  • Status report: After being given a glowing once over on my 3 month checkup, a couple things have come up. One, that I had terrible acidity this week, extra keep me up at night episodes, and the other, I fear my knee has ripped fully. Tbd, but need to get answers because I can’t bend… Read more

  • Status report: Not exercising as much as I need due to extenuating circumstances, been upping my caffeine, not eating great. The happy thoughts of the previous week: 1. Getting a little bit of perspective. I have been so out of sorts lately that I forgot about other people. Hearing from others and making sure I… Read more

  • Status report: BP monitor broke and I couldn’t get readings for 3 days, which coincided with a migraine that would not quit for 2. I must’ve had 4 coffees and 3 advils a day to try and address it, but the drugs and caffeine wouldn’t work. Recent theory, too much heat. My happy things: 1.… Read more

    Status report: Second booster kicked my 🍑 but it’s better than risking my third season of covid. Here are my reminders of the week about why we get up in the morning: 1.

  • Status report: ran out of mini cokes. Now have gone to sakto cokes. Woke up Friday night feeling like a limp noodle that got left in a wire basket in a ramen place over the weekend. Still not a hundred percent but feeling significantly better (but still on every legal remedy possible). Here are the… Read more

  • Status report: Hives, 5 out of 7 days. I’m going to need to restock antihistamines soon. Life is short moments of the week: 1. Getting to my favorite local market. Farmer’s market has always been solid. Super fresh veggies and seafood in reasonable prices. Which meant I spent more than usual on veggies and fresh… Read more

  • Status report: Little sleep = more migraines. But heart happy because of making time to get a life. Life is short moments of the week: 1. Enjoying something on trend. Ikea opened up late last year, and my mom and sister got to it before I did. They took me last week and I enjoyed… Read more

  • Status report: 3 days of migraines, 2 of insomnia. Trying to stick to better habits, but still cooking my liver. 1. Clearing my head.
