I’m all jittery. I always get like this before a race, where part of me is excited and ready, and part wants to hide behind the sofa until it’s over. What’s up with that? It’s not like I’m a contender for a medal or anything; I’m middle-to-back of the pack! Something about all that starting [...]

I finally got an appointment with a new doctor. It’s hit me that I am having a ton of headaches lately, not all of which are horrible, but most of which are nagging and making me snappish at the least. Then there’s the dizziness, which hits not just when I go from sitting or squatting [...]

I just realized that I’ve been dating January stuff with 2007 instead of 2008. My computer just assumes I know what I’m doing – now, why would it think that? – so it backdates it all, and everything disappears from sight into the depths of my calendars. Argh! New year hasn’t even started, and I’m [...]
