Sunday Bloody Sunday
Today I learned some new math.
I went to the studio this morning ready for a crazy, sweaty, challenging class. I even said something foolish, like “I want to be in pain.” Really, I should know better about these things by now. The first time I had to leave class this morning was somewhere around sun [...]
Intellectual Maturity
It has been said that the mark of intellectual maturity is being able to hold conflicting views simultaneously.
Flash class started last week, and on the first day the instructor -let’s call him Helmut- was somewhat worked up over having shared a computer with a student who had the flu. He talked about the syllabus a [...]
High, I’m back.
This major high hit yesterday afternoon. While I was waiting for my last class to start, I was reading a fellow teacher’s blog, and was reminded of one of my favorite sutras:
Undisturbed calmness of the mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward [...]

Shhhh.
I don’t want to jinx it. After a couple of weeks of unsuccessfully trying to wean myself from the Aciphex, my doctor told me to go off it completely for a week to see if it was actually doing anything. It’s been five days and I feel better than I did when I was on [...]
Get me off this crazy thing.
Regarding the wacky side effects of drugs that appear in approximately .014% of users: It turns out that I am the .014% of users. Radiating back pain and headache over the right eye? Got it. Nausea, fatigue, and sleep disturbances? Right on schedule. Dry mouth, indigestion, and metallic taste in one’s mouth? I’ll take one [...]
Status Woe
Facebook status is an occasionally interesting, mostly banal, sometimes humorous window into the lives of people I know but do not see often enough to know much about their day to day lives. Mostly, it’s fun. I know that one friend is rapidly losing weight, I get little updates about my fellow teacher training graduates [...]
Good Ideas and Bad Ideas
If there is one thing this freaking two month nauseathon has done, other than instill ungodly amounts of paranoia, it has given me some window into the eating habits of the expectant – which I need to make very, abundantly, totally clear I am NOT. In fact, I just overheard a conversation my uterus was [...]
Alternatives
I felt awful last night. My stomach was doing its best impression of a three year old holding her breath and throwing a tantrum, so I sat up until after midnight looking at vintage dresses on eBay. It got worse when I tried to go to sleep. I set my alarm for 5:30 for my [...]
Ailments Large and Small
When I woke up for good this morning at twenty after seven, I had two ideas: I could go to the 8am astanga class in Towson, or I could quickly make some waffles and veggie sausage for Scott before he left to meet his Mom at York Hospital, where his father has been since falling [...]
