wonderful finds

By me • Mar 25th, 2008 • Category: being sick, today's blog 365 post, work

The best thing about working in a library? A never ending supply of reading material whenever you go to lunch. Which you gotta have, because the librarians and staff where I work just aren’t socializers. The staff break room is a very odd place. Imagine if you took all the loners in high school, [...]



left leaning

(Sorry guys, but this post is contains information about things such as a uterus and ovaries, and not in a good way. You’re welcome to stick around, but consider yourself warned)
Yesterday was so ridiculous that I have two choices, sit here, silently weep, and internalize all the stress that I’m feeling or share all the [...]



ouch

By me • Feb 10th, 2008 • Category: being sick, today's blog 365 post

I know, as a member of Blog365, I’ve already flubbed this year up. Sure, earlier this week I did a little creative dating to cover one of the days I missed. And that’s allowable. I know there’s also a stipulation that lets people without an internet connection, for whatever reason, post when they get back. [...]



sticker shock

By me • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: being sick, today's blog 365 post

I spent the morning sitting next to a coughing, sneezing, and dripping young woman in the dingy 10′x10′ cell that is the Wayne State Student Health Center waiting room. Christmas lights were strung along the ceiling, posters graphically explaining every possible side effect of various sexually transmitted diseases covered the walls, and drug recovery [...]



just what the dr. ordered

What?????? The dentist told me I needed to relax more.
 

 
Okay, he probably was thinking more in terms of yoga and meditation practice and less in the caramel apple bread pudding and black walnut ice cream consumption, but I need to celebrate a little bit. After a week and a half of midterms and projects my [...]



too much information

By me • Oct 11th, 2007 • Category: being sick, weird stuff that happens to me

The internet can be a very very bad place, especially if you’re a hypochondriac.
Monday night I was sitting at my desk, studying for once, when I noticed a weird sensation in my mouth. A few weeks before I had gotten a flax seed caught in the gum of my front tooth, so I pulled it [...]



new cure for the common cold

By me • Sep 26th, 2007 • Category: being sick, knitting

If it’s cold and dreary out, and you’re still fighting a lingering chest cold, I swear that this will make you feel almost as good as a bowl of chicken noodle soup (even better if you hate chicken noodle soup as much as I do.)

make yourself a a nice hot cup of tea
change into an [...]



mismatched socks

By me • Apr 6th, 2007 • Category: being sick, weird stuff that happens to me

I always knew that one day I would be embarrassed by my laissez-faire attitude toward mating my socks. I operate on the principle that I have much better things to do with my time than to spend an afternoon every other week with my socks all laid out on the floor and my furniture while [...]
