We enjoyed our winter break. It was a quiet Christmas with good food and good company (my mom and J). We made a pretty simple meal with a small turkey. My mom made some yummy dessert: it was like a pumpkin pie, but with… Continue Reading “A Quiet Break”

I was able to return to work today after a medical leave of 5 weeks. And while I am glad, I’ve been very anxious about it. I guess because I got so worn down and in such a chronic fatigue flare (plus reactivated EBV),… Continue Reading “Back”

I hope everyone is staying cool. Temperatures here have been raging at around 105 degrees and that is the REAL temperature, not the heat index which is even higher. For the love of God, it is hot. Between noon and about 7 p.m., it… Continue Reading “On the Antibiotic Wagon”
