You Do The Math.
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008We have a two-bedroom house, which is why I reside in the basement.
On Monday, my sister, who has been banished from her living space, moved in, along with her two-year-old son and her five-year-old daughter.
Heaven help us.

Put On A Little Makeup.
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I generally don’t don’t wear makeup to go to the doctor’s office because, well, why the hell should I? Who would I be trying to impress? Certainly not the man being paid two hundred and fifty dollars for twelve minutes of his precious, precious time, as he could not give less of a shit how […]
Deals, Deals, Deals!
Sunday, June 29th, 2008I’m finally starting to feel less high, which is decidedly good, since staring at walls is not exactly the most socially acceptable activity. I’m still pretty spacey, but not so much that I feel at one with Keith Richards.
I did go to the handbag party, scoring a pretty fucking sweet fake Dolce and Gabbana […]
They’ll Stone You When You’re At The Neurologist.
Friday, June 27th, 2008So last night I started the double dose of seizure medication and also the fentanyl patch.
Jesus Christ, am I stoned. STONED. I didn’t even go to kickboxing, because frankly the Jell-O I am walking through would have made things rather challenging. Left hook? Hell, I can’t even get my left arm […]
And Swoop.
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008One of the things about depression/bipolar/whateverthefuckiswrongwithmyhead that I have really had the hardest time dealing with is that it strikes without warning and it strikes hard.
I’m on meds, both bipolar and antidepressant. I’ve rarely been off of some sort of psychological medication since about 1992. There’s great stigma attached to saying such a […]
Copy Of Outgoing E-Mail.
Monday, June 23rd, 2008To: Dad
Re: Barack Obama
Dear Dad,
In response to the thirty-five e-mails you have sent me re: Barack Obama, you are absolutely right. I have now seen the light. Obama is a sleeper. He is a flag-burning wing nut who spits on veterans and sings “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” while the rest of us good Americans are […]
Someone Pead In Our Pool.
Thursday, June 19th, 2008The pool has been open for two weeks. Two weeks of swimming, frolicking with inner tubes, kids tracking water through the house, merriment. I sit outside and read or drink beers with my friend from kickboxing when she brings her kids over. It’s been a slice.
Yesterday I walked outside to find that the pool […]
My Body, It Is Tired.
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008As if I were not working out enough, I am now undergoing physical therapy three times a week for my back and neck.
Yesterday I went for the evaluation, which was quite the interesting experience. I was first plunked down in front of a computer and told to fill out a questionnaire.
Please rate your pain […]
I am Omni-Mom.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008It is June and once again I am insured, thanks be to Medicare Part D! I am quite thankful, because although samples fulfilled most of my medication needs I have been without both pain medication and sleeping pills. This has left me one crabby, backachy, wide-awake “sumuma”, to coin a Bernie Mac-ism.
A lot […]
Worker Bees.
Thursday, May 29th, 2008So we’re having the house scraped and painted and we are also having a brand-new pointy garage roof put on because our old flat one was falling in. Thank you, low-interest home improvement loans.
I like all this work going on because generally I’m alone all week and now there are people fluttering about the […]
