So tomorrow I have my princess surgery. Princess because I once had a nice voice, turned into a frog, and now I hopefully will re-princessify. Obviously frog is a bit of a stretch…more like whispery fish. Fish don’t talk, but there are a definite shortage of metaphors that relate to this situation. It’s an interesting…
Today I was up really early…I gave myself an hour to leave the house. That is pretty amazing for me, because I am so NOT about losing sleep. I did try going to bed at 10, but the wups were pretty fidgety and ornery last night. Yay for voting! I have never voted in a…
A result of my last open heart surgery was unfortunately a little thing known as vocal chord paralysis. In general terms, my vocal chords would not close completely together (a normal fold closes thousands of times a second), and in turn, let an enormous amount of air through, which made my voice weak and almost…
What can happen in such a short, I mean long span of time is somewhat ambiguous, and difficult to speak about. Hmmm…so I spent New Year’s in Colorado with my birth mother, and E, as well as my brother, sister and her fiance. Snowshoeing, ice skating, not starving, and relaxing, and did I mention we…
Wow. So I had my party last night. A small gathering of people I had emailed to come out and play, because it was a big deal to me to celebrate what I hope is the first year without major incident. I spent the entire decade of my twenties being sick, getting surgeries and just…
It has always been very hard to me to condense my life’s experiences across the expanse of a few pages, to limit my goals, mile markers and those points of reference to just a splattering of words across some white pages. Granted I do know that there is organization involved, and skill involved in being…
Hmmm…it wasn’t too long ago that I was savoring and kissing the idea and reality of summer smack on the lips. These days it feels like Fall, a new crispness in the air, “beautiful” days describing this 60 or 70 degrees and something weather. I have enjoyed everything about my summer immensely, save for the…
You know, I have been trying to pinpoint what changes may or may not have occurred from these past medical adventures. And I realize that the main core of my metamorphises involves a general deep self realization about how I feel about situations. The main core of my issue involved the fact that I imagine…
Wow. I look back at my summer and I am not only impressed with my variety in incidents survived. But I am also feeling impressive. This might be due to all of the gushing, but things seem possible these days. I’m not sure if this whole medical miraculous stuff has finally affected me. Or if…
I have been having dreams lately about going back to work…I know it’s coming to that time again where I have to consider making cash money in preparation for my hopefully permanent early retirement (as in that life of luxury and a house). I am not sure how the discussions are going to go with…
