Because Accountability. And motivation and stuff. (Don’t forget the “stuff”.) 😉 Writing these has actually become sort of a lifeline; I’ve been so lacking in motivation lately that it’s mind-boggling. I find myself sitting and staring, with a growing to-do list, but still at a loss for what to do. I’ve been spending a lot … More ‘You are here’ ~ My end-of-August report card
Hey, in an era in which everything is fair game for being converted into a verb, might as include the word “hurricane”, too. Because that’s what Texas did, much like our easterly neighbor 12 years ago. Except that they did it wrong, and we did it right. Don’t get me wrong, I love Louisiana with … More Here’s how to ‘hurricane’
Five years ago, at this moment, I was unconscious. I was nearing the midpoint of the process of having 8 pounds (just over 3.6 kg, the equivalent of 48.5 uteruses) of useless tissue removed from my abdomen–several huge fibroids the size of grapefruits and one very enlarged uterus (about 9 times the normal size), and … More Uterus-free, 5 years on
For obvious (and unfortunate) reasons, the office was quieter today, and I guess I’m feeling an introspective vibe coming on. Hell, it could also be my antihistamine (Benadryl) starting to nip around the periphery of my brain, kind of like the beginning of Monday’s solar eclipse. Either way, I think I’m about to get all … More Miscellaneous sampler platter of inner thoughts ~ 08-24-2017
We’ve done it. Twice. Now three times. Or rather, we’ve had to do it. Because to say “we’ve done it” sounds crass. It leaves out an important part of the story. It makes us sound like ogres, when really, the opposite is true. I’m sitting outside, on one of the shady spots, secluded and out … More Letting go of an employee can be HARD
OK, we’re now here on the other side of the US 2017 Solar Eclipse that cut a swath of midday twilight across the country. I’m reminded of the line(s)/concept in the movie “Ladyhawke” when the drunk monk said that an otherwise lifelong curse could be broken during “a night without a day and a day … More #SolarEclipse2017 ~ an indirect experience off the beaten path of totality
The coming total solar eclipse in the US today is probably very well-known to most Americans. Yep, it’s today. A few cable TV channels started “pre-gaming” last night, complete with a little countdown timer thingy. They ran some “pre-eclipse specials”, discussing some of the coming live coverage, issuing a few cautions, and whatnot. As usual, … More Total eclipse of the brain…
(Prologue: This post isn’t a “regular” blog post (although you’re more than welcome to read it and interact with it, of course!). It’s meant to serve as a profile User Info for an excellent-but-underground filesharing system. Its logo is the blue bird in flight. Some of you will know what I mean; most people probably … More P2P user info ~ The 2017 edition
A friend remarked on Facebook that I’m “a walking medical experiment”. He’s not wrong. Lol. I’ve come to regard my body and brain as an X-file. There’s definitely something going on, and it’s definitely not in my head. I always seem to fit some kind of pattern, but then when one attempts to apply the … More Journeying in
I didn’t exactly intend for this “health status update” thing to become a tradition, but it sort of has, and I’ll roll with it. It seems to keep me on track, and who knows, it may also provide encouragement for others, maybe even people I don’t even know. In any case, it keeps me accountable, … More Mid-August health journey report card
