I remember when I got sick with TheThingThatAlmostBlewOutMyChestAndAteReno back in March, and reading about how something like only 20% of people with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (the boring doctor name) wind up with clots in their chest, and of those 20%, only 10% need surgery on the scale I had. At least I think those were the numbers. Anyway, I ( Read more... )

I should be bled. Nothing else is working, so I'm ready to turn to leeches. I worked my blinkin' ass off (now, there's a mental image) last week, and now my reward is being sick with a nasty cold. Today is the King holiday, so thank you to Martin that I don't have to write sub plans. We'll have to see about tomorrow. Despite the long weekend, ( Read more... )

1. Be kinder to myself. Listen to the tape in my head and ask myself if it is true, kind, and helpful, and work on creating a new tape ( Read more... )

I'm off work this week. Don isn't. So this morning, I'm awakened to the repeated openslamopenslam of dresser drawers. Don couldn't find his workout clothes, and, you guessed it: it's my fault. "I don't know what you did with them! It's like you washed my shirt, but not my shorts!" Apparently, I am the Wiley Shorts Gnome. I told him, in a ( Read more... )

The hub wants to go downtown tonight, wander through casinos and watch the fireworks indoors and out. The Legacy is claiming to have indoor fireworks inside their giant dome. Should be either a neat trick, or ( Read more... )

It's snowing! Boy, is it snowing! And I'm making cookies, and only have to work for one more week, and the staff Christmas party is tonight! And I have my final project still to type, and Don can't come with me tonight because he has to study for his final. Damn, conversation just took a nasty turn there...Whatever! It's SNOWING!!! How come ( Read more... )

Anyone know anything about Sheila's status post surgery?

God help me, I can't stop researching. It's a sickness, really. I could just stop with what I have for my research proposal for my master thesis, but no, I keep going after studies like Melanie Griffin after botox. I'm taking tomorrow off of work because draft 1 is due tomorrow afternoon. Egads, I'm in a hole. I have a question, sort of, and a ( Read more... )
