This time last year I was getting ready to jet off to England to visit friends in Leeds and spend a couple days in Edinburgh. My next bonafide vacation isn’t till June – waiting a year to take some real time off (you can’t include visiting family – well, I can’t since visiting family means [...]

caution: nausea inducing
Sooooo… Teh Smitten, at my pathetic urging, bought me this little toy for Easter. When you squeeze him he makes this adorable peeping noise. I have named him Pipi (he is French so the pronunciation is Pee-Pee). Pipi le Chick. Teh Smitten likes this name too since it sounds gross. [...]

Considering the fact that I keep getting more and more particular about cleanliness as I age, perhaps. Oh, not to mention the fact that I hate noise when I’m trying to sleep. Always have. I [...]

The doctor has prescribed a low-level dose of synthroid as it seems my thyroid levels are a bit low. While the note and prescription didn’t say what my levels are, it could explain a lot (anxiety, pulse, digestive problems, inability to lose weight, etc). I started taking the synthroid today, and hope it doesn’t make [...]

not funny ha-ha
Seven years of insomnia and a wicked pace of work has slowly been turning into anxiety. Do. Not. Want.
As related previously, the insomnia has gotten worse. What I haven’t told you is that my pulse rate has gone up and stayed up. During the work-week I am constantly on high-alert, nerve-wise. My blood pressure is [...]
