We should stop thinking about the dentist; but the only thing harder than getting one person to stop thinking about something is getting nine people in a room to stop talking about it; because all it takes is one person to think of something horrific and then the entire room is in a panic again.

I often refer to our household as “organized chaos” but there are many times that my head-space is also characterized that way, especially if there’s upheaval going on or if I’m getting sick. For the past few nights I’ve been having difficulty sleeping. There’s been strange nightmares involving tall creepy creatures with metal fingers pointing [...]

I didn’t realize it had been five days since I updated; but then it’s been a bit of a crazy weekend. We’ve had people staying over and there’s been a lot of things going on internally which I’ll talk about on here once they’re stabilized a bit more. I’ve rambled about it on livejournal. Well, [...]

It’s been a less than fun day in the house. I’ve been trying to get some work done all day but unfortunately I’ve been impeded by my own body. This is not a normal health issue, or should I say at least not one that I generally deal with from day to day. It’s not [...]

I never truly thought I’d be writing those words despite the fact that hypothyroidism runs in my family, my Gran and Great-Gran both have/had it, but it’s that old “it’ll never get me!” chestnut. However it apparently has. My thyroid levels from last week indicate a 5.08 TSH, when normal range is considered to be [...]

There’ve been a lot of birth announcements in our area recently. My SIL and BIL had their baby William-Thor at the end of May. His birthday is exactly one month and one day after the munchkin’s but four years apart. Then a few days ago Kore’s sister had her long-awaited little boy Charlie. Apparently some [...]

As anyone on Facebook and livejournal knows we’ve had a shake-up again as far as our inter-connectivity goes. Kiddy came back. I’m always reluctant to say “came back” because it implies that she was gone completely, but in reality, she was just sort of “sulking” in back for a while, contributing to discussions every once [...]

I had the psych today, an appt that was postponed from earlier in the month. I like the psych well enough, but he’s only at the local office once a week SO if I have to cancel an appt for some reason, like this last one was because I had no one to babysit the [...]

We actually started Kiddy’s bio four days ago but it’s taken until now to finish because we’ve been so slow with things. The flares are finally starting to ease up thanks in major part to the chiropractor appointment that we had yesterday and also stabilizing thanks to being back on our medication. It turned out [...]

It’s been an unintentional lazy day. I had intentions of getting up and working on the new room’s wall a bit more and then doing other things; but this morning I woke up with a major case of the flares, so most of my morning has been spent curled up under a warm computer on [...]
