Pain Relief
This is the first morning I’ve woken up without pain from existing. I started taking low-dose naltrexone last week because my doctor received a call from someone looking to prescribe it to them for their fibromyalgia. Up to that point … Continue reading
Jurack Family Game Night
Saturday night, we had my husband’s side of the family over for our bi-monthly family game night. One of the games suggested by Kim has the lovely title of “Eat Poop You Cat” (a name no doubt inspired by results … Continue reading
Dental Issues
Back in January, at my 6-month dental cleaning, the x-rays showed I had a cavity. My first one ever. I went along with the suggestion to get it drilled and filled right away, and within two weeks I had some … Continue reading
Bye Bye Dagwood
We got Dagwood a year ago. He was previously owned by a crazy cat hoarder that lost her home. All the cats were put up for adoption and he was lucky enough to be adopted by couple in North Royalton. … Continue reading
(Modified) Lyrics to a TMBG song.
I’m older than I’ve ever been. And now I’m even older. And now I’m older still. Fedex attempted to deliver my birthday present today, but a signature was required and no one was home to receive it. My class let … Continue reading
Foreign Transaction Fees for USD to USD
I, like many others out there, avidly review my credit card statements. I view the card’s activity online before statements to make sure there aren’t any unauthorized purchases on there. I don’t think I’ve actually found any in the eight … Continue reading
Posting Art Isn’t At All Like Posting About Babies
Since I haven’t posted much since Jonas’s birth, and no art at all in that time, here’s a piece that I still actually like. It’s half-scribble, half detail because I just didn’t want to work on it more than one … Continue reading
Angels of Ice and Fire
Same images, different medium, different text. My breech baby (who has hair already, I’m told. Yay ultrasounds!) is facing the the wrong way in both ways. It’s like he’s hugging my spine. I had an extremely painful dream wherein my … Continue reading
Bad Everything Day
Hey guys, I got a doctor’s appointment right at 7:30 AM to get some more testing done to see if this baby is killing me or not (so far it’s not). Last night, eating dinner around 6:30, I suddenly and … Continue reading
Not angry, just annoyed
I usually go about my life assuming that people do not care about me or what I do. This is easy for me to handle because the amount of people who could possibly care account for such a minuscule fraction … Continue reading
This Cat…
… is my favorite cat. She is one of three cats living in this house, and the only one that isn’t afraid to sleep on someone. This cat has an enlarged lymph node in her chest that has been preventing … Continue reading
Schroe Dot Org’s Florida Vacation
Jor and I were away for the past week (not that you’d have noticed with the normal amount of updates here). I’ve added a link to our Picasa photo gallery on the right hand side, with hundreds of pictures from … Continue reading
Lack of Focus
I feel like utter crap right now. I have a headache so bad that it hurts to focus my eyes (yet I still came to work today). I find myself staring into nothingness for indeterminate periods of time, which is … Continue reading
Pay It Forward
In 2000, a movie called “Pay It Forward” came about. In it, a social studies teacher gives his second-grade students a task for extra credt: come up with an idea to make the world a better place. The main character, … Continue reading
Goddamn winter.
I have a headache. It started last night. It’s not a headache I normally have, and my medication doesn’t seem to affect it. It hasn’t gone away or diminished, no matter what I’ve taken. So I watched it snow a … Continue reading
World of Warcraft
My husband and I wanted to start playing World of Warcraft again, starting tonight. Many people at my new place of employment play, and discussing it at work made me decide that it’s worth playing again. And, since we both … Continue reading
I drove alone today.
The real reason I finally got my driver’s license is because I’m starting a new job tomorrow (Dec 17) and my husband has to go out to California for a business trip. Even though the place I work at is … Continue reading
Alcohol
My husband had this great idea: let’s get 8 limes, 16 oz of 1800 Silver, 8 oz of Triple Sec, put it in a pitcher with a little bit of sugar and DRINK IT ALL. those were some strong and … Continue reading
