Cold FrontIt's Monday Morning and I already want to go back to bed. Actually, I would have still been asleep (with thanks to dosing myself on Benedryl last night so I could sleep) but Mom called. Not that she called overly early or anything, but the Benedryl makes me sleep like a rock. (And no, I don't think rocks actually sleep, but they do lay ( Read more... )

Sicker than SickForget the whole, "why do I have a sore throat?/Might I be getting sick?" thing. It's WAY official. I am dead-on-my-feet sick. Still a sore throat over 24 hours later, my entire body feels like I've been bludgeoned by sledge hammers and I'm alternating between sweating and being so cold I shake so hard I can't hold a glass of water ( Read more... )

This and That
I keep thinking of little blurbs of things to post but they're (A) not enough to do on their own or (B) things I think about at times that I'm not ready or able to post. I'm going to try to remember some though now and update.

• Sewing Machine So I've managed to get some non-loopy stitches out of my machine last night. Not sure which ( Read more... )

In Other News...
First off, thank you to everyone who took the time to comment or email their support and thoughts on my post(s) about the loss of Panda. It greatly moved me to have such a kind group of friends share in my sadness.

This and That
Ok, so let's get right into the playing catch-up stuff...

PMLE - On the sun allergy front, things still aren't better. We're two weeks into my rash this time around. Far longer than any previous reaction in the past. I think it was re-aggravated by being outdoors again on Saturday. *sighs ( Read more... )

Irritations
Some of you might know that I have a strange allergy. It occurs most often in women and affects about 10% of the population. And it's called "Polymorphic (or Polymorphous) Light Eruption" and it's basically a UV allergy. I usually joke and say I'm allergic to the sun because it sounds funnier. The sad thing is that it's true. For ( Read more... )

The Week In Review
I haven't had a lot of time on the computer this week and now, it's Thursday and the week is almost gone. Whoooosh! There it went. Anyway, I thought I'd post a quickie entry just to touch base.

My Heath (Migraines & Stomach)First off, this week has been a totally unfun experience with migraines and stomach upset. Sunday I woke ( Read more... )

Good Riddance 2007
I have to admit. I won't really be sad to see this year go. I, like many people, had a really hard year filled with an unnecessary amount of crap. I can only hope that the new year will bring new hope, opportunity and prosperity.

Some of the oh-so-fun 2007 highlights included...

• My Aunt (and Godmother) being diagnosed with ( Read more... )
