And I know that some readers of my blog worry whenever I don't write for a while. So I'm just gonna drop a quick post to say that everything is honky-dory. I've just been tired. Like way tired. Too tired to think, really. Such is the life of someone with fibromyalgia and all the other… Continue reading It’s been a minute

Quick check in
So a friend of mine asked me to write more often because they're worried since I've been sick lately. I'll do a quick check in. My throat is still a little sore though I do have my voice back. I'm tired, but that's par for the course. Yesterday was pretty bad, pain-wise. Like I had… Continue reading Quick check in
Half-asleep thoughts
So while I was just about to fall asleep last night, I had an epiphany. A small one, but one nonetheless. So, the last few months I've been trying to get on the right track and "eat right" and/or exercise more and generally get into better health habits. And I've failed miserably. Like I barely… Continue reading Half-asleep thoughts
Another Poptart update
So Poptart's eye is looking way better today. Like it almost looks normal to the naked eye. When I took his picture I could see that it's still cloudy though, just not as opaque as it was before. But as you can see in the photo, there's definitely as blueness to his right eye that's… Continue reading Another Poptart update
Poptart update
So here is a picture of Poptart today. I've been taking a picture of him every morning until we can see a doctor. His eye looks much better today. I'm still watching him closely. But if you read my blog yesterday, I figured I'd keep you updated. Like I said, if he gets worse, I'll… Continue reading Poptart update
Tough decisions
So yesterday, when I was putting the dogs in their room (yes they have a room) so the people delivering our appliances could do so in peace, I noticed that there was something amiss with our smallest dog's eyes, well one of them anyway. I immediately called the vet and they're booked out for a… Continue reading Tough decisions
The price of aging
So I spoke with my doctor yesterday about my blood results. It only took two weeks, but in this time of a global pandemic, my minor health issues are but a drop in the bucket of the world's illnesses. Anyway, my doctor wants me to take several new medicines -- five if you count the… Continue reading The price of aging
Test results
Got my test results back this morning. For the most part, everything is normal. My TSH levels are way up though, which means I was right that my thyroid is acting up. I mean, they're not through the roof high, but they are elevated. It's probably enough to explain my fatigue and other ailments lately.… Continue reading Test results
Checking in
I don't write a lot when I'm tired. And when I do write, I tend more towards the "I'm tired, woe is me." kind of writing, and I hate that about myself. So that's why y'all haven't heard much from me in the last few days. I went to the doctor today and got some… Continue reading Checking in
Rambling about pain and stuff
So I have a few chronic ailments that give me occasional pain flares. One of them is fibromyalgia and another is hypothyroidism. I'm also going through menopause right now, so that doesn't help at all, neither does the asthma. I have a few other issues, but those are the biggies. Anyway, my point is that… Continue reading Rambling about pain and stuff
