My joints and feet were particularly achy this morning so I decided a duvet day would be the best idea and allow them to heal up a bit. I slept for most of the morning and spent the rest arbly surfing the web on my iPad. In my online wanderings I came across two interesting ( Read more... )

Today I drove for the first time in what feels like ages. Mom and I headed to West Coast Village to the Sportsmans Warehouse there for more UV protective gear. They didn't have much and their staff didn't really understand what we were looking for. We browsed the nursary next ( Read more... )

My couch and I are bonding quite well these days. In fact we are barely ever more than a few feet apart. *chuckle* It is, however, one of the few places I'm actually comfortable, even if moving from seated to standing is a difficult and often painful process of rocking myself ( Read more... )

Today was a recovery day. As much as I tried to stock up on spoons for yesterday, I overspent because of the heat that I hadn't anticipated. Thus I spent most of the day half-asleep on the couch.

Today started a bit slow for me but I still managed to be completely gussied-up by the time @AniB arrived to fetch me. My feet were still so incrediably swollen, I had hoped they would have recovered a little. I had put my hair up in a mohawk and "gothed" my make-up a bit ... ( Read more... )

TamTams is an awesome companion cat. She stays with me all the time, even waking and following me from room to room at night. It is a bit disconcerting to sit on loo with her watching but if I close the door she meows at me. I even have to leave the bathroom door open enough ( Read more... )

The weekend was fairly uneventful although my health declined and pain increased over the days.

Friday night I watched "How to train your dragon" with my folks. They had never seen it before and now understand why I compare the resident stray cat to Toothless the dragon - they ( Read more... )

I lost two days. I have no memory of what I've done since Monday. Some investigation into my online activities shows that I did some blogging yesterday but beyond that nothing that gives any indication of anything of importance happening. I suspect it is time lost due to the ( Read more... )

All I want to do is sleep the days away. This is no good. This doesn't help. I need to function. I want to work and do things, not just watch the days and world float past in a dizzying haze.

The support wire for my lower teeth was fitted today at the orthodontist. The best date ( Read more... )
