Today would have been Rand’s 44th birthday. It’s the second birthday since his passing. Not going to say much here I’ll start crying but… I miss you, Rand. Happy Birthday.

End of the Week
It’s the end of another week and we’re in the final days of July. Hard to imagine it’s almost August. Tomorrow, we have the big garage sale at Mom’s house. I’m heading up there when Love gets home to bring up a few more items and my sister had more items to bring up as…
Stuffy Nose and Stupidity
Man, I don’t know what gives lately but the last few days my nose will NOT stop being all stuffy! I’ve been blowing it non-stop and it just keeps right on coming. I can’t breathe so it’s hard to sleep and it hits in waves and when it does, I’m just miserable. Pollen counts only…
1:30am
I’ve been sitting staring at the title line for 15 minutes trying to start the blog but given that it’s about 1:30 in the morning, nothing is coming to me. Just a simple entry with brief update from the last few days. Saturday – As you probably saw in the last post I stopped and…
At least BP meds are working!
If I’m forced to deal with the crappy side effects of the Labetalol, at least the good news is that it’s helping! Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Overdid It Yesterday
Headed up to Mom’s yesterday to help sort, organize and price all the various items for the garage sale next weekend. Several people donated a ton of items in a large range of categories, so there was a lot to go through. It started to rain almost immediately after we began so we were working…
Huge PhoenixFire Designs Update
So I’ve spent the whole afternoon updating my shop! Wide variety of items in a range of prices. Here’s a peek at some of the items available. Click any image for more information about the item and how to buy it.
Wednesday
WordPress taunts me. It starts off with “Enter Title Here” and on many days, I sit and stare at the title box for long stretch of time, unable to come up with something clever to put there. Today, you can clearly see, was one such day as I eventually gave up and just entered the…
Insurance!!
I got wonderful news today. The letter from the Pre-Existing Insurance Plan (PCIP) came today. And I’m APPROVED! As of August 1st, I will have medical insurance which WILL work on my pre-existing gynecological problems and which WILL be able to be used toward my surgery. As you can see, I need to immediately pay…
Missing wallet
Spent the last 45 minutes tearing the house apart trying to find Love’s wallet. Cannot find it anywhere. He finally just had to leave for work without it because he was already 30 minutes late. Had it yesterday at the store to buy dinner but just cannot find it anywhere!! This is crazy. I don’t…
You Oughta Be In Pictures
(This is an entirely non-medical post. I need to do something different for a little break. I’m sure medical entries/updates will resume probably right away, but in the meantime, enjoy one completely randomly off-topic.) There’s a movie that was released in 1977 called Slapshot. It’s kind of a cult favorite hockey movie where a minor…

Post Appointment Update
Had my appointment today for the one-week follow-up on the blood pressure medication. BP was 128/82 and doc was very happy with where I was at. (Considering a week ago it was 160/100.) He also did just a simple external pressing on my abdomen to see how the tumors felt and he was impressed with…
Migraine
Ugh, migraine today. First in awhile. Took an Imitrex a coupe hours ago. Has helped pain but still don’t feel well. One week follow-up with doctor tomorrow at 1pm for blood pressure medication. I’ll update after that. Haven’t tested my BP in a few days. Haven’t been out of the house honestly. Made a bunch…
PhoenixFire Designs Shop Update
Well, we’re about 7 weeks into this unpaid medical leave bit and I’m getting nervous about the ever-decreasing balance in my account. I’ve been trying to get new items listed inbetween medication side effects, a/c failures and doctor’s appointments so I thought I’d profile some of the newer items and available items to help drum…
