Oh Darling Ones, Today’s one of those bad stroke days. My tremor is horrendous and the right side of my face feels weirder than usual. It’s got the tingly, novocaine wearing off feeling. Maybe it’s more accurate to say it feels like the right side of my face fell asleep and now I got that tingly, pins & needles feeling like it’s waking up. It sucks and when this happened in February, I ran to the ER. I’m not running…
Hiya Darling Ones, It’s roughly 823º in Supergenius HQ at the moment and I am not a fan. Seriously, I’m breaking a sweat just typing, The oven’s been on for an hour and there’s nothing my house enjoys more than roasting me alive. Opening the windows is a no go. Old ass, nearly impossible windows + stroke imbalance + Floppy Scoop = hella stuffy in here. When I planned this week’s meals it was like 50º out and meatloaf sounded…
Dear Darling Ones, I am a liar. A lying liar with pants of fire. You know I’ve been saying, “if this is as recovered as I get, that’s not too shabby” or “I’m coming to terms with this being as recovered as a get?” Nope. This is trash and I’m quite cranky about it. My neurologist’s office was like that tiny apartment Bert & Ernie share on Sesame Street. She was Ernie. I was Bert. Dr. S was super pumped…
Dear Darling Ones, To be fair, my brain weasels aren’t working overtime. I have that XTC song stuck in my head and I inserted “weasels” in the lyrics. Have I mentioned lately that I’m kinda the Weird Al of my house, if Weird Al just inserted random words or his own name into songs? Actually by brain weasels are right on time. This week is a gauntlet of medial appointments: Primary Care, Echocardiogram, and Neurologist. This morning my damaged brain…
Hi Darling Ones, Last night I had a conversation with my friend, Em, about writing, writing habits, and routine. It was a great talk and we vowed in the new year to establish a routine and hold each other accountable. I’m excited, because I want to work on my writing and my penmanship. I’ve been woefully lax on the physical practice of writing. I’m easily frustrated with the tremor and my Floppy Scoop gets tired fast when gripping a pen….
Well, well, well, Darling Ones, Today is the 40th anniversary of “Let it Be” (The Replacements’ version), which contains the song “I Will Dare,” which happens to be the greatest side one, track one of all time. ALL TIME! If I were better at seeing into the future I’d have saved a few thoughts brought on by the 28th Anniversary of The ‘Mats’ ‘Let it Be’ for a more monumental anniversary. Even twelve years into my blogging career I couldn’t…
