Head. hurts. so much. I didn’t quit caffeine cold turkey. I’ve been tapering it down over a week or so. Evidently this isn’t enough. I had a single can of diet coke on Monday morning, and that was the end of it. Tuesday morning, I woke up in agony, and it only got worse. Advil [...]

Productive

I feel ridiculously productive. I like that Nick goes to fight practice on Monday nights (the first rule is that you don’t talk about it) as I generally spend the evening trying to be productive. Tonight was an EXCELLENT example. I made a giant stir fry (and should have leftovers for a week), patched two [...]
Goodbye Caffeine, my old friend

As of now… I’m off caffeine. I’m going to kill it for a month or two and see if I get any decrease in the amount of headaches. No more coffee, no more caffeinated tea, no more diet coke, no chocolate… I’m even going to cut out T3′s when I DO get a headache. (Easy [...]
Is this what it’s like to have children?

I now understand an aspect of parenting I wasn’t expecting. So, Nick & I were getting a little frisky this morning. (I suppose if we DID have children, we wouldn’t be getting frisky in the livingroom on a Saturday morning to begin with, but still. Work with me here.) We’re just getting into it, and [...]

According to the Vancouver Sun, if you’re over 30, you’re too old for Fall Out Boy and shows at Thunderbird Stadium. Huh. I suppose since I’m sill under 30 for another 6 months, this shouldn’t twig me, but it does. I’m pretty sure I will continue to like Fall Out Boy (and other artists who [...]
Everything is micro

From microblogging to microlending… I finally signed up for Kiva and made my first loan, $25 to Hadiatou Lochina from Agoe, Togo. Mrs. Hadiatou Lochina is a resident of the Agoè Legbassito neighborhood. She is married to a gentleman who is a soldier. In order to help her husband support their family, she began a [...]
My dog is smarter than your honor roll student

Sometimes my dog impresses me greatly. Case Study One: Yesterday morning, we got up at the crack of 10am (hey, on a Saturday, that’s early) and headed out to Kits to observe one of my trainers group lessons. This was going to be a fairly difficult test for Justice and her on-leash reactivity… and to [...]

Since I started keeping my headache diary, I’ve had at least one headache every single day. This is extremely annoying.

My sinuses are full of sludge, my knee hurts, I have a headache, my nose hurts, and I don’t feel well… …but there’s nothing like a hug from my sweetheart to make all of that totally irrelevant. Am total sucker for that boy.

I have spring allergies. But this isn’t about that. This is about my knee. Stupid knee. It appears to have given notice and quit. I have very minor, but ongoing knee issues. They can generally be fixed by wearing a knee brace when I run or do crazy things like that. Last night, Nick & [...]
