Health Crash
I didn’t post this weekend for a very good reason. I came down with a seriously nasty case of the stomach flu. I haven’t had the flu in about 5-6 years, so when it hit me, it hit me hard. It also couldn’t have come at a worse time. This weekend my BFF T came…

My Health is not so Healthy
So, going back to my mysterious stress illness, I had a follow up appointment with my normal doc. And she has no idea what is wrong with me. Gastritis is such a hard thing to pin. It’s not ulcers. It’s not liver problems. It’s not acid-reflux. It’s not my gallbladder. Speaking of which, I got…

Pizzalicious
Have I ever fully expressed my love for Domino’s Pizza? Probably not. But I love the stuff, even when it doesn’t love me. I’m feeling lazy and somewhat ill, so I ordered in tonight.

Surprise! Your Foot Is Broken
Yup. 3 weeks ago I dropped a very heavy coffee table on my foot. Pain and really awesome bruising ensued (I even took photos!). My foot turned a delightful shade of purple, and I couldn’t touch it…not even to put an ice pack or cold cloth on. I thought nothing of it, and went on…

It’s also part o my series of thoughts on the environment and going green. The Case Against Bottled WaterThe article talks about people’s perceptions of tap water versus bottled…

Bitter Disappointment
Last night I had a coughing fit and my throat closed slightly.This morning I woke up to swollen lips and intensely itchy skin.I’m developing hives not only on my thighs and torso, but now my face, too. So what are all these symptoms caused by? Why an allergic reaction to the drug Minocin, of course.…
