I am happy to report that with each passing year, the Holiday season becomes easier for me to bear. This morning I awoke to a light dusting of snow. We would all enjoy more snow if it has to be this cold.

I have trauma associated with xmas that will not go away. But at least I can bear it these days and even find something fun about it because the ( Read more... )

Yessiree, they arrived via UPS yesterday. They better hold up, because they cost a ridiculous amount of money for a bunch of plastic ponies. Those and a couple more items left to wrap. I don't even honestly know what I got people. Just a whole lot of stuff.

Seth and I were in coven together and we lived together as roommates for a year. We have been pretty good friends over the years, but ( Read more... )

I am feeling some better this week. Saw the physical therapist on Tuesday and she thinks I'm doing better. She saw no evidence of "crystals" in my inner ear ( Read more... )

So, somehow out of all that distress about trying to get the HMO to let me go to specialists, I managed to get into the Wisconsin Sleep Clinic today. I actually liked the guy I saw (MD, PhD). The old biddie I used to see there was grumpy and shaming. I guess she moved somewhere warmer. Funny--I thought she was from the lower regions of hell and I ( Read more... )

Here I am with my favorite dog sitting on the couch (otherwise known as Pluto's bed).

First, I report on the vegan cheese and chocolate party. I baked a vegan chocolate cake from a recipe in the Moosewood Book of Desserts. It was kind of fun: you mix all the ingredients right in the pan and vinegar and baking soda is what made it rise.

So I took the ( Read more... )
