    Update Du Month

    I was so busy “posting every day for a month” that I need a day to catch up and update you on old news: Cysts I find out tomorrow what the next step is for the PancreaCyst. Mom, however, woke up Wednesday with a cyst swinging off her elbow, much like this: …except Mom’s arms…

  • UPDATED: Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

    I think that the last semester of getting a degree in meteorology should include experiencing an ice storm, a hurricane, a tornado, an earthquake, and a wildfire. The Weather Channel employs people who have evidently never experienced an ice storm. If you listen to them, there is this very moment an ice storm closing down…

    Here is what happens when you decide early not to throw a yearly tea party. The week the party would have been: 1. You attend the company Christmas party and enjoy it. 2. You attend the Yearly Company Lunch and enjoy it. 3. You attend Friend #1 Catherine the Red’s birthday party and enjoy it…

    In Which Montana Breaks Our Heart

    If I go to Google Analytics, I see a map that displays my visitors by country and state. The darker the green, the more visits from that state. So I have to say: Where’s the love, Montana? Google Analytics says you are giving me the cold shoulder.

  • In Which We Have Hope for a Miraculous Recovery

    I’ve been feeling a little under the weather MS-wise since I went off the Copaxone. It isn’t anything serious. When asked by the neurologist, I reported I felt like I was wearing a tight pair of knee socks all the time. Oh, and I had a Nerf football under my right ribcage. I’ve felt the…

  • Senior Citizen Skip Day

    The title? Technically, there’s no post for 12/02/07. So that blows NaBloPoYear. Damnit. But, still I had to tell you about the Incident Over the Basement Stairs. I am a great believer in gravity. This is why everything that needs to go into the basement is tossed over the ledge at one end of the…
