So my day started off like this: Because at 6:30am as Love is leaving for work, he calls me and says his car won’t start. He’s got to get to work (obviously) so he’s taking mine. Boo. I worry a little but go back to sleep. When I get up, I walk downstairs to the…

Selfish Grief
I’ve discovered with Rand’s passing that grief has many faces, shows up in many different ways and comes and goes with varying impact – even long after you think it should still bother you. It was two years this March and many days it’s easier to deal with; the grief is well-worn in and doesn’t…
Boring Weekend
Nothing really to talk about, hence the lack of posts in a few days again. Just more of bullet-point comments than anything, so here goes: Love’s CT scan The neurologist wanted to get it done to see if they could track down the source of the throbbing/whooshing/pulsing problem he has in his right ear. Doc…
Gifts with Wedding Registry
I’ve always loved freebies. I’m not as obsessive about it as some people but I take time each day to check out a couple freebie/deal boards to keep an eye out for free products or samples or other neat ways of getting items free or extremely cheap. And getting engaged at Christmas opened me up…
Downtown St. Petersburg
After a late start and braving rain, we made our way to downtown St. Pete this afternoon. We did wind up getting rained on, but only briefly. This is Florida after all, and in 10 minutes or so, the rain had given way to sunshine. There was an art festival going on but we got…
Love’s Neurologist – Appointment #2
Love had his second appointment with the neurologist yesterday; a follow-up to his first one to see how his new migraine medication was working. He told the doctor about all the crappy side effects of the Topamax and how miserable it was making him, but that he hadn’t experienced any of the dizzy spells since…
Wedding Joy?
So, my Wedding Woes entry prompted a TON of comments, suggestions and ideas. Today, my sister had a really great one and I think it might totally be a winner: renting a house for a weekend. You may be all like, wha…? but hear me out. I live in Florida. Florida is a tourist state…
A Little Bit of This and That
Saturday Didn’t do a lot over the weekend. Saturday I originally was going to meet up with an online friend for lunch but sadly, she hurt herself moving furniture the night before and had to reschedule. (Hope you’re feeling better, Jennifer!) So instead, we ran a handful of errands and rented The Help. It was…
Love’s Neurologist Appointment
This entry was actually started two days ago and has been sitting as a draft. Didn’t get a chance to update on Love’s appointment with the neurologist last Thursday. As a recap, a little over a year ago now (February 2011), he started getting what he thought was “vertigo.” He was getting dizzy, throwing up…
Bay area Renaissance Festival 2012
Yesterday, we hit the Bay area Renaissance Festival. The weather was absolutely perfect and we wanted to take advantage of that. It’s been a VERY hot winter and since the festival runs February – April, it only gets hotter. And a sweltering festival makes for a very miserable time. But yesterday…oh, it was glorious weather….
Love’s Birthday Weekend
Valentine’s Day evening was when I first realized I was sick. And I spent the next few days just in the typical, miserable fog of a cold. By Friday, I finally felt like the worst of it was over. With Love’s birthday coming up the following day, I ran an errand to the store to…
And…I’m Sick
Love went to work last Friday and by the time he got there, he realized he was sick with a cold. He stuck it out though and came home after work and was sick all weekend. I was really on the ball, changing the sheets, not drinking anything of his, washing my hands, etc. and…
Happy Valentine’s Day
A day for love; both to give and receive. Hope you can spread some love today too!
Daily Life
Haven’t had much exciting to post about lately; just going about daily life. The weekend we ran some errands and got out a bit. Love isn’t allowed to run yet post-op but he is allowed to walk so I made us get out and walk around Saturday. Sunday, he did breakfast with his family but…
Becoming A Habit
This whole spending the night at the ER thing is getting a little too common these days! First, let me assure you both I and Love are well. But late yesterday afternoon, we didn’t know that for sure. Love has his umbilical hernia repair surgery back on January 12th. Because of this, he is, of…
