My shoulder is doing much better and I slept - back in my bed !! - more than ok for the first night in over a week, but all day long I've felt really dizzy most of the time. Maybe it's still the strange cold I've got or some side effects from the pain meds I took over the last few days (not today yet, yay!) or just the stupid change of weather. I ( Read more... )

I'm so so tired again. It's no wonder thanks to the lack of sleep which the sore shoulder caused in the last few days. When I saw a doc the day before Christmas Eve I probably should have been more alert and ask more questions and demand some kind of treatment. but I was so stunned with the diagnosis at first. This doc made it seem like some ( Read more... )

I considered doing another "Project365" in 2011, starting from the first day of the year and really keep it up with the daily picture. Unlike the longer breaks I took when I did this project in 2008/2009. I was a bit hesitant, because I knew it would be difficult for me to come up with enough ideas to take pictures of. And I didn't think I would be ( Read more... )

There was supposed to be another year 2010 review post. But that was before my shoulder pain got worse and made typing difficult. Or restricted typing for long strech of time to the hours when I was so full of pain meds, that my brain got kind of woozy, which made thinking (and remembering stuff from 2010) rather difficult. The pain got worse of ( Read more... )

I finished listening to the last book of the audiobooks of the Outlander novel series and I'm tempted to start all over again. The same kind of withdrawel I lived through after I had finished readling all the books in the summer of 2009. I just LOVE this epic story and Davina Porter, who narrates these audiobooks is doing such a fantastic job. I ( Read more... )

There might be another Year 2010 review post later this week. Or maybe not. I have a vague idea of it, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to actually sit down and write it. I'm really, really lazy at the moment. I also thought about writing a "Getting to know the Bravermans" post about my Parenthood marathon of the last few days. But that most ( Read more... )

Sane people would have stayed home last night. Crazy people decided to to watch a hockey game of my 2nd favourite team :-) The team lost, rightfully so, so it maybe wasn't really worth it. Usually I'm the designated driver, but I declined to drive in this weather and luckily Bro1 had to drive himself anyway and could take Bro2 and Bro3, while I ( Read more... )

Of course my vacation didn't start as relaxing as I had planned it. At least not in every regard. This week I'm on snow duty, which means I have to get up early and clear the sidewalk in front of the house. Of course I could just go to bed early so that I get enough sleep, but where is the fun in a vacation if you go to bed early ;-)? I went back ( Read more... )
