Is This Thing On?

Katherine — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:40:46 +0000

This is a case of serious blog neglect! It’s not like I haven’t had a lot of thoughts that I’ve wanted to share, or things that I’ve been doing, or whatever, it’s that my ability to focus has been complete and total shit for the last 9 months or so and I just haven’t felt [...]

Down with the Syndrome.

I saw the endocrinologist last week, and he made the clinical diagnosis of PCOS. He also thinks I might be hypoglycemic and/or insulin resistant, so he made the decision to put me on Glucophage. I’m supposed to follow-up in May. I liked him. I think English was his second or third language because he asked [...]

Child: Somebody’s gonna fart. Mom: Shhh. Child: Somebody’s gonna fart! Mom: Please, shhh. Child: Somebody’s gonna fart! Mom: Please, not so loud. Child: Somebody’s gonna FART! Mom: Please, stop that. You’re being too loud. Child: You guys... Mom: Don’t say it. Child: SOMEBODY’S GONNA FART!

Knitting Olympian.

I’m gonna be knitting 6 Fancy Pants diaper covers and 1 Judy Jetson sweater. Tonight I’ll get all my materials together, do a little bit of planning, and then the minute those opening ceremonies begin, I will be a knitting fiend!

X-Mas Eve 2009 Chit Chat.

Even Temple is closed on the 25th, but not today. Lucky for me, Perfect Tommy is doing the dinner shopping today. And the store that I need to stop by is open until 7:00 PM so even if I have to work until 5:00 PM, I can still pick up some things. We are having a [...]

Relief. Frustration. Blah.

Good news: No PCOS! No hypothyroidism! Bad news: No PCOS! No hypothyroidism! High cholesterol! I’m relieved that my ovaries aren’t trying to kill me and that my uterus is normal. I’m glad that my thyroid isn’t malfunctioning. But… My doctor thinks my physical symptoms may be a result of my depression. He also thinks I should consider [...]

2nd Lunch.

When I only get four hours of sleep, I am hungry all day long. It’s ridiculous. But I will probably have a 2nd lunch anyway.

Sort of Lazy & Other News.

Katherine — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:10:42 +0000

I cannot bring myself to finish anything at work. I fiddle and fart around with all the papers on my desk, review lists, and calendars, but when it comes to the few things I absolutely must do, I have zero motivation. At home, I just sit or have a lie down. It’s a good thing that [...]

Serious Considerations.

Katherine — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:50:26 +0000

- Turning my laptop into a Linux machine because Windows just keeps pissing me off. - Redesigning my blog because it’s kind of depressing looking to me now. - Starting a webzine. Why not? I do have a domain that I’m not using.

Xmas! Holy Shit!

Katherine — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:42:11 +0000

It’s December, which means I look at my credit card bill and think, “I haven’t bought any presents yet. Why is my balance so high?” Even though the goal is to do handmade presents, gifts from the heart and whatnot, every year I get overwhelmed/depressed in the fall and nothing happens until the day after Thanksgiving, [...]
