Guess

Friday, September 28th, 2007

… who couldn’t sleep last night.
… who tried a shower, but it didn’t work.
… who finally tried the prescribed sleep aid.
… who still couldn’t sleep and felt sick.
… who actually stuck her finger down her throat to feel better.
… who had RSL but also dizziness (due, she thinks to the medication).
… who finally fell asleep [...]

I’ve Been Shot (Again)

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Blood work. (No, nothing to worry about … just routine.)
Second Hep B shot.
I’ve never really had any trouble with blood being drawn, but today HURT. Then, to add to my sorrows, the Hep B shot hurt as well.
Hmmm.
Is it all in the delivery? Last time I had the Hep A, Hep B [...]

Because

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Because I told a friend that I am sleeping now that I am taking iron I have been restless, gotten up and taken a hot shower, tried to go back to sleep, and now I’m back up.
It’s 4:51 AM.
I should never tell anyone I’ve “found the answer” to my RLS or insomnia.

The Nest …

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

… is empty.
Jameson went to UCSC on Friday. He doesn’t start classes until the 27th, but it’s welcome week for freshman, and I’m guessing he’ll be learning the ropes this coming week, along with doing things like taking a music placement test. (Hmm. I wonder how I’d do on the test!)
It’s possible that [...]

Tattoo Woes

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

No, I don’t have a tattoo. And at 50 you can bet I’m not about to get one unless I hit the high seas and become a sailor. But news suggests that there are a lot of folks out there who are now having them removed. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. And the guys that are removing [...]

My Hero!

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

When I finished teaching my second (surprise! I didn’t know she was coming) student yesterday I heard Dan say something about “Jameson is doing yard work”. I laughed and said, “Right”.
Well, he really was doing yard work!
Finally someone here got fed up with how our backyard looked. Who would have thought it would be [...]

I’d be happy to help

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

I know the Mercury News charges per word or letter or some such thing for obits. But I’m wondering if they are doing that elsewhere as well. I just read this on the front page:
Is no need to panic about Poco Way?
Hmmm. A “there” would be nice, but that’s five letters, two of which are [...]

Home With Mom

Friday, September 14th, 2007

So mom and I are sitting in her family room. She’s having her pudding and I … well … I’m obviously blogging!
I tried sending an email to family, but to no avail, after trying several addresses. Ah well.
Sometimes computers are a puzzle to me. At Kaiser I could access websites, but couldn’t access [...]

Very Strange

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I suddenly got this craving for a hamburger.
I haven’t had red meat since, I think, about 1977. Is this bizarre or what? And what in the world does this mean?

The Closer

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I really enjoy The Closer. A lot. But seeing a congresswoman, acting as herself, on the show was a surprise.
I’m not sure if I should care. But I guess I’m thinking, “Gee, does she want to be an actress, or does she want to be a politician. Or are they synonymous anyway?”
I dunno. [...]
