Yay! I know that sounds odd (and no I’m not surprised that I have a muscle – you carry around a fat old lady body, you got some muscles under all that fat). But I have this reoccurring severe pain in my side/back. I’ve been worried it could be kidney stones or kidney trouble (even…
(BTY – this is a painting by one of my favorite fat artists – Beryl Cook, you can check out some more of her stuff on my Pinterest Board – Fat Art – Beryl Cook) Well, run is probably the wrong verb. But whatever your speed (and mine is admittedly slow) you “run” errands,…
For the second time in my (very long) life, I seem to have had an ocular migraine. I had one some years back – but the symptoms were a bit different; but close enough that I feel okay with my self-diagnosis. I was checking out at the grocery store, and suddenly had bright flashing…
(No, this is not me in my new dress – I can’t send pictures of me to my e-mail with my phone, and my husband is out for a walk, and I just don’t feel like waiting before I post this.) As all fat people know, finding cute and stylish clothing is a problem. But…
No, it’s not me. (Not totally true, anyone who has had chicken pox carries a version of the herpes virus which can reappear as shingles, and (possibly) Bells palsy – which I’ve had several times.) Anyhow … It’s our darling cat Leo. WTF, you might say; as indeed I did when the vet gave…
Leo has been so lonely since Ollie passed. He about broke my heart when we were playing with “THE TOY” and Leo kept stopping to look down the hall to see when Ollie would come play too. Sigh. So I started scouring the internet to try and find a little brother for Leo. I found…
It was time. He took a sudden and very bad down turn. We took him to United Veterinarian Emergency Service. They gave us time to say our goodbyes, we were allowed to be with him and he passed peacefully. Goodbye good friend.
I belong to MyPoints. They send you e-mail ads. (I’ll explain about MyPoints later in this post.) The subject line for this one was Today Only! Shop the philosophy collection at QVC. I’m thinking on the lines of Nietzsche or metaphysics. Imagine my disappointment when I find it is a line of skincare products.…
Yup, I’ve been hooking. A lot. And I’d like to make some money at it. I do it Japanese-style. Amigurumi. For those who are not up on their Japanese: Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, usually cute stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi,…
Well, maybe not religion but I sure am a fan of a bunch of gods I found on NetFlix. Just finished watching the New Zealand TV series The Almighty Johnsons, and oh my do I love it. For the accents, if nothing else. But there’s a lot more to love than just those fabulous…
