Life: A Study in Bullet Points

Update in Bullet Points and No Particular Order: Work/Life balance: I don’t have one currently. I’ve spent the last two weeks working some serious OT in hopes of getting caught up on things. Too much OT, so I’m scaling back. I have a dog who misses me, a wife who misses me, and cats who…

Am Writing?

I chatted with a friend about writing a few weeks ago. Mostly their writing. Coffee and Cat Hair — A Writing Meditation I want to say they’re crowding me in, but the only sense of urgency I pick up is coming from within me, not from those around me. Well, fuck. Fuck. I want to…

More brain-dump.

Current worries include: Health shit. There's some snafu going on with getting us scheduled in with a new doctor and getting refills on various Rxs. I'll be problem solving once they open, as the snafu has only just today become apparent. It will be fine in the sense that none of our medications are necessary…

Brain Dump; or: A Love Letter to Myself

I really don’t know what to call this. I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve sat down to just write out my thoughts, reflections, feelings. And, it has been. I’m not going to try to write this any sort of coherent order; instead I’m going to get it all out. So maybe we can…

So, Neech died.

Neech died. This isn’t Ode to Neech — that’s coming, really, but I want to get pictures to go along with it, and looking at the pictures right now is that sort of painful that I just can’t bare to share yet. I’m here asking for help in offsetting the cost of the emergency vet…

Coffee and Cat Hair: Devotional Stories

I’m having a moment, trapped in my body. I curl my hand around the coffee mug, and the heat of it holds me fast to my body, to the here, and the now, and the physical. Small wonder: I’m coming out of a two day long migraine attack and I am achingly aware of my…

Did somebody say migraines?

So, to catch me up because I don't know that I've written this down yet: Got hit with a pretty bad one on the 21st, which lasted 2 days, though day 2 was a lot more tolerable. Had a break in the pain for part of the 23rd, but woke up with a wretched attack…

Migraine Update

Yesterday was my first follow up appointment and we discussed options going forward. There was a special sort of fun in being in a migraine attack unmedicated at the appointment. What I’ve learned from that one is: The period migraine does not give a fuck about proactive triptan doses.The period migraine comes only with a…

Morning thoughts, in bullet point.

* In astericks because I have no idea how to do bullet points in the new editor. * Pulled out Poseidon on My Mind to start working on last night. Made it one row, then dropped a bunch of stitches off the needle, including the lace set up, and promptly fucked it up trying to…
