Updates
Alright, I'm overdue on an update again. I know, I know. So, once again, viva la unnumbered list! (aka "bullet points") In no particular order, here's what's going on in and around my life:

• My sister went in for her second chemo treatment on Monday. She's getting it once ever three weeks. (A total of six courses.) After the first round, ( Read more... )

Ouch6:30am this morning, I was woken up by the girls for food. The kitties are always impatient in the mornings and normally get me up to be fed in the wee am hours. I get up, shuffle to the kitchen, pour some kibble and shuffle back to bed ( Read more... )

Stomach Agony
THIS IS ALL PROBABLY TIMI BUT I NEED TO GET IT OUT. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

This hasn't been a fun weekend health-wise. I've been just so damned sick to my stomach, culminating in tonight's so-bad-it's-food-poisoning-bad flare. My entire digestive system sucks. It totally fucking sucks. It's broken and it refuses to work right. ( Read more... )

Fatigue
Fatigue is kicking my ass this week. It's really bad. Really, really, really bad. It's so hard to explain to someone what boughts of extreme fatigue feel like and how they impact you. There's a lot of, "so what? I'm tired too" mentality. But fatigue isn't just "drowsy" or "didn't get enough sleep." In fact, it's usually that you can't ever ( Read more... )

More RandomnessGuess late night posting is the new black. Seems that as the night goes on, I get thinking of writing an entry. So I do. *shrugs* I'm on the couch again, typing from the laptop. I've been re-reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince the last couple of days. Finished my last book on Sunday I think, and with book seven coming out ( Read more... )

This and That
I just haven't done that much in the way of entries lately, so I thought I'd just do a general recap.

Weekend/Harry Potter Movie (spoiler free) - Let's see...this weekend we saw the latest Harry Potter flick. (Order of the Phoenix) I liked it. They cut a lot out of course, but you know they have to trim. Books just allow for so much ( Read more... )

Welcome To July
Sorry in advance if I make any weird typos that I don't catch and correct. I'm typing on a laptop keyboard which is very different from my normal ergonomic keyboard on my desktop. I'm writing this from the couch because I got a hand-me-down laptop from a friend and so weeeeeeee! laptop. Rocks. I've wanted one for a LONG time but ( Read more... )

Miserable MorningStarting your day by waking up in pain, rushing into the bathroom and then whimpering in agony for about an hour and a half makes for an absolutely miserable morning ( Read more... )

This & That ThursdayJust an update for the sake of making an update. Expect randomness. You are forewarned ( Read more... )

Sleep, Migraines and Stomach Issues - Oh my!It's been a bad week. All last week, I was plagued with migraines. Every day, around 4:30pm - 5:30pm, my head would start getting bad. A migraine would start forming and just worsen over the next few hours. Most nights, it was full-blown by 9pm or so. (The long, lingering build-up isn't normal for me. I ( Read more... )
