week. This is drastic as it is the only sweetness I get. No cookies, no cakes, HoHo's, hot chocolate, candy bars. Nothing to carry me through my cravings...
This is my favorite, all-time sound these days. Happens whenever I measure, step on a scale, or try on those pants I'd almost determined I'd not get into ever again. If today is the 10th (isn't...
Hair stylists? What say you? in QUOTIDIEN
This is it. We have arrived at that special time of year when I begin contemplating my next 'do'. Of course, whenver I do my research, I'm required to provide a face 'shape'. I am currently i...
Range of Motion in QUOTIDIEN
I have this shoulder thing going on. In fact, it has been going on for quite some time, and I believe it has something to do with my rotator cuff. So -being the pro-active person that I am, I g...
Not how it should go! in QUOTIDIEN
I'm a Patient Advocate. Aside from providing personal care for my patient, I fight insurance companies, research her disease (MS) and examine new symptoms so that when we get to this doctor or t...
Peaceful Companions in QUOTIDIEN
There are those of you familiar with the teeth-gnashing, madly drooling, menacing growler that Was Beth (when we brought her home) upon meeting a cat. They will know just how miraculous this p...
Nose to the ground! in QUOTIDIEN
So - after freaking out the previously unfreakable cat, Beth began on her journey on the path to being schooled by a cat she clearly outweighs by 70 or so pounds. Caught now on the coffee table,...
For the past hour or so, the running, background sound of life has been 'CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK'. That's Beth, our German shepherd trotting after Ziggy, our...
I thought I'd shared this here, but a quick check says otherwise. Anyhow..... The Click is sort of like my super power. I don't control it. In fact, The Click usually comes when things in my l...
Is it easy? in QUOTIDIEN
Depends. In the beginning of January, I explained why I thought my journey would be successful this time in an entry entitled CLICK. We all have it, at some point in our lives, I think. It's...
No pot, no special brownie recipes - but I thought I'd give an update about Anne-Marie's wrist. We went to the specialist for the official word. We won't be buying any lottery tickets, folks. ...
Our middling son who has taken an apartment with Jenny, a young woman that both hubby and I approve of (as if that matters any), decided it was time to decorate with cats. Jenny, who fell madly ...
More than one way... in QUOTIDIEN
No cat skinning, here. I have been following new eating guidelines for the sake of my health, which has a happy, weight-loss side effect. Since January first, I have lost 13 lbs. I had actua...
Poor Beth! It would appear that all her favorite, outdoor aromatherapy spots have all frozen over, which has propelled her on a fruitless search for the next, best thing: fresh laid cat poop. Un...
Hurry up! GET HERE ALREADY! in QUOTIDIEN
It is no secret that I have issues, one of which is PATIENCE. I don't have it - and I want it.....NOW! It doesn't help that despite having a pretty good understanding of 'the big picture', my ...
POWERBALL, ANYONE? in QUOTIDIEN
For as long as I can remember, whenever my daughter hurt somewhere, she would grasp my hand and lay it over the 'owie'. Naively, I believed that she was demanding a 'laying of hands' for healing...
Getting there in QUOTIDIEN
Though I started on January 1st, this new eating plan was never intended as a New Year's resolution. My fingers have been very sore in the mornings, and my migraines have been monstrous, SO - ma...
Where in the World is MJ?! in QUOTIDIEN
I have been busier than a mosquito at a nudist colony! Most importantly, 2014 is my year. I am: A) Learning Spanish through DuoLingo. I have reached a point where to add more words means losin...
