Spring on the Beach
Time to catch up with my photo blogs! I have been so negligent but, honestly, with the winter being so fierce and me reacting so badly to cold being outside to take photos has been difficult. I have close to three dozen pictures to share with you so I’m breaking it up into three blogs; […]

Great Scot! An Adventure!
*grins* So, if you follow my Facebook you will already know this: I am going to Scotland! Yeah baby! That’s right, my lifelong dream is coming true! Flight is booked. Accommodation is booked. And, because I’m me, lists are being made and research is being done. Two weeks in the country I’ve been […]

Mitochondria… Mightimportant
“The Force is strong with this one.” Or not, as the case may be. There’s a part in STar Wars where Obi-Wan talks about midi-chlorians and how they are microscopic life forms living within our cells. The Jedi (and the Dark side) are able to talk to these midi-chlorians and therefore do amazing things. […]

Shades of Pink 14
Hi there! Long time no see! Yes, I know. *hangs head* It’s my fault. Between having my head stuck in learning HTML, finishing all but the last two pages of the website (one of which I need CSS and/or Joomla for, not quite sure which) and being sick – thank you, Girlkid! – […]

Winter Melt
Good afternoon, boys and girls! I have four pictures of the lake for you today. Two are from last Sunday and two are from this past Friday. The difference (even though they’re not taken from quite the same vantage point) is astounding. It seems like almost the entire Northern Hemisphere has been under […]

Winter
Good morning, my people! Hmm… that is kind of pretentious, calling you my people but hey, I’m in a possessive (but not pretentious) mood. I spent Thursday night (through dawn on Friday) in a violent and messy food reaction which means that today I am in a lot of pain. Surprisingly, my esophagus is […]

Patience/Impatience
Since I am having trouble focusing today, due to stupidly high pain levels, I am reading a book I can only read little bits of at a time – Wherever You Go There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn. On page 48 I found the following paragraph: “Patience is an ever […]

Exercise Update
Phew! I have to remember that I am not always going to see progress. Sometimes things in my life conspire to make me hurt more. Some of them are things I have no control over, some are things I choose to do – whether because I feel I have to or because it’s something I […]

Oh It’s A Good Day
Oh my Gods! Look! It’s a REVEAL! I finally settled on a title for Rolf & Birdie’s story and now I have a cover. Would ya like to see it? Would ya? Oh… I don’t know… I’m so pleased with it. It took ELEVEN attempts – and a lot of input from Val – […]

Beauty and Texture
Good morning! It is the first time in weeks that I can mostly see in the light without wanting to tear my eyes out so I thought I would share a few pictures from the past month with you. The first one is from over the Christmas holidays. Terror and I were at the […]
