Yep, restarting the blog. I’m sorry I’ve let it slide, but I’ve found that there are some things that have to give, and this time, it was the blog. (And the housework, this past week. Seriously. I don’t even want to THINK about people coming over, because it’s that bad. I’m in CLEAN ALL THE …

(personal/writing/health) Today is the day.
Posted on June 17, 2013
Today is the day I go back to work full-time. So naturally, today is the day I wake up with a screaming headache. Of course. I have taken tylenol and I have both water and tea next to me. I’m hoping that takes care of it. I’m also dealing with a stuffed nose, so this …
(health/personal/writing) One week in!
Posted on June 6, 2013
Today is Day 7 of going completely gluten-free and mostly sugar-free. It’s been an interesting journey. Weighed in this morning at 277.8 lbs, so up a little, but that’s okay. It’s been hard, I won’t lie. Drank Coke on Saturday, had sushi with non-GF soy sauce on Tuesday, and an ice cream cone on …
(personal/health) Taking the day off – success!
Posted on June 2, 2013
Yesterday, I was not on the computer much. Hubby and I went with friends to my parents’ lake and spent the day eating good food, enjoying good company, and soaking in perfect lake water. It was AWESOME. Exactly what I needed. And what hubby needed too. Before that, my friends Carolyn and Beard …
(writing/to-do/health) Thoughts on the eve of a long weekend
Posted on May 22, 2013
So, I’ve been back to work on the Day Job for three half-days. Today, I’m exhausted (although I don’t know if it’s because of the two hours at the dentist today to repair a broken tooth or just low stamina), but I have the next FIVE days off, so I’ll be able to sleep in, …
(personal/writing/cooking) We made it back to work!
Posted on May 21, 2013
Started back at work yesterday (part-time, for the next two weeks) and am not falling over exhausted today. Counting that as a win! I go in today and tomorrow for 4 hours each, then am off until Tuesday, when we start again. I think the fact that I’m eating cleaner (we’ve adopted a Paleo …
(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 …
