An auspicious pair of numbers for today’s date and I started something new which has been in the works since January began today. Our long awaited hyperbaric chamber has arrived and been fully set up in our yellow barn. It feels good to begin a positive focused wellness activity after what was otherwise a chaotic […]

I’ve been struggling with migraines since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition maybe six or so years ago. I seem to be particularly struggling with them the last two months, as I work through an experiment with hormonal balancing and tapering off biologic autoimmune inhibitors. And so I am rotating various different activities every […]
The days becoming shorter has hurt my attempts at getting out in the sun for a walk every day. This matters to me as I’d like to get regular readings of my V02 maximum and my heart rate. I rushed out without sunscreen to get in a mile. I hit an important milestone in my […]
My husband and I are both sick. It’s the kind of “not quite respiratory, not quite sinus, not quite right” viral infection that always seems to take twice as long to clear as you expect. Aging and stress is part of it but so is the damage we both have from covid-19 infections that turned […]
Women are at a bit of a disadvantage to men when it comes to relieving ourselves. Yes I am talking about taking a piss. From road trips to the backcountry, we’re forced to hike up our skirts (or worse shimmy down our pants) and aim our stream through squat & thrust such that it lands […]

Day 1933 and JulieMaxxing

Comes from “minmaxxing”, a term for extracting the maximum output from the minimum input. Urban Dictionary gives its history though the minmaxxing, though lately I’m […]
Montana spring doesn’t come at the Equinox but today we had both sun and warm temperatures. I am grateful for the weather as I needed a day of restoration as I felt quite rundown from my sprint through Washington D.C last week. After a morning walk to take in the sunlight, I went through my […]

Day 1777 and Spacing Out
Yesterday a severe geomagnetic storm hit Earth. I had been following its trajectory for a few days I think space weather is a fascinating topic. Last year I was in Europe during a G5 event which is considered an extreme storm. It proved to be as unsettling as it was beautiful. Also migraine inducing. Just […]

Day 1765 and Hollowed Out
I’m at home with a freaky red light mask that could absolutely pass for a horror movie prop. My husband is sealed up in a hyperbaric chamber with two atmospheres of pressure and oxygen pumped in through a mask. It may be Halloween but neither of those activities are horror movie material even though you […]
As I sat inside our hyperbaric chamber for my 26th sessions of oxygen therapy, my mind was on commitment. I like a routine and a plan and being locked in on my follow through. I don’t recall when I was introduced to the concept of optionality, but it wasn’t something I recall being raised with. […]
