Remember my afternoon in the ER six weeks ago? Remember how I’d mentioned that my physician wanted me to take a follow up exam? That happened Friday. Six weeks later. I should complain, but I won’t because I know that I’m not the only person on earth with problems. I’m fortunate in the sense that…
Looking Forward
Recently, I was talking with my sister about who-knows-what. At some point, she asked me why I did something, and I immediately launched into what was to be a lengthy discussion – a history, if you will – of why I had a certain viewpoint. I went back to the beginning, describing the scene, the…
Butting In
I awoke this morning to a rather hostile text. You see, three weeks ago, I began following a blogger (whom I won’t identify). I have no clue how our paths intersected, but I know that what caught my attention were the photographs she posted on her page. I tend to like moody or emotionally charged…
Slow News Day
It’s been two weeks, and surprisingly . . . I still don’t have much to say. That’s not to say that things haven’t been happening to me. I’m still a bit peeved about that eight-hour ER visit, and the fact that I’ll have to wait another two weeks to take an examination that my physician…
Midsummer Thoughts
It’s been a month since my last post, and while I hate these long breaks, I have to confess that it wasn’t entirely my fault. You see, I started new posts – 13 of them, to be exact – and each one was shelved because it was just too hot to sit down and write. …
Father’s Day
Daddy Furious died several years ago – something that I’m pretty sure that I’ve mentioned once or twice on this blog. As a result, and the fact that I am not a parent myself, I tend not to think too much about Father’s Day. Typically, it’s not until a week or two later after it’s…
It’s a Mystery . . .
I awoke this morning at 5:30 am. This, after having turned off my room’s light at midnight, and having been awaken twice during the interim. Translation: Less than five hours of sleep. Yay, me. I’ve been nodding off this morning, but really can’t afford to take a nap. I’ve got things to do, but that’s…
A Few Updates . . . and a Question
Hello, World! It’s been nearly a month since my last post, and I thought I was beyond that sort of procrastination, but it seems that I’m not. Then again, it’d be different if I had some actual news to report, but I don’t. With the conclusion of the semester and the fun that follows (spoiler:…
Into the Beast
I finally made the trip to IKEA. Yep, after years of wanting to go, I finally did it, and I’m still trying to process what I saw. You could say that this was like Dante’s Inferno, in the sense that what should have been a simple trip turned into something more complex and life-altering. …
Yet Another ‘New’ Normal
Alas, the greasy burger did not happen. While I am saddened by this sudden development, I’m certain that my frail arteries are celebrating. Life can be so unfair. I’ve been having sensitivity issues in the area of my mouth. At first, I thought it could be tied to the various headaches that I’d been having…
Of Dentists and Burgers
I’m feeling a lot – A LOT – better than I had been, at least from a mental health perspective. Physically, things have hit a plateau, and I don’t know what’s going on. But then, I wouldn’t be me if I did. It appears that the conclusion of my dental issues is in the distant…
