Low-Sodium Mongolian Beef
As requested on Facebook... I am posting it here. :) The original recipe is not low sodium, but I adjusted it and used the Soy Sauce Alternate (see below) instead of an entire cup of soy sauce, which would have sent me into sodium shock. :) I also like to add pea pods, bean sprouts, and mushrooms to this to really fill out the meal ( Read more... ) -
Meniere's... again
Okay... So, after more reading, here's today's Meniere's theory: Maybe it is TMJD. My right jaw has always had a slight click to it at times, which is a BIG sign of TMJD. I am going to go see the dentist hopefully some time this week (will call tomorrow and make an appointment) to see if this theory holds water ( Read more... ) -
Meniere's
The fucking Meniere's vertigo is back. I went literally 250 days without it, and it came back with a vengeance on Friday night (just before the CSO concert I was at was about to begin--something I had waited MONTHS to see). The only thing that could have set it off is the weather. I'll go back to keeping the little recordkeeping journal of what I ( Read more... ) -
Storm. Flood.
7" of rain in 24 hours.
You can only guess what my basement and neighborhood look like right now. :/ -

This tornado got within half a mile of my dad's house. Everyone's ok and his business in downtown Tuscaloosa is ok, but WOW.

(Untitled)
Well, I was going to finally get in the shower, but now we have yet another storm moving in. It's weird, too--the lightning almost pops, not flashes, and then the thunder is that deep, slow kind that sounds like a bobsled rolling over the roof of the house. I am SO SICK of this rain and these storms. I haven't seen sunlight in about 3 weeks--it's ( Read more... ) -
Some random musings
I saw something yesterday during my run that you just don't see that often anymore--someone's discarded cassette mix tape, broken, yards and yards of tape streaming on the school fence down the block ( Read more... ) -
Hmm.
Strange day.
I woke up around 2:45 this morning for no good reason--for some reason I felt like we were having an earthquake. Yeah, here in Illinois. Not that we NEVER have them, but I don' t know if maybe my ears were plugged and I was dizzy or something, but for some odd reason I had "earthquake" stuck in my head. Went back to sleep thinking ( Read more... ) -
Winter.
Jeez, we're only two days into REALLY cold winter weather, and my body has already gone into "CARB LOAD RIGHT NOW to stay warm!!!" mode. I am absolutely craving ANY kind of carbs--crackers, sweets, pop... I just ate a leftover Rice Krispie treat from yesterday after some veggies and cheese from the veggie tray, and now my brain is screaming for a ( Read more... ) -
Drain problems. Again.
The tub drain is 95% clogged right now. It takes half an hour to drain 3 minutes worth of water.
I plunged out a hunk of hair and muck the size of a guinea pig... and I also plunged out--get this--TWO MARBLES. Fucking MARBLES?!? What the hell else is down there?????
