It was a busy week. I felt physically well through most of it, but yesterday and today I am struggling. I’m in bed with a migraine that I think I accidentally kicked off by enjoying a quiet walk on sunny snowpack. While I prefer to have illness strike on a weekend, I feel irritated that […]

Day 1221 and Migraines
I get really bad migraines. I do what o can to manage them but they are a frequent and challenging enough issue for me that I’ve got 45 separate entries on the topic. I’d prefer not to discuss it at all as it’s not a very pleasant experience but it can be so overwhelming that […]

Day 10 and The Migraine
When I committed to writing a long form piece every day I told myself a lie. I told myself It was no big deal to make a daily commitment. I told myself I’d find a way to put fingers to keyboard no matter what. I told myself this lie knowing full well that willpower was […]

Day 1448 and Overhead Lighting
A quibble I have with modern industrial living is the prevalence of overhead lighting. I know we have to tolerate the bright lights in public and institutional spaces for reasons of cost, efficiency and clarity but why on earth have we found it to be acceptable in the home? I’m grateful our divas bring their […]
I’ve been running around keeping a busy schedule while I’m on the road for a few weeks on the west coast. I had a number of things I wanted to do today but I’m so tuckered out I have been slowly passing on everything. My stomach is upset, I’ve got a migraine that isn’t quitting […]
