Leave me a comment if you'd like to be added but don't expect too much.

I'm throwing this out on LiveJournal because Tumblr is my fun place where no one really cares about personal issues above the level of fandom feels and because Facebook is my public, small-town persona.  Not very excited talking about personal issues where my dentist and Z's pediatrician can have a read, you know?  This is very, very long and I ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to write an update for a while, especially considering the tone of my last entry.  Something that always amazes me is how quickly we adapt to difficult circumstances; even a situation that seems unbearable at first becomes part of a new normal ( Read more... )

Life is not good right now but I'm not inclined to go into a lot of detail.  I just wanted to write about cosmic connections and how the universe will sometimes thump you on the head with what you need when you don't know you need it.  Lately my only escape from a brutal reality has been Doctor Who and I'm completely infatuated with Peter Capaldi ( Read more... )

Honestly, there's not much happening in my world.  I'm continuing to slowly improve.  My horrendous tests are scheduled for the last part of August and until then, I'm avoiding all things medical unless I'm carted into the emergency department feet first.   I was feeling so well yesterday I even thought I'd take care of a few errands but decided to ( Read more... )

Now that I'm back in the habit of checking and posting here again, it's hard to give it up even when there is little of importance to share.  My life since I last posted ( Read more... )

Our weather is absolutely gorgeous right now with temperatures in the low 70s.  Normally by this time of year if we step outside our hair bursts into flame and our faces melt off so it's a welcome break.  Since POTS is exacerbated by heat, I actually felt well enough today to run a short errand with Zack.  I needed vital things for the home like ( Read more... )
