Last week, I got an alert that a WordPress update had failed on this blog space. When I went to fix it, I was shocked to see that I hadn’t written anything in almost 3 years. The last life update was when The Mister and I moved 5 years ago, which is poetic since we …

Goodbye October
October is finally over. It’s been a whirlwind of activity and unexpected challenges, and I’m glad to have it behind us. The move is done except for unpacking boxes, and we’re determined to not let that linger too long. We’re taking our time to carefully choose the furniture and decor items we want in our …

A not-calm year so far
When I sat down to write my surgiversary update, I realized it had been over six months since my last post. I had planned at the first of the year to start posting updates at least weekly, if not more often. The best laid plans, and all that. Spoonie life makes it hard to juggle …

Another year gone
Many of us said 2015 was the worst year ever. Then came 2016 and that was horrible. 2017 was an absolute dumpster fire. We’re running out of ways to describe worse. 2018 wasn’t all bad for me personally. I landed an incredible job this year. I’m still married to the greatest guy ever, and my …

2018 Year of Renewal
So it’s a new year. I’m always struck how this arbitrary line in time is given so much importance. I mean, it makes sense. But then it doesn’t, really. Resolutions are made and rarely make it past the first week of the new year, but we still do it, year after year. Wipe the slate, …

Review of 2017
Well, it’s that time of year again. Time to look back and see how the year went, and try to decide what’s important for the upcoming year. 2017 has been a rough one, certainly. I think the country made a mistake with the election of #45, and I find him to be a complete embarrassment. …

Light at the end of the tunnel
And it doesn’t even look like it’s an oncoming train. I’m in the final countdown for #gradSchoolSucks — 3 weeks left. It’s hard to accept the fact that I’ll no longer be a student a month from now. Well, IF I get my paper done for my Capstone and I don’t flake on the rest …

Keepin’ on keepin’ on
It’s been a while since I posted. #gradSchoolSucks and all that. I have been struggling with a lot of stuff this month. The “on this day” feature of Facebook has made it clear that October is migraine month for me, and this month was no exception. In fact, my migraine monster decided to go for …

Level 10 Life Update
It’s been a little over a year since I started tracking my “Level 10 Life” and I thought it was time for an update. I think I’ve been improving my life in the last year, so it’s interesting to see it graphically represented. Companions – My goal this year was to cultivate closer relationships with …

Political musings
I haven’t as yet posted much with the Politics tag in this blog. There’s been so much going on in my life with #gradSchoolSucks and WLS and living with rheumatoid disease, that politics necessarily took a back seat. The political climate has certainly changed over the last six months, and I am finding myself getting …
