I didn't wear a jacket today! This is a huge thing for me as I am always always cold. My car doesn't even have A/C and I don't miss it even in the summer. I actually wore a wool scarf most days last summer because the A/C at work was so damn cold. Today was really sunny, still a little chilly, but I took a teeny tiny step of boldness in leaving my ( Read more... )

Medical appointments are like the ticking, whirring clock of my life. Everything revolves around my appointments. Which hospital, which doctor, what therapist, what group... those are the first things that get inked into my calendar. Everything else must fit between those gaps. Sometimes I get sick of spending all this time being poked and prodded ( Read more... )

My stomach is twisting itself in knots. I have a mediation in 4 hours with a family justice counsellor and my ex regarding child support and special expense payments for Zach. Basically, he hasn't paid me anything since September 2009, not a single penny. This step of going to a counsellor is in order to avoid going to court. If we can't "mediate" ( Read more... )

I took Seroquil (anti-anxiety/sleeping pill) for the first time last night at 8PM. It knocked me right out. I woke up this morning to my alarm at 7AM after 11 hours of sleep! My side lamp was still on and I had a book in my hand so I must have just fallen asleep so quickly I didn't get a chance to turn the light off or close my book. It was a ( Read more... )

I truly feel like a freak now. I have a prescription for compression stockings. Compression stockings. I’m in my 20's!!! But oh god, edema is back so badly now and my shoe choices just dwindled as a result of it. There are only so many shoes you can wear with puffy feet! Boo :( However, despite the discomfort and ugliness of it all, it gives me ( Read more... )

Today is my son's very first soccer class! It's at our local community centre for boys aged 3-5. Zach doesn't turn 3 until February 24th but I managed to get special permission for him to join. I guess that's ONE of the perks of working for the city ( Read more... )
