Life and Things It’s been a mostly quiet week, though I’ve been pretty lethargic and apathetic. I haven’t really had the energy to do much blog-wise, or serious reading-wise. Four of the six books this week were really short. I learned that, even when I reach my sleep goal hours, I’m not actually getting enough […]
Life and Things I had a long day this Monday past, getting prepped for going into a clinical trials study. They sent my bloodwork off to the sponsor company, and the results from my battery of other tests. That’ll determine if I get to actually be in the study. I’m hoping so. I have a […]
Life and Things This was a mostly quiet week. I did have a glaucoma doctor appointment, to double-check the pressure in my eye. It was normal for me, so no drops. Yay! My Fitbit bit the dust. A new one should be arriving tomorrow. I’m so used to wearing one now that I feel funny […]
Life and Things It’s continued to rain almost the entire time my family has been gone 😧  We’ve needed the rain though. There’s also been an earthquake nearby, and a bad windstorm. Due to my health issues, my guinea pig has been relocated to a happy new home. It was a decision I wrestled with […]
Life and Things I’m late getting this off! It’s been a rather nice time, having my family gone away. They’ll not move back til the 12th, so it’s just me, the cats, and the blessed quiet. It would, of course, start raining the day after they left…  I dislike being rained on, and I usually […]
Life and Things Hope everyone had a lovely Yule! Ours was pretty good. I got books, a hand-carved tiki, handcrafted Dalek magnets (soooo cute! I collect daleks 😆). I also collect snow globes, and my family gave me a snow globe from the play Aladdin. Life has been hectic, what with two holidays. Tried to […]
Life and Things Mostly quiet week. Still working through Stranger Things. So far, I’m still enjoying it, but I liked the first season more. I went to a work Christmas party and got to discuss archaeology with a friend’s brother. I do get to participate in clinical trials for my liver condition. It’s double-blind, but […]
Life and Things This was a week thankfully free of doctor appointments. I ended up cancelling the one for Monday, and need to reschedule it. I’ve been invited to partake in a second liver study, and need to set that appointment as well. We went to see Last Jedi Friday. It was pretty awesome. It’s […]
Life and Things I had a visit with the glaucoma Dr on the 30th, and got a verdict of borderline ocular hypertension. I’ll be monitored a few months, to gather more data points, and then they’ll see if drops are warranted. I did learn that my cornea is thicker than normal, which makes pressure readings […]
Life and Things Happy Late Thanksgiving, all! This week was full of ‘fun’. I entered into a liver study focused on NASH. It’s long-term, and will help further knowledge of the disease. I also had a visit to a retina specialist because of a unique pain in my eye. A pain I recognised- glaucoma. Sure […]
