Supermarket Singer

Remember how yesterday I said that I was sick, but it wasn’t Crohn’s, it was because I ate an entire box of cookies? That was wrong, it was Crohn’s albeit perhaps triggered by overeating cookies. I did not eat anything yesterday, I hardly moved. I slept about half the day. That’s what happens when my […]

The Joy of Mediation

Perhaps I should lie on my couch as I write this. I just got a call from my therapist’s office. She had to cancel today and no opportunity to reschedule. I’m afraid this doesn’t bode well. I love my therapist. I was given the opportunity to speak to someone else today, but I’d have to […]

Streit Talk

I forgot to blog yesterday. When I miss a day it’s usually because of time management, I start and then get lost doing other things. Not yesterday, I never started; because of that I’ve been on two expeditions since I last wrote. Sunday’s expedition was to Stop & Shop for my Pesach needs. That just […]

A Shot in the Arm

I got my first dose of vaccine! It was the puhfizer. My appointment was for 9:45 which meant I could wake up my usual time, 8:00 but couldn’t relax as much as usual. I didn’t eat or make coffee. I was not able to arrange for a ride from Medicaid, so I walked. Taking a […]

Infusion Serendipity

Yesterday’s adventures revolve around my infusion. The car service arrived early so I rushed to get down there. I didn’t forget anything, but I did overdress. It was quite a bit warmer than I was prepared for. I never zipped up my jacket or wore my hat and gloves. Medicaid provides the car to take […]

Stop Thief!

The heat was out again; this time I didn’t wait, I put on an extra hoodie and warmer slippers. It did not reach mukluk cold. Now the heat is back, and the extra hoodie is off and I’m debating putting on my regular slipper socks. My toes are on the edge of being too warm […]

A Day in the Life

I’m not following my normal Sunday schedule. I tried recording Gord’s Gold between one and two PM. At 1:05 I got a notification on my phone that my Amazon delivery was one stop away. As I didn’t want to be interrupted I decided to wait until it arrived to start. I realized that was not […]

What’s Up Doc?

I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]

The Great Purge

Yesterday’s adventure was my first shopping trip, including taking a bus, since I got notified that I had contact with someone that tested positive my last time on a bus. Perhaps that wasn’t wise as I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow but I’m out of too many kinds of food and I’m going to be […]

Whee! Festivus!

I don’t have COVID-19 but my Crohn’s disease got jealous of the attention COVID-19 was getting and decided to remind me who is boss. It’s manifesting itself primarily the way it did decades ago. I’m not in that much pain but I have no energy. I spent yesterday watching tv and napping. I didn’t even […]
