I read negative comments about this blog last week. First time that has happened for me. It should have cut me to the quick. It should have ripped my heart to shreds. But I didn’t feel any such pain. My initial instinct was to ask why. Then I thought better of it. I began blogging… Continue reading Let live
Friday, October 10 is National Depression Screening Day
This year, Friday October 10 will be National Depression Screening Day. Fifteen years ago this month, the medical school that I was attending at the time was one of the screening sites for National Depression Screening Day. I went for kicks. I mean, I already knew that I was depressed for most of my life,… Continue reading Friday, October 10 is National Depression Screening Day
erpps, I did it again
I’ve been feeling crappy all week. Tired, never quite alert, runny nose. Attention span of a gnat. Perpetual constipation is my normal state, but lately I’ve been going sometimes twice a day (which is considered normal, by the way, just isn’t my normal). I thought I was coming down with a cold. Figured I better… Continue reading erpps, I did it again
My heart flips …
Had a good half hour or so of heart palpitations today. That’s when you feel your heart “flutter” or, as in my case, do flip-flops, inside your chest. It was kinda scary. All I was doing was sitting at the computer working. I wasn’t stressed about anything. Checked my radial pulse and it seemed okay.… Continue reading My heart flips …

Love and Money
Daddy cut off my allowance. Daddy don’t love me no more. Talked to my therapist about this last night. My therapist told me that it is okay to feel hurt over this, so I guess it’s okay to write about it. My father has been extremely patient and generous with me since I left the… Continue reading Love and Money
Virtual Doctor Visits
I’m listening to talk radio this morning. I find out that one health insurance company is testing a system where you go online, give your symptoms, and get a response from a medical doctor. You are charged your normal co-pay for this virtual visit. These virtual visits are meant to enhance medical care. No more… Continue reading Virtual Doctor Visits
Book meme
Here is an interesting and fun meme that I found as I was cruising my favorite blogs. These are the rules: Look up page 123 in the nearest book to you at the time. Find the fifth sentence and write it down. Then write down the three sentences that follow. Tag other bloggers. I wasn’t… Continue reading Book meme
Letter to my mother
Hi Mommy, How are you? Are you warm enough with the clothes we sent you? Daddy sent more money today for you and Susan. I hope you have enough, and that you are happy. I have thought a lot about you over the past seven years. I never thought that we had much in common.… Continue reading Letter to my mother
