2023: My Comeback <3

One of the most predictable (semi-cliché?  Broken record?) themes on this blog is a year-end post, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Or, if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is? My companion and I are gearing up to go out of town at the butt-crack of dark tomorrow, so I’m writing … More 2023: My Comeback ❤

Project: Health Overhaul (Operation Queen Piss), 6.5 years in

Tomorrow marks exactly 6.5 years, to the day, since I began a health overhaul of sorts.  Aptly nicknamed “Operation Queen Piss”, an inside joke between a dear friend Flojo and myself.  (I haven’t seen her on the interwebz in years, I’m wistful to say, though.) I’ve been through journeys like this before; this was just … More Project: Health Overhaul (Operation Queen Piss), 6.5 years in

A decade (and more) in the life of a wheat germaphobe

  So, I’m thinking more Classic Kitty.  And (per usual) I’m feeling helpful 😉 Some of y’all may know that I’m coming up on 14 years in the gluten-free books.  I’m gluten-free by necessity for life, because I have Celiac Disease’s evil twin that mimics MS. Good times lol. Since 2010, and probably before that, … More A decade (and more) in the life of a wheat germaphobe

Uncomfortably numb

I’m not sure if this is a Mystery Solved or not, because the truth is, I’m just beginning.  Most physical healing is hindsight; you’re experiencing a symptom and you’re not sure if the root cause is This or That, so you try a remedy for This (and if that doesn’t work, try a remedy for … More Uncomfortably numb

Plant Parenthood

I mentioned sprouts in my most recent post.  How they’ve been not only fun to grow, but also very therapeutic and uplifting and empowering for me. So, I thought I’d share! Sprouts are incredibly nutrient-dense.  They go well in salads, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, and even taste yummy by themselves!  They come in a variety of … More Plant Parenthood

‘I’ll be at V’s getting drunk, pretending I did not just order a hit on a relative’

Straight out of “Shameless”, which is fun to binge-watch on Netflix (what isn’t?  Lol), for those of y’all who might be living under my kind of rock. I almost missed the “Shameless” boat entirely, had it not been for Netflix’s algorithm suggestion using a thumbnail pic that featured a wooden fence, with, in sloppy painting: … More ‘I’ll be at V’s getting drunk, pretending I did not just order a hit on a relative’

PSA: How I recovered my COVID-related loss of taste and smell

Hi Kids!  I’m feeling extremely grateful these days.  And this is something I definitely feel like sharing.  Here goes… A couple weeks ago, I contracted coronavirus (COVID), which means I’d actually picked it up about 4-5 days before, around New Year’s Eve while vaping on my then-unknowingly-infected friend’s vape mod, but that’s another matter lol. … More PSA: How I recovered my COVID-related loss of taste and smell

Tragic…yet yummy

Yes, this is another Coronavirus post in your blogroll.  (Sorry about that…)  And I’m not trying to be insensitive, I’m just trying to keep it light.  Because even for hilariously staunch introverts like me, sometimes the cabin fever reaches delirium proportions.  And sometimes the choice between laughing and crying becomes a flip-a-coin scenario. I fully … More Tragic…yet yummy
