I hate Chistmas, kinda
Tis the season I start crying: wha wha wha wha wha. wha wha wha snort.
On the plus side, there is Almond Roca everywhere. Also the smell of pine. And hot lights.
The problem is, i really really really DO buy into the whole seasonal delusion that something magical and beautiful is supposed to happen. And [...]

When it rains….
someone horks.
Ok, technically, that’s not how that goes; except this week, it is.
Because I am a person who avoids vomit and/or vomiting with all the will I have at my disposal.
And speaking of having at my disposal, when I got home from the ER where they gave me Vicodin on an empty stomach, that’s exactly [...]

Crashing Sucks.
I’m fine. My car is munched. It was my fault. Stupid intersection at 14th and West Burnside. As additional punishment, I have to drive a Focus until my repairs are complete.
Splitting headache.
Poop.

Sometimes
it is naught but the nuance of language that stands between me and the brink.I am chased and chasing words and implications; distinctions so fine as to be illusory, when this chimera is the best comfort to be hoped for.
and yet, i am comforted, by these faint and futile particularities. by the refusals transmuted [...]

The patients in my clinic
Are extra-strength hilarious.
A little old lady I was testing this morning told me “You look like one of those ladies on tv. You know, the ones who sell things?” I can honestly say no one has ever compared me to a QVC lady before, but I think it was about damn time.
Then, just now, I [...]

Ovaries: Where can I relinquish mine?
I mean, they came in handy when I was trying to do that whole “reproductive” thing, but those days are behind me now, and frankly, apart from keeping the facial hair at bay, I can see no further use for mine.
They do however cause considerable annoyance to me at regular intervals. The ups-and-downs of life [...]

If you are reaching for YOUR laptop rather than mine in this situation…
I think it’s best if we just stay “friends”

One Misty Moisty Morning…
When cloudy was the weather…
I broke out my woolen socks this morning. I’m wearing a turtleneck and hiking boots. It is officially lumpy wardrobe weather. On the plus side this also means I can wear my hideous and hugetastic harvest-gold corduroy winter coat complete with woolen plaid lining and a sash. I got it [...]

I heart my new job!!!
Which is, all things considered, a pleasant surprise…
I mean, I knew it would be good for me in a variety of ways, but so far, I actually also like it! The people are fun, the office is nice, the work is interesting but not overwhelming, and its ridiculously convenient to everything; bank, grocery store, post [...]

Life in 3-D
Well, o.k. technically, I still don’t have depth perception; but that’s all about to change…
I had my first round of Vision Therapy last Friday. It was really exciting, and Dr. Nancy had very encouraging things to say about my prospects, but oy vey with the headache!
Basically it all amounts to lots of eye exercises and [...]
