eBay Delivered Me Irony in a Box
Lately, it’s been quite the ‘ride’. After my latest urine sample fiasco (read about it here), the story continues. But I suppose as long as there is life, there is a story. During the worst health crash of my life the past few weeks, thanks to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), and during this crazy pandemic of COVID-19, self-isolation, UK lock down and all the craziness that goes with it, the time finally came. We had tossed around the need on other occasions, but this time there was no question: If I have days like these that I can’t lift a fork or comb my hair or operate my insulin pump and…
Why Did I Use such a Small, Larger Container?!?
This is definitely a TMI kind of post. But if you’re human, or at least a woman, you’ll be able to relate…even if you won’t admit to it. So, stop reading now or forever hold your peace. Today’s topic? Urine. And I’ll tell you right now, I’m gonna say the word urine a LOT in this piece so brace yourself.

(I find it important to say hear and now that this is ONLY if we are there in good time. Nothing is more stressful than setting off the REALLY bad alarm when already running short on time. But more on that soon.) So…let’s consider this Part 1 of a series, shall we? Episode 1: The Pat Down from Heaven…Mostly. Thanks to wearing a continuous glucose monitor sensor on my arm, which in basic terms is a sensor I…
So What, I Can’t Sing?!
I’m alive, I’m ALIVE, I’M A….LIIII…VE!! Sorry. I’m not shouting. I’m singing! (Kinda the same thing? Maybe? I do wish I could sing better so it wouldn’t hurt everyone’s ears when I belt out the hook to a good ballad. But I don’t let a little terrible singing stop me.) Sia has some awesome tunes and whenever I hear this one (Alive) I feel excited about life. Even if my joints are aching or my back is killing or my blood sugar is whack and I just want to sleep but can’t or I’ve got a puking migraine. Wait. Nope. Not that last one. Sorry Sia. You’re music is golden…
