So…um, this is awkward. I’ve been meaning to write an entry for awhile now and it looks like it’s been more than two months since I last did. Whoops. And here we are not only in 2015, but midway through the second month of 2015. Yeah sorry about that. I did get around to making […]

As you may have read previously, Love was in a serious car accident the morning of Friday, August 1st on his way to work. He had a sudden, catastrophic brake failure and, unable to stop or swerve enough, he collided with the minivan in front of him at about 40-45mph. He came out of the […]

So Love’s been sick since last week with a miserable cold. He missed work Friday, got sent home Monday, and Tuesday went to the doctor for meds. He’s been coughing violently and like mad for days and days and neither of us got any sleep the entire time because he’d wake up coughing every 15 […]

Here’s a little look at a few images from our 15th anniversary mini-trip to Pine Mountain, Georgia. We got there Friday evening and left Sunday around lunch so it wasn’t nearly enough time. Still, it was great to get away – even for a couple days! Anyway, just a few pics to show off how […]

Here we are and it’s already March. And I realize my intentions to actually sit down and write out a blog entry in my oh-so-neglected blog last month not only never came to pass, but I didn’t even come close. Handful of photo posts….and that’s about it. Sheesh. Just seems like I’ve been so busy […]

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Hope you’ve had a nice day, hopefully with good food and friends/family. My day was one of those good and bad sorta things. Good Thing Love got up early this morning and did the 5k Turkey Trot. It’s a huge race they do in Clearwater (like 15,000 […]

Good news is that we got Love’s car fixed Friday. We’re back to a two car household and the horrible, destructive whine of the compressor grinding itself to bits is no more. The bad news is that it cost more then we planned: $789.54 I had been planning on $700 so the extra hundred hurts. […]

Lots of things going on lately so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and write a real entry again. So, as usual, here’s a recap. Anniversary Last week was the 14th anniversary of Love and I being together. Aw… Seriously though, fourteen years! Holy cow, that’s a long time. One of these years […]

Poor Love was extremely sick yesterday. I was out at the post office and the supermarket picking up dinner when he got home after work. He proceeded to vomit pretty much non-stop for the next two hours. It was awful. Finally, around 7:30pm he finished being sick and pretty much passed out in bed and […]

Briefly, because I need to get to bed, Love had his tilt table test. I thought it was going to be multiple movements, crazy angles, etc., but it was just them strapping him to a table then tilting it to 90 degrees to simulate standing. The idea is that people tend to lock their knees […]

Love was at the Neurologist on the 20th again to see if his increase in migraine meds helped. It hasn’t. So now the neuro isn’t even sure it is migraines and wants to try a few other things. First up is a tilt table test with a cardiologist. It was originally scheduled for last Thursday […]

With all the focus on my blog about healthcare following my CNN.com article, I haven’t had a chance to update what ELSE is going on in my life lately. So here’s a bullet-point rundown. Love’s Dad was in the hospital again. Last Monday, July 2nd, he went to the ER late afternoon with severe pain […]

Love & the Neurologist Yesterday (Monday the 14th) Love had his follow-up with the neurologist. Turns out the CT scan he had done a few weeks ago was perfectly normal. See, Love has this “whooshing” which kinda pulses in his right ear. Had it for years. But, when the whole vertigo-turned-out-to-be-migraines attacks started a year […]

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 […]
