I’ve been writing again. In fact, my new streak is at 8 days and counting. It feels good to write again, like I’ve found the right thing that I need to be doing. I used to wish I was one of those authors who could have two or more projects going at once, because …

(health/food) First farmer’s market of the season!
Posted on May 9, 2013
It rained today, but Argus and I braved the rain with Mom and Dad to hit the Exeter Farmer’s Market to get the first fruits (well, okay, veggies) of the season. I love farmer’s markets – it seems more expensive, but the food is so fresh, so local, and so good. We came home …
(writing/personal) The doctors’ appointments are done.
Posted on May 8, 2013
I’ve seen the last one today, and gotten the okay for my treatment plan. Now, it’s just a matter of time, and healing. Healing in more than just sleeping and eating right. Healing in accepting that I can’t do everything. That I’m not 22 years old and invincible. That I can live with no …
(personal) One week post-hospital
Posted on May 7, 2013
I’ve been out of the hospital for one week today, and in that time, I’ve discovered several things about myself: 1. I am not a good patient. Patient comes from “patience” and I have none. Less than none. I want to be better and back to work yesterday. 2. I have no stamina. At all. …
(life/personal/illness) Living with a chronic disease
Posted on May 2, 2013
For those who may not have heard, I went into the hospital Friday night and stayed there until Tuesday night. I have Crohn’s Disease, and although most of the time I have it very well controlled, even I can get flares. And this was a major one. I haven’t had a flare this bad …
(personal/update/writing) I really don’t do this blogging thing well, do I?
Posted on April 21, 2013
I’m trying, I really am. I need to get myself on a schedule again, where I settle in to write before work, so it’s done. I also need to start working on more blog posts. I just feel like I don’t know quite what to say, so blogging feels – I dunno. Self-aggrandizing. Ah well, …
(personal) Only 1 blister! Score!
Posted on April 7, 2013
Yesterday was the day I ran my first solo 5k. I did run about half of it – walked the other half, but that is fine. My time was 1.05.56 – better than the last race (I think we were at 1.30 or something), and I was able to run across the finish line. More …
(personal) Musings on birthdays and life
Posted on April 1, 2013
It’s my birthday today. Today is the last time I will celebrate a birthday in my 30s – next year is the big 4-0. I was talking to my new doctor on Thursday and you know, I don’t FEEL like I’m staring 40 in the face. I don’t even feel 30. I look at myself, …
