I got into work last week Monday morning for our usual weekly meeting and discovered some distressing news: My boss' mom had broken her hip ( Read more... )

I was so thankful to have a restful weekend where, aside from the usual Saturday morning tasks, I didn't have to leave the house. It was lovely. One thing I did do on Saturday was make treats. I had a Honeycrisp apple left over from the week; they're so big, I can't eat a whole one at one meal. The leftovers fed me for a second away-from-home ( Read more... )

It's been a very long week for multiple reasons and I am tired. Sleep has been somewhat elusive, or more like I couldn't help staying awake, like I was avoiding what my brain might have to say. Also, I have an overuse injury, this time with my right arm and slightly that elbow. Playing five times in a week, including three days in a row, will do ( Read more... )

Two things happened a couple weeks ago on a Thursday. I revisited them yesterday ( Read more... )

It's been about a week since I hurt my foot. I've kept it wrapped as a precaution for most of this time, given that I do so much running around at work this time of year. For the most part, it hasn't really bothered me, then yesterday it kept feeling weird. I've been wearing gym shoes the last few days, thinking it would help, but my tan shoes seem ( Read more... )

Even though it's the busy season, I managed to sneak out of work on time yesterday to go pick up my new glasses. I have my Fancy Band Sunday rehearsal to thank for that, too. Honestly? The worst part about that was discovering there was a car show going on in the area where I normally park, so I had to go to this really run-down parking lot nearby ( Read more... )

Back in December 2021, I witnessed a one-car accident where the vehicle ended up on its roof in a ditch. I called 911 to get the driver help. If I was hoping that would be the one and only time I called 911, that was ruined last night at work ( Read more... )

I had an unusual day at work yesterday, but it starts over the weekend. I mentioned going through things in my bathroom. I found this hair stuff that mom gave me, this chocolate conditioning crème that I figured I would use up and get rid of it. Since Tuesday is a conditioner-only day, I tried it yesterday. It made my hair sort of fluffy, so I ( Read more... )

The last two weeks were pretty rough on me. When work is hectic and stressful and physical, it really takes a toll. I woke up Thursday morning thinking, this is going to be a sitting day, and then the way the day unfolded, I didn't get a chance to sit until about 2:30 PM, and only because my left leg was protesting heavily. I don't even know how to ( Read more... )

There's a woman I semi-follow online and last week she mentioned having hypermobility and how it was concurrent with her having ADHD. Wait, what? I'm not sure I've come across that before, but let's check another box on the bingo card. People with hypermobility are more likely to have other issues, including ADHD, per its Wikipedia page. Let's see ( Read more... )
