Coffee, Cortisol and Stress

Chrissy — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:40:25 PST

Caffeine, meet my blood. Now, get in it. I drink a bit of coffee. More than I should, I’m sure. Maybe I’m lying like a rug. But, I’m not willing to give it up now. Maybe tomorrow. I fuckin’ love coffee and will chew the arm off any stupid person willing to try to get [...]

Own It

Chrissy — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:24:34 PST

female cough 1 I have a rotten cold. I wonder if there has ever been anything other than a rotten, lousy or miserable cold? Perhaps a fantastic or wonderful cold? Anyway, I have one and it’s a mean fucker. The coughing isn’t so bad, yet. The stuffy head, nose and chest has me moving slowly [...]

A New Day , Experiences and Wheat

Chrissy — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:40:40 PST

Today’s a new day, right? Right. Today I believe that and feel it, which is more important. Knowing something cerebrally, or rather, being aware of something, never is as powerful as knowing it through first hand knowledge, or a sense of having lived it in some way. No matter what new age self-help book and [...]

Caged Athena and Fierce Victorious

Chrissy — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:12:06 PST

Athena walks into the cage and sits there, content. She shares it with the huge pot used for the dogs water and a small bowl for food, though it’s empty at this moment. She will cry her rusty croaking non-meow until let in or fed. She does this every day when inside until forcibly removed [...]

I Scream, You Scream…

Chrissy — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:52:06 PST

I’ve got two pimples that look like a snake bite right where my lip joins my chin in the crease. I look even more ridiculous than usual. It has to be the ice cream, right? That damned strawberry ice cream. Yeah, I know…ice cream. I had a binge day of ice cream. Thankfully I didn’t [...]

We’re Back Together!

Chrissy — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:06:22 PST

This coffee is friggin’ awesome. What the Hell happened to my house? It’s wrecked. Having woken at five thirty am, I was feeling oddly fine. I shuffled into the kitchen, then the living room. In fact, I felt better than I had in many months and certainly better than yesterday! This is said tentatively, nervously. [...]

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot

Chrissy — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:22:40 PST

OK so you all are out there partying and I’m doing what I do best, sitting in my cat pajamas eating all natural whole cranberry sauce and being a jerk on the internet while still in my polka dot rain boots. Eventually someone will kick my ass and it will feel like a real party [...]

The State of my Union; Epiphanies, Pie and Knitting

Chrissy — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:12:41 PST

I just have to say that I have eaten every damned thing in sight that my lap-band would allow over the Christmas holiday…and I knew I was going to do so and I am not sorry for it. That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I didn’t eat everything. The dog is still in one piece. [...]

Endocrinologist

Chrissy — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:55:44 PST

The doctor called, his hope and belief that I have Hashimotos and Cushing are not supported by labwork. I am back to square one I am no longer pursuing a diagnosis. I am taking a break and will be gone awhile,
