As much as I’ve tried to ignore it, the election is coming up. I can’t help it, I just find the whole thing distasteful. I mean really? They are politicians. Each and every one of them, a talking puppet for a group of rabid people with an agenda all of their own. I question their [...]
I think I may apply for the nursing program at school. Actually at the two schools in my area that offer an RN program… since both have a pretty packed waiting list and determine placement based on grades, test scores and random luck, I figured I should apply to both and get into whichever lets [...]
Saturday morning I was puttering around in the garden when I heard a terrible hissing noise and found one of my cats engaged in mortal combat with, of all things, a hamster. A hamster who had obviously seen better days, as one eye was swollen shut and half of an ear was torn off. I [...]
My shingles are not gone.
I took my last dose of Prednisone Friday and yesterday I noticed I was getting itchy again. And then I woke up today to that familiar, burning pain, drowsy and weak and more than a little pissed off that this isn’t over yet. So, tomorrow I get another weeks [...]
The past few days have been crazy busy and I’ve found myself needing a bit of an energy boost to power through and get everything I need to get done handled. I’ve never been a big coffee drinker (total Tea Addict though!) or Gatorade, sports drinks, anything like that really. It’s the same reason I [...]
Is it possible to have roid rage from a little bit of prednisone? Cuz uh, I sorta feel like I want to kill everyone in my path. And then lock myself in my room. And then scream. And then eat a cream puff.
(It sort of started yesterday when one of the nurses told me that [...]
In attempt to ignore how uncomfortable I was this weekend (you’re not sick of hearing about that yet right? ) I made myself a skirt out of this unbelievably cool “Mehndi Safari” fabric. I added pockets in the front, a zipper and a contrasting blue waistband, just for fun. Its very twirly and fun! [...]
I try to avoid the doctors as much as possible. Not because he’s not a great guy (I mean, he never fails to convince my children that they have birds living in thier ears and that is funny) but because no matter how pleasant the visit, my wallet always comes away much, much lighter. But [...]
Maybe Catwoman. Or She-Hulk.
I have a bruised rib. (This is actually much more painful and dramatic than it sounds. Just ask my husband, as I’ve been growling at him roughly every fifteen minutes to remind him how much pain I am in. MUST. GET. HEALTH. INSURANCE. Painkillers would be lovely.) I had a disagreement with [...]
Well folks, through a twisty turny set of recent events I find myself the new owner of a job. Yep, a J.O.B. And even better? I like it! Of course, I may have to change my name to Mavis and grow a shemullet, but that is all in good time. I’ll try to keep my [...]
