Arm Update
So, my shoulder is better. I forgot to mention that yesterday- mostly because even as much as it hurt, it's still nothing compared to a cluster headache. I can move my left arm for the most part, but it gets a little sore still after too much activity. I'm back to doing my own hair, but I might still get Mark to flat iron it for me from time to ( Read more... ) -
Curing the Cluster
I'm not sure if y'all have heard of cluster headaches before. If not, you're lucky. I had never heard of them until I met Mark, who went through an episode of them about a month after we started dating. These things really shouldn't even be called headaches. "Ache" is entirely too mild a word to describe the blinding, debilitating onslaught of ( Read more... ) -
My Left Arm
I have a new and deep appreciation for all the things my left arm does.

Miles was a teenager with cancer, and had been featured on CNN quite a few months back. He had written a really touching entry and I was really impressed with his perspective, his acceptance of ( Read more... ) -
Ode to Novi
Mark and I have this one Chinese restaurant that we love to go to, Chin Chin 2. They have great food, but it's never crowded when we go, and we always have the same server. She's fabulous- her name is Novi and she hails from Indonesia. Spunky, funny, incredibly intelligent and multi-lingual. She already has her law degree from Indonesia, but ( Read more... ) -
Hmm...
Let me know if you'd like some of these awesome souvenirs from China!
In other news, it's August, my favorite month! I've got lots of things running through my mind... reiki, travel, career options with the Foreign Service, babies.... why do I want a baby so badly? I don't know! What is up with that? As far as I know, I'm pretty fertile...and ( Read more... )
