I woke up very early this morning (insomnia, subtype: chronic), and I got pulled into reading old entries on this blog.  I apologize very much to all the people who left comments on my posts to whom I never replied; I tend not to go back and re-read old posts, so I miss that kind of thing way too easily ( Read more... )

So, I had some excitement on Halloween - I had emergency gallbladder surgery.  Whee ( Read more... )

Being sick sucks, and it's a lousy excuse for not posting, but there it is, and I can't get away from it.  Pennsic was physically rather challenging, though I had a great time, but at the end of War week, it had become rather obvious that I was on a downward turn again.  I see my doctor on Monday ( Read more... )

I am still alive, I've just been spending a lot of my time sleeping.  My medication is not keeping up with my thyroid decline, but I am assured by my doctor that it shouldn't continue much longer than a year to reach total zero, at which point, we'll try and find the right dosage ( Read more... )

Just my luck, I got a lovely rhinovirus for New Years.  I'm pretty much over it now, and looking forward to Atlantian 12th Night this weekend, where Gardiner's is going to dress up pretty and show people what we do (and invite anyone interested to our next muster, since we now have a fort to play in).  I plan to wear my fancy collar and cuffs, and ( Read more... )

I picked up some plague somewhere (I blame the plague monkeys in Whole Foods), so I'm currently hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh on Benadryl ( Read more... )

It has been a busy, busy day.

Scratch that - it's been a busy three weeks, and will be until Saturday, when I can finally wind down from immediate obligations.  We had a work weekend for Gardiner's Company at our place - digging in the fort and sewing things for sale - which was awesome, because everyone there was a friend, and people really took ( Read more... )

I'm in deep production mode for a friend's Steampunk Halloween party this weekend.  Bob finally made me stop cutting things out, saying I needed to rest ( Read more... )

Been asleep for the last two months (approximately).  I finally have lost enough of my thyroid function to warrant replacement thyroid, so we'll see where it goes from there.

I'll be at War of the Wings this weekend.
