That was kind of a bumpy week. It was honestly bumpier than I thought it would be. I’m doing okay now, and I’m looking forward to the weeks and months ahead, I think, with the sense that the biggest hurdles are behind me for now. I always say that it’s “for now” because such in…
I’m back in BC again as of yesterday. I have a lot of thoughts, a lot of emotions, and a lot of creative gumption that came out of the last week. It was as much of a rollercoaster as I thought it would be, with as many opportunities to laugh as there were to cry….
Small victories add up. I’ve been testing out different approaches to convincing myself to exercise, and something, at least, is working. I’m trying not to count calories or check my weight or worry about anything that would dissuade or distract me. Instead I’m just treating it a bit more like a kind of play, where…
Then again, maybe it’s the air quality that’s messing with my sleep and my sanity. The AQI isn’t that bad here according to Environment Canada, but when I wake up to thar particular goldenrod shade of yellow sunlight and a headache…. hm. We’ve dodged wildfire smoke for most of the summer so far, but we…
I’m not running off an extraordinarily great amount of sleep as I write this, which isn’t wonderful. I don’t know exactly what went sideways, but I think it was a few things, and so last night I just didn’t sleep. Somehow I hit midnight, and this overwhelming sense of incredible dread and depression came over…
Once again, it has been a hot, hot minute. Many things have occurred, but I’m going to try to keep this post brief just so that I can teach myself that maybe the journal doesn’t have to be so daunting. It doesn’t have to be massive paragraphs. It can just be a few words about…
So it’s kind of been a hot minute since the last update, once again. To be fair, spring is always a busy, busy time of year, full of deadlines and paperwork and things like taxes, and it tends to eat away at my attention span and raise my cortisol levels and generally make most tasks…
Okay, so coming back here quickly just to add that I may have been completely wildly wrong about Dandadan when I talked it up as some goofy, slapstick masterpiece of humour. Don’t get me wrong. It is. But that was also one hell of a sucker punch episode that we just watched tonight and I…
I began today thinking: “You find yourself at the bottom of a steep cliff in the Peter Griffin death pose. How do you proceed?” Basically I’ve been several flavours of ill over the last few days, from vertigo to migraines to sinus congestion to a misadventure with trying to eat healthy after two weeks of…
Having vertigo issues really costs in mental CPU power, as it turns out. I’ve been slightly dizzy every day since I got back from Vancouver, and while yesterday was probably the worst, today came with the added doozy of a headache that kind of put me horizontal when I got home. It also appears to…
