Another week of being alive! Huzzah! That opening makes it sound like this week’s blog post is going to be exploding with good news and joy. I’ll do my best. Lately, my neurological realities have been on my mind and I’m trying to feel really grateful for the time I have. That’s not meant to […]

Dead On My Feet 🦇😺 and I Hear the Four Horses Are Warming Up… Just in Case (Election 2020)
If you follow this little blog, you’ll know I coped with rather terrible medical news a few weeks ago by focusing on how this year I’d be hosting a Vampire’s Dinner Party on Halloween night. IT HAPPENED! This orphan finally used my parents’ Noritaki China dishware, glassware and silverware which years ago I salvaged from […]
It’s My Birthday and I’m in Space and Won’t Be Able to Make It This Year
My birthday is this week or… technically, it’s at the very beginning of next week. For the record, it’s 10-4… you know, like in the police code. In other words, “OKAY”. I was once in the back of a police car and they said “10-4” and I said, “That’s my birthday!” I love birthdays. And […]
Redundantly, What’s the Point?
I’m sure I’m not the only one who at times wonders: I just got home from private communion as I don’t attend the church services because, despite precautions taken by my church, it’s just indoors in a crowd and all this singing and talking and… I’m not someone who seeks out crowds to start with. […]
Security Bot, Ken, Having a Hard Time Like the Rest of Us
I think our security bot Ken is feeling insecure. He can join the club. Or maybe it’s just Monday again and, while reliable, its arrival doesn’t help morale. It’s especially weird because I don’t even have a “regular weekday work schedule” so I have no idea what my problem with this day is. Last week […]
Genetics: Gene, Gene, Gene, Gene… GOOSE!
Pour a glass of something strong because I’m inviting you to embark upon a potentially life-changing genetic adventure with me. Or don’t read this and drink your whiskey in peace. Either way, my GP referred me to a genetic counselor last winter after I received somewhat dodgy mammogram results but the geneticists never returned any […]
What David Saw
So we bought a haunted house in Madison, Wisconsin. A wise financial decision. Yet, throughout the four and a half years we lived there, I never saw anything. I heard things and I felt things but I never saw anything. At the same time, around the time we bought the house, my dad was about […]
Is This Chemical Or Am I Authentically Feeling This Calm/Honest
Meds. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 A few weeks ago I did a DIY, 72 hour EEG which revealed that I was experiencing an impressive number of seizures though I had no idea of this. But that could be just another seizure. My current neurologist believes that a lot of the actions I take are due to “seizures”. Not […]
Don’t Move Into a Haunted House
I’ve been told that epileptics are prone to paranormal activity but I’d say most people are fair game if you move into a place with black handprints up and down the basement wall a la Blair Witch. My husband, our mastiff rescue Hemingway and I moved to Pittsburgh last year to fail at starting a […]
The Moths Are Mobilizing
In addition to the armed people who are trying to intimidate? state governments into opening everything by gathering in protest crowds near state capitols… because… they don’t “believe in” the coronavirus, science, hard data, global news reporting, or how New York City officials are digging mass graves… the tenuous relationship between this apartment’s moths and […]
