I’ve always been a difficult person to be friends with. And I’m not easy to love. Although life didn’t start out that way. One day in pre-school, my mom was shocked to see me sitting at a table with all the little boys in the class crowding around me, the only girl at the…
No sleep for me. I’ve turned nocturnal again recently. But that’s not the main reason I’m awake right now. I was awake for 30 hours straight the other day. No idea why, I just didn’t want to sleep. So yesterday I then slept for 20 hours. This got me doubly dehydrated, despite drinking a…
I’m awake since I feel a bit sick right now. Nausea has become a fairly common occurrence during my days now, likely from all the salt tablets I’m ingesting…and all the food I’m not ingesting. I really don’t care, either. So, it’s been a bit since I really updated at all because I’ve been…
via Daily Prompt: Doubt “…why did you doubt?” Right now I’m full of doubt. What a cliche beginning. And yet, it is the truth. I can’t predict the future. I don’t know what the Lord has in store for me. He’s started dropping hints again after a week’s silence following what happened just recently,…
Master Yoda was right. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Well, give me my red lightsaber now. I’ve feared for the past year since I went on medical leave (on June 10, 2016) that this day would come. That my recovery…

via Daily Prompt: Resist Unlike most people who will write about politics for today’s prompt, I hate politics, so I will avoid talking about it on my blog. No, instead, I’m going to write about something I bring up occasionally and is so important for those who are chronically ill: patient advocacy. Much of my…
Sometimes the only way to get the best care is to take things into your own hands. I’ve done it before, and now I’ve had to do it again. But I’m glad I did. Dr. J had told me to call his office about a week after my testing that occurred on January 11th…
Start humming “Auld Lang Syne.” (Seriously, just work with me here.) “Your grace will never be forgot Your mercy all my life Will be my soul’s forever song My story and my light…” It’s easy for me to sit here and bash 2016 for what a horrendous year it was. I’ve already done a…
As the year is (finally!) drawing to a close, I decided to go back and look at some of my old posts to see how life has changed in the past six months since I started this blog. My goal was, and still is, to raise awareness about certain chronic health issues that affect…
