Living Well Is The Best Revenge

It’s 1:34PM on a Tuesday afternoon and I’m sitting in pink striped pajama pants and a purple tank top on the couch in the middle of the day.  Why am I not at work?  Because I can’t stop having what feels like (what I only can assume are) labor pains and nausea.  I’m nursing a [...]

I’m home alone tonight while Fred and G are in Dayton, OH for a martial arts tournament tomorrow.  I am recovering (super swollen now that my drains are out – my tummy is puffy and tight in all the WRONG spots.  I can’t wait for the swelling to figure out that this liquid NEEDS to [...]

I hopefully get my drains out tomorrow!  YES!  I am so sick of these damn things, although – I’m very, very scared to get those suckers pulled out of my skin…  AND, the stitches in my belly button – OMG! 

Day 12 of recovery and am feeling more and more human. Look wrinkly, swollen and chopped up, but am not as sore. I can’t wait to get these drains out on Tuesday. And man, am I itchy!

Salmon with braised tomatoes, roasted potatoes and beets
Braised leeks and mushrooms over rice
Goat cheese brownies [...]

And my “writing in electronic spaces” class is discussing copyright and “remixing”…  A few thoughts:

Hi there folks – writing to you today from 10,000 ft above TX…  Or at least I think I’m still over Texas.  I took off from Houston Hobby airport about 15 minutes ago headed East toward home sweet home…  And I guess I could be somewhere over some other mid-western state at this point, but [...]

After over a year and a half of painstaking growing….  I simply couldn’t take it anymore… I broke down today and got my hair cut.  She cut off over 9 inches from the back of my head.  Here’s the before and after:
Anyhow, the first picture was taken about 3 months ago so it was a [...]
