    It’s been a few days since I wrote. Hi. Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. That’s crazy.   It really is. I’m pretty much stuck here for the next couple of days.   When the weatherman says it’s going to be rainy and “miserable,” that’s a good time to stay inside… although I’d still rather go to Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit – waiting on the air conditioner guy from the soon to be defunct Sears. I have no energy today. I did a lot yesterday.    There’s still a lot to do, just a slightly lesser amount.  I just don’t know what my deal is.    It’s practically noon and Read more

    Well, today has been pretty much a bust. It hasn’t rained or snowed, although I’m sure it’s freezing out there. I’m half packed and spent most of the day napping. While lounging around the house is some people’s picture of a perfect day, I find it fairly madding.  I feel like I have to be Read more

    Wednesday –  Cold – like the high of the mid to low 30s.  That’s about zero degrees in Celsius.  Good times. I think I drove the truck for the last time today.  Well, the last time for a couple of months.   It’s supposed to snow and rain tomorrow.   I don’t really have a viable reason Read more

    I’m exhausted. What’s with the pink? There were pink walls, pink robes (the ones that tie in the front), and pink plastic bags. There was pink wrapped candy if I cared to pick any up. The pictures where ugly pink flowers. Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. I get it.   Breast cancer awareness is a pink ribbon, Read more

    Admittedly, I’ve made the past couple of days harder on myself than I needed to be. The Wednesday routine mammogram turned up something.  This something was so something that they called me back on Thursday for additional pictures. Neither I nor my doctors are sure what it is yet, but I have two theories. A:  Read more

    Saw Doc S this morning. No change in the anti-depressants. She warded me from anti-schizophrenia meds.    Doc S said that, with my history, the side effects could be worse than any potential help.    If the voices persist, we may have to resort to that, but so far, so good. Despite the cold and Read more

    For some reason, I decided to stay home today. No gym, no silly game – nothing. My decision might possibly be based on the ice coating the quickly bare tree limbs.  The power was out from about one am going forward till about ten.  I really, really, really dislike the cold and the aching bones Read more

    Okay, so I went to the doctor today — my primary care physician, Dr P. I talked to a nurse for about five minutes while she took my vitals.   Dr. P made an appearance and I talked to her for about five minutes and then in comes the nurse to tap me for four vials Read more

  • Waiting

    I think I have a natural allergy to waiting. Right now, I’m waiting for my sister to wake up so we can go to the gym and she spoils me with lunch at Chilis (or Applebees or Montana Mikes or Texas Roadhouse) and Starbucks. But, she worked late last night and have never exactly been Read more
