I can do a bunch of stuff over a weekend and still be behind. Today reminded me of that at school. So I came home, had dinner, and when Annika started asking about going shopping, I said "how about movie Monday?" I was thinking that I could clean out my backpack, maybe get a couple … Continue reading October 22: Spirited A-what?

October 14: feeling better
I felt terrible last night, but I was a lot more careful about my diet today so I felt a lot better today. Since I started watching my food choices more closely, I've lost maybe 18 pounds or so, but what's been really weird is how it's changed how I feel and what I crave. … Continue reading October 14: feeling better
October 13: fast food is garbage
I have been eating healthy for about a month now and this weekend was the first time I ate fast food pizza (Pizza Hut) since then and I'm super sick. I don't know for sure it's from eating the pizza, but I don't know what else it could be. I have had a bit of … Continue reading October 13: fast food is garbage
October 10: A lot of thoughts, very little time to write
Today went better. I no longer want to give up. I did better at putting things in perspective and after I got done being angry and frustrated, I realized some of the ways I could have done better yesterday. That was heartening, because I felt like I was struggling for answers and wasn't finding them. … Continue reading October 10: A lot of thoughts, very little time to write
October 6: Productive
The cold is holding on, even though it's low level and just an annoyance for the most part. It didn't get in the way of a productive day, though. I woke up early (for me on a Saturday) and Anders and I went to the farmers market and the coop all before noon. I took … Continue reading October 6: Productive
October 4: down with the sickness
Yeah, I'm getting a cold. I'm exhausted and my throat hurts and I might be even a little feverish (or I was). Gross. Perry has been sick for a few days. He started throwing up a couple mornings ago, and threw up for a couple days. He's started being hungry again today, but I'm worried … Continue reading October 4: down with the sickness
September 27: Boats and…
Migraines, apparently. On the annual drive down to Winona today, my vision filled with an aura and I had to pull over for a half hour to let it pass. I took some Excedrine and it seems like I may have avoided a full on headache, but I've been super sensitive to EVERYTHING since then. … Continue reading September 27: Boats and…
September 22: The first illness of the year
It's finally here: Annika has a fever and was feeling so icky tonight that she didn't want cake or ice cream. Seriously. And she fell asleep before 9 pm. She's snuggled up with me and snoring away. My poor baby. Anders felt bad a few days too and probably had a fever, considering he was … Continue reading September 22: The first illness of the year
August 19: need some rain!!
Everything is a scorched, smoky hellscape because it hasn't rained in forever and there is so much smoke from the OVER 500 fires burning in British Columbia right now. It feels icky outside. I feel icky when I'm outside too much. My throat gets scratchy and I even got a headache today. And it's been … Continue reading August 19: need some rain!!
June 2: sad day
Today we went to Duluth to attend Dak's aunt's memorial service. Trudie was a vibrant, fun woman who fought cancer like a champion. We didn't spend a ton of time with her, but what we did was always happy. She was warm and welcoming to me as a new person in the family, which was … Continue reading June 2: sad day
