Says Me

Books

2008-07-06T16:38:27Z

I've read a bucket load of books whose titles I've forgotten to track here. I wish the library had an "already read" view of my account. Last night I finished The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Loved it. Highly recommend it. Before that I finishe...

Life is good, but not fair

2008-07-05T00:28:18Z

Yesterday my Aunt Patsy, mom's only sister, learned she is in Stage 3 Kidney Failure. She's two "points" away from Stage 4. Stage 5 is dialysis. Then one of two things happens. You get a kidney transplant or you die.

But I'm alive

2008-07-04T15:01:05Z

These past few weeks I've been told by different people, "Man, you're having a year." As in, not a good year. And I think, Really? Thing is, I've had a "year" or two in my past. Painful, debilitating years. I know what a "not good year" can feel...

Upromise

2008-07-04T14:45:51Z

My niece has twice sent me an invite to join Upromise. I don't know why this offends me, but it does. Perhaps if it didn't seem like such a chore for her to answer an email. Or that she reached this way once in a while with something other than th...

Not anxiety

2008-07-03T04:44:35Z

I went to see my old therapist yesterday. The one who helped me through to the other side of depression. I made the appointment at the suggestion of my primary doctor since she initially thought the heart stuff might be anxiety related. She'd sinc...

I got promoted!

2008-07-02T01:08:26Z

At work to a VP. These really are more decorative titles than anything else, but it did come with a little raise and I'll always take one of those!

Yes, I lied.

To my mom when I talked about how many PVCs I was feeling. I told her I thought maybe six an hour. I knew that was low, but I also knew I couldn't keep count. When I went to see my doctor today about a different beta blocker, I asked about the Ho...

I refuse to believe it is menopause

2008-06-24T22:55:11Z

So the beta blocker stopped the PVCs within one or two days. Then it knocked me on my ass. I have been so tired. Like, lay my head down and I'm asleep tired. No, doesn't really matter if I am in a public place. Or work. Oh, and pardon me, but it's...

I am a Vegetarian

2008-06-16T01:20:13Z

One year ago today I took my last bite of a hamburger. One year later I can say with conviction, I am a vegetarian. Seafood was really the only thing I craved. Once my doctor encouraged me to eat fish for my heart, I jumped right in. Maybe a hal...
