• Surgery and a Birthday

  June 30, 2010

    Geez… October. I haven’t updated in over 9 months. So many things have happened, yet so much remains the same. I’m still sitting in my chair (a newer one now), with my computer, enjoying the quiet of my apartment. Bagheera still insists on sitting next to the computer ma...

• You know you’re from Houston when…

  October 25, 2009

      1.You must learn to pronounce the city name. It is "Ewe-stun", not "Huestun." Oh yea, it is pronounced "San Phil-a-pee," not "San Phil-eep" (San Felipe). 2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Houston has its own version of traffic...

• Cloud Nine with Back Aches

  August 6, 2009

    I’ve wanted to write an entry for days, but between the meds, the ‘aqua’ therapy, time with Ian, Sara visiting, and the general crap I have to do, I’ve been a busy girl. I’m stuck (in that I bounce between) two very strong feelings. First, the love I have for ...

• This time & Back diagnosis

  August 2, 2009

    Mom told me today that I’m handling this separation from Grant much better than I did last time. On the outside, I suppose I am. I am going out, I am being social, and I am getting things done. Last time, when Grant left, we’d only been married a few months—rocky months a...
