I feel like I’m in limbo, and it’s really weighing on me. Fair warning: I try not to bitch and moan too much here, ’cause we all hear plenty of that elsewhere. I’m making an exception today since I’m so miserable.
Last week, I saw a new internist. The appointment went well, and I left feeling [...]

We’ve all heard how important vitamins are to our health. Well, I found out last week that part of the reason I have been feeling like such a tired, crabby, idiot is that my vitamin B 12 level has dropped much too low. When I found this out, I had my typical reaction: “Well, that [...]

Not to sound overly dramatic, but today was quite a mess. What’s up: Is the moon full? Are we in retrograde? I wish I knew why it was such a clusterf*ck of a day.
It started off with me getting a call from one of my clients about 10 minutes before my train arrived in the station. [...]

Phew….I made it. This has been a very tough week for me, and I’m glad to be officially entering the weekend now.
*Digression: my husband has just returned home and told me that during his routine doctor’s visit he was told that he had a mild case of “the flu” and prescribed Tamiflu. Great, this is just what I need to [...]

While getting a bit of work done in my hotel before heading to my meeting, I opened the paper and [...]

Winter: I’m putting you on notice. I’ve had it with this annoying and dangerous cold. I hate waking up and hearing how low the temperature is going to be today. I’m tired of dressing in so many layers and *still* feeling chilled and miserable. The dismal, low-light days are really getting me down.
Go away. We’ve [...]

Let’s review. Last week, temps were appallingly low. I recall one morning being 8F when I got up to let the chickens out at dawn, and that’s not with any wind chill factored in. The next day, the morning temp was 5F without the windchill. BRRRR!
Yesterday, we reached a high of 63F. Today, it was [...]

This is a holiday weekend, but I won’t have a lot of free time. I will spend much of the day Sunday doing fun things and at a barbeque, but the rest of the time will be packed with chores, including the extra day-and-a-half (this afternoon and Tuesday) that I’m taking off of work. There [...]
