Dear suicidal people
I am not here to tell you that all your problems will look better in the morning, or after you've given yourself to God, or after a few drinks or a call to the suicide hotline or whatever else is out there that might help you change your mind and go on living. I don't know you. Maybe you have exhausted all your options and you have decided, after ( Read more... ) -
I don't know whether to be jealous or horrified
I have been watching the latest season of Biggest Loser: Couples on Hulu. I'm a few episodes behind; the other day I watched the episode where the contestants, 8 weeks into their stay at the ranch, get to go home for a two-week visit with their families and friends.
Now, some of them--like Rulon and maybe one of the other guys--have already lost ( Read more... ) -
Friday, and things are looking up!
Happy Friday! Happy almost Spring!
I'm so glad to be posting at a moment in time when I feel like things are starting to get a bit better. Seems like the only time I think about writing here is when my life is crumbling all around me and I am standing in a pile of rubble and whining piteously. That gets old, even for me.

Weary Weekend
There's a lesson to be learned here. Don't bitch and moan about how rotten your life is, because it's bound to get worse. Remember when I went on a rant about how much I hated my life and I wished I could get drunk and yadda yadda yadda? Well, please. Things are worse, and I am too tired and fed up and sick of myself and my husband to work up even ( Read more... ) -
Happy Valentine's Day
Well, I've eaten enough sugar-free Dove chocolates to feel sick, so it feels just like every other Valentine's Day so far! Luckily, it doesn't take too many sugar-free chocolates to make me feel sick, so that's a good thing.
This is my first sugar-free VD. Normally, I'd have eaten my weight in chocolate by now, washing it all down with a couple of ( Read more... ) -
I will be happier when...
- It's above 50 degrees every single damn day without fail;
- People stop asking me if it's okay if I eat this-that-or-the-other-thing;
- Rafe learns to stop biting me, walk better on the leash, and come when called;
- I get up an hour earlier to work out in the morning instead of hitting the snooze alarm ten times in a row;
- I get permission to telecommute;

Happy birthday, Floydie
Today is Floyd's 12th birthday. I'm so sad that he's not here to celebrate it.
It's turning into a depressing, stressful, weep-at-the-drop-of-a-hat kinda day. One of the files I was working on at work yesterday somehow got onto the library in a horrifyingly unfinished and basically blown-up state, and I have no idea why. Copyeditor is being VERY ( Read more... ) -
Wheee, but maybe not so much
Ever since I started taking the Neurontin for my feet, I have been feeling sleepier than normal during the day. I've played around a little with the times I take the med in the evening, but since it needs to work mainly during the night when I am asleep, I don't feel like Ihave a lot of wiggle room.
Anyway...
Today around noon, when my arse was ( Read more... ) -
This could have a weird effect on my next visit...
The other day (last Wednesday, to be precise) was a bad day for me. First, I had a horrible commute with major delays on the metro, forcing me to use precious personal leave because of tardiness.
Then, I went to my WLS support group and was thoroughly exasperated and disgusted and angered and depressed by people there who jabbered about their ( Read more... ) -
Good news
I got some good news from the endocrinologist's office today--my hemoglobin A1c is 6.2. The last time I had this test (in mid-June), it was 11.8. So, yay me!
That's really all I have right now.
