Wow … almost a month of no new posts (though I have been migrating old posts from my Blogit account, so you’ll see some really old stuff back in the archives, as well as my new “Inspirations” page). Lost my groove back there somewhere, and haven’t the time to go back and try to find […]

I want to add a bit more to my post from yesterday about my experience with doctors. Please understand, I know that there are good, conscientious, respectful doctors out there. My brother is married to one. My headache specialist, chiropractor, and dentist are three more. My new internist, though her wait times are terrible, is […]

Okay, so … I posted yesterday that having to go to a doctor about my left wrist is the one factor that outweighs all others in determining whether I actually seek treatment or not. And maybe that sounds silly. I can understand that. Our society thinks highly of doctors, and seeks their counsel for practically […]

I think I have finally figured out what is wrong with my left wrist. I mentioned in a couple of previous posts that I have a long-standing injury that periodically flares up and gives me merry hell for a few days or weeks, and then subsides. I thought it was a sprain from a fall I […]

The massive workload continues. I’m not really complaining. Honest. I don’t like to be bored, and I don’t mind either my office work or my household work. I’m just feeling a bit … overwhelmed … lately. In the past, I would have hired out some of the stuff on the to-do list. But the budget […]

Things are busy in our household right now. Sometimes, too busy. My older son is taking confirmation classes, which means that, headache or no headache, I have to get us to church by 0930 on Sunday mornings from now until the end of May. It’s a cross I’m willing to bear, if it helps bring […]

If some scientist somewhere could come up with a way to alter the stream of time, I would be so very grateful. I have a boatload and a half of projects that need attention, and there’s nowhere near enough time to address them all. Among the pile of things to do… I’m discontinuing my blogs […]

Back in December, I wrote about my talent of getting injured in the most ridiculous ways — while engaged in perfectly innocuous, normally safe activities. Well, the stupid talent has struck again: I fell last night and hurt my left hand badly. I had come home from eating dinner at Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana, and […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about crosses lately. I daresay that sounds a strange topic of thought — it’s C.S. Lewis’s fault. Between Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters, I’m getting a lot of input about what Jesus meant when He said that each of His followers must “deny himself, take up his cross daily, […]

I had actually intended to post about just the Law of Undulation today, as I have been listening to C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters over the last few days, and his concepts of the Law of Undulation and of humankind as a hybrid, amphibian creature subject to that law have been occupying my thoughts greatly. But […]
