So, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure 3-Day began this morning here in Washington. I'm a bit sad, feel like I should be there, but at least this year the event is being represented by my cousin Alicia, family-wise. It's her first, so I hope she does better than my mother and I fared back in 2006 (when Mom ended up in the CCU with severe dehydration ( Read more... )

Well, gee, I guess I remembered the day after all, LOL.

So anyway, it's Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, and since I'm affected by it (plus it runs in my family), I figured I'd point it out to anyone who might want to learn more about it.

A new site was launched that looks like a good resource worth sharing: Fibro Center: About Fibromyalgia. Given ( Read more... )

OHAY, yeah, I'm having a GRRREAT week (feel the sarcasm oozing from that statement ( Read more... )

Well, here I am. I once again seem to have managed to catch the crap that I was afraid I'd get last week, thanks to my Dad, and several cousins, and everyone else who has had it at work. Watch out for this crap, though, because it seems like everyone is getting it (it's the throat crap that makes you hoarse and congested). It's especially icky for ( Read more... )

...I just had a freshly-baked Lemon Poppyseed muffin (someone brought in muffins this morning, woo), so I dare say I wouldn't pass any drug tests that came my way. Not that I've ever had one or needed to have one, but if someone wanted to start, I'd probably fail. It was worth it, though! Mmmm. (I swear I've posted about this sort of thing before, ( Read more... )

Here goes all my randomly random thoughts for the day; kind of one of those long overdue things. (STOP - Ramble time ( Read more... )

Well, Mom is doing okay; she's trying to do more than she should be, if you ask me, being stubborn all the while, but she's able to get up and do a few things. (She tends to be more comfortable standing up, rather than staying in bed or sitting, which puts pressure on the tailbone.) I helped make sure she could shower safely yesterday (normally she ( Read more... )

Every so often I go back and check the Volcano Cam on Mount St. Helens (to see if it's steaming, erupting, etc.), and I was greeted with a shot just begging to be Photoshopped. (Or Paint Shop Pro'd, as it were.) ^_^

Just click for the larger image (as pulled from the site earlier); you can read the caption I pasted in the picture.

Yes, I'm alive, but been busy with schtuff. Especially allergies. Bleah. *SNEEZES ( Read more... )

Some of you (okay, so many of you I know on here) are in the midst of TONS of snow and cold and bleah in general. Which sucks, I'm quite sure (I'd feel your pain, but I'll pass, thanks), but it's even more fun for me right now...we have ANOTHER air stagnation advisory, which carries over into Monday morning. [Yeah, I could have told them that days ( Read more... )
