    Tuesday, April 29, 2008

    Today is a redhot pain day.  Lucky me.  I try, while at work, to practice deep breathing exercises and relaxation, without going into deep trance meditation... It's not working terribly well, but I keep trying and trying.  If this doesn't work, I always have twizzlers!
    So I keep poking around online, trying to stay awake.  I've also realized that I have this sick ob...

  • Not Expecting.

    Wednesday, April 30, 2008

    Today, I'm just going to ramble on about the idea of not expecting.  :D  I've learned, in the course of my disease, to not expect... from others or from myself.  Not expect that someone else should understand what I'm going through -- they haven't been through it, so how could they possibly know?  Not expect that I can do more than I'm able -- I'm not s...

    Friday, May 1, 2009 | A Rambling story

    In addition to my ongoing health issues, I've had ongoing family issues.  The family issues escalated to a crisis point during easter weekend.  It was at this time I had to make a decision - I couldn't continue to deal with the added daily stress of my family craziness while I was trying to take care of myself.  There was a HUGE fight that involved everyone and I decided to...
