  • This Was Going To Be The Post And Then I Got An Ocular Migraine Instead

    the Netherlands didn’t have ANY known cases because that’s the cultural norm – if you’re sick in any way, you take paracetamol and wait at least ten days for symptoms to pass. THEN you go to the doctor.

  • Tell On Yourself Then Brag About It

    While I didn’t get a single thing done on that list of three things that I told on myself yesterday, I made progress.

  • FYI – A Is The Oldest Child

    There are always ‘puzzles’ and looming #ToDos on the horizon wearing us down and sticking in the back of the brain and it all boils down to not prioritizing it.

  • And Then BAM! Have Some Depression

    I mean, but, well, it’s kind of understandable. My Grandma Porter died a year ago peacefully in her sleep. She had been in hospice for a few months. It wasn’t a surprise. The memorial was a few days later. I couldn’t make it. I wrote something that my Aunt Julie read for me. Thanks, AJ!…

  • Have You Heard Of An Ocular Migraine?

    Hey, look I’m writing today, too! Go, me! #FocusLeander An ocular migraine, also known as a visual migraine, is a temporary visual distortion that often begins with a small sparkling, shimmering area that slowly expands outward. The first time it happens, it’s incredibly… #NotCool #WTF #surreal I see a single pixel of … shimmer? Sparkle?…

  • And Now For A Fitness Update!

    I know, I know, I wrote all those secrets and now I’m talking cardio? WTF, Leander. But, see, this is on my mind, TOO, y’all. #FITNESS #CARDIO #PEACE

  • That’s My Secret, Cap. I’m Always Angry.

    After that last post, going through security and passport control, and walking ten forevers to get to the gate, I’ve had a low grade fever without the exhaustion. Which tells me I’m having a hot flash. One of the longer lasting ones, sure, but still a hot flash.

  • And Then I Got Better

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I made a post about how I had perimenopause and I started hormone replacement therapy and then I disappeared and was never seen again.

  • And Then I Got Sick

    In my very last post, A Vacation From My Vacation, I was going to do All The Things ™ and whatnot, but then I got #ForRealsies Really Real Sick. Sometimes “tomorrow” unexpectedly punches you in the throat meat. Here’s what I did instead of all the things. Called the therapist. Talked to the therapist. Worked…

  • I Seriously Cannot WAIT To Get THERE

    I suppose that I should make an introduction of you before simply sending you a blog post, but THAT’S HOW I ROLL. To cut through introductions, I’ll just link to your personal trainer website. And can I also totally recommend a makeover on that thing?

  • Big Breath In. Big Breath Out. Repeat.

    TL;DR my mother’s mother is on home hospice. My daughter is named after her. So I’m grabbing girl twin and running to the States to introduce them and say goodbye. It’s intense.

  • And I’m Still A Bit Sick, If I’m Honest

    So I’m totally back publishing this post to Tuesday, cause, DAMNIT, I was sick. And not just me – the entire family – all five of us – has a cold that’s just enough that on Monday after I went to the gym, I was literally falling down dizzy. YAY!
