Room of the Rest

Can we just talk about Bathrooms for a minute please? I'm referring to the public variety.  I suppose they are more commonly referred to as the "Restroom".  The room of the rest is the popular place where the business gets tended.  Where contemplating, solving of world problems and great ideas are often pondered.  Even long …

Gluten Free for Fun?

Have you ever heard anyone say, "I hate bread?"  Uhm... No, not me either- not ever, at least no one from the south ever says that.  So, who would really go gluten free for fun?  Maybe there are a few who made the choice based on science and other research.  Obviously, it's a catchy phenomenon …

Confessions of a Chronic Illness Warrior

10. Yes, I'm tired of being sick. 9.  "Are you getting better?" Define better. 8.  I just don't feel good- no, I don't have a reason. 7.  If it requires putting on a bra- it's not happening. 6.  If Netflix knew- they'd charge me double. 5.  My brain wants to- my body refuses to cooperate. …

Post 7 months diagnosis

Well, how are ya? That is the most popular question I get.  It is truly measured on a day by day basis.  I find that I have less time to write when I feel good.  When I feel bad I have lots of sit down time and write the "oh woes me".  Which I really …

PTLS

I have a new diagnosis to add to my repertoire confounding aches and complaints. Who doesn’t need another classification?   I’m not whining so don’t read me that way at all.  I am consumed with reading info- the good, the bad, and everything in between. I do have to pace myself- information overload has triggered a …

The Blessing of IC

It's really hard for some to look through the half full glass of life and see a blessing in the midst of trials and tribulation.  Tribulation is just a big fancy word for trouble.  Who doesn't have trouble every now and again?   Your car won't crank or you have a flat tire.  Some days my …

A day in the life of an I C -er

Shopping Beast

  Who doesn’t love to go shopping now and again?  Granted what I might like to shop for you probably detest.  Hunny and Son are sporting goods kinda guys; loving all manner of things manly to feast on the eyes.  Son, is a bit more versatile, he doesn’t like shopping for clothes and groceries- but …
