So I've been leaving it to the last minute because I was trying to figure out where Newsrob was heading... looks like NewsBlur for now, but maybe Feedly later ( Read more... )

So I've been wondering/worrying about needing a wheelchair for years, what with the diminishing mobility, and this year I had decided I wanted one for going to any long events where I'd have to sit in someone else's chair (usually this means torture and torment and three+ days of recovery) but was having a chicken-and-egg issue where I was too ( Read more... )

Rambling about the year.

SleepSo 2011 was pretty bad, but in a fair chunk of it I was stumbling around in a haze because I just plain wasn't getting any sleep. And sleep debt is really, really, hard on me. I am not sure I am actually recovered from all of the sleep problems ( Read more... )

My mind is a very cluttered place, and so my journal is much the same. I'm trying to go through and tag at least the more recent untagged entries, as well as consolidate my sprawling mass of tags into something a little leaner and meaner. I don't really want to mirror to Dreamwidth while my tags are a writhing mess, because then I wind up with ( Read more... )

I am still a giant ball of flareups and sleep, and I didn't make it to the farmers market last weekend. Brad however went, yay! And we had cooked too much last week and ordered too many veggies so we actually had plenty of food leftover for this week too. Brad is doing virtually all of the cooking ( Read more... )

We've been refining the menu planning in the face of how crashy I've been lately; I've had days this week when I've slept more than 18 hours. One thing that's a problem is I might have a dish planned that exists only in my head, so we get into a loop where Brad can't make it because I'm down, or if I get up he can't help me with it because he ( Read more... )

So I didn't want to lose all of the morning-waking progress I'd been making on vacation, so Brad and I decided to try walking every morning at 6am (7am in Santa Fe) to get me some natural light exposure, which works far better than artificial light when my cycle is stressed. I took my blue-green LED visor but ended up not using it ( Read more... )

(Yes, I am still food-obsessed; this is what I do when I am too crashy to actually get up and cook.)

A friend of mine gave me a link to Eating Well's list for the well stocked pantry. I thought this was a very well-done list and it was surprising how much of it I keep on hand myself, even with my rather serious dietary restrictions. The only ( Read more... )

So I'm thinking of branching out, though it's going to take me a while to spin up ( Read more... )

I'm just dreadfully behind on email, and I have a lot of tabs open in firefox of people's blogs that I wanted to comment on, but that it's been so long it's probably no longer meaningful anymore ( Read more... )
