Vagueblogging

Yesterday afternoon, I had an unexpected conversation about an unexpected topic that pretty much tanked my day and is doing a bit of a number on me today as well. The details are not something that I wish to repeat so this one will remain a mystery, sorry to say. Just know that encouraging words… Read More Vagueblogging

The Most Amazing Sunday

I had the most amazing Sunday yesterday. It started out not too well. We got an email at 8:15 am announcing that, due to a ruptured water main, they had shut off the water to the entire complex. So my wife and I spent the morning debating whether we were going to need to go… Read More The Most Amazing Sunday

An Unwelcome Development

This morning I awoke, had to have help getting dressed, and immediately sat on the couch with heating pads on my lower back and across my shoulders. The pain in my back eventually faded to the point of tolerance, but the pain in my shoulders and neck remains. I’m used to pain in my left… Read More An Unwelcome Development

The Tale of Darth Babar

Yesterday I wrote about how I’ve started the ball rolling towards a sleep study. This will be my third one. My first one said that I had sleep apnea but that I had averaged six times an hour where I stopped breathing – not a particularly severe case, but one that merited a CPAP machine.… Read More The Tale of Darth Babar

Dichotomy

I haven’t written in almost a week because I’m not sure what to write about. My lethargy has finally reached the breaking point. I had an appointment with my psych med manager that I’ve now had to postpone twice because I was just too tired to get behind the wheel. I’ve called my general practitioner’s… Read More Dichotomy

One Of Us! One Of Us!

I don’t get this Pokémon Go thing. It’s been out a week, and folks have been going absolutely bonkers over this game. I’ve heard a couple of negative stories, like the threesome that was waiting at a PokéStop to rob people who were stopping by for supplies, or the girl that discovered a dead body… Read More One Of Us!

Long-Term Lethargy

My wife mentioned something to me the other day that I’ve been mulling over ever since. I mentioned that I was lethargic again and she pointed out that I’ve more or less been that way for about six months. I honestly had no idea that it’s been going on that long, but I’ve pretty much… Read More Long-Term Lethargy

Scares and Streaks

Shortly after four this morning, my wife and I were awakened by the tell-tale sound of the smoke detector going off. It sounded three times – and then quit. We both thoroughly checked out the apartment, there was no smoke or reason for it to go off. It didn’t chirp like a detector would if… Read More Scares and Streaks

Confessing a Weakness

I love music. My earliest memory is of me standing in the middle of the bench seat of the family station wagon singing the chorus to Don McLean’s “American Pie” at age two. I started piano when I was 7, drums when I was 8, had a failed experiment as a saxophonist in sixth grade,… Read More Confessing a Weakness

Improvement, But At A Price

On Tuesday, I went to the doctor’s for my annual physical and quarterly bloodwork. I can’t report much to you, since the test results were given to me while I was driving (look at me getting behind the wheel!) and I was paying more attention to the road than numerical values. I do remember my… Read More Improvement, But At A Price
