corte de pelo


Love and Marriage 
Love and Marriage 
Go together like a 
Cat and Sunglasses 😎 
Fergus, Cedar, and Joseph. 


Covefe 
No reflux! 

People with Hiatal Hernias
Do this thing called Heel Drop”
Whereby you use the warmth of the coffee
And the weight and volume of the liquid
(Even warm water works)
Now-  get up on tiptoes-


Then slam! Down hard on your heels. 
About 5 or 6 slams will bring the stomach
Down to where it belongs. 
Before and after each meal. 
Or whenever you feel that old feeling. 

Having this unstable, moving hernia 
Feels like a cold water balloon 
Burst in your chest, and you can feel it. 
You actually feel it in your lungs! 
You can actually feel it when it slides. 
I used to think that was just ulcers
Or an esophagus spasm. 

Tell that organ to 
Go Back Where It Came From!
Which is not in my chest. 


How the stomach gets out of control
I have not figured out yet. 
But if 80 % of all people have it,
AND it’s called the Mother Of All Disease,
And it hurts like hell,
And it can freaking kill you…

Many people say they got their HH
After COVID. 

The more we know
The less we understand. 

I feel it has to do with the Vegas Nerve. 
Which is why HRV is finally important. 
We need to learn together. And quick! 


About $5 a dozen right now. 
Still a good value! 
The perfect food. 






At a certain point it seems
It would be easier to just take a picture 
With a camera. Virtually. 





So much traffic yesterday,
And I was in a rush. 
Walked in to a neighborhood 
Family Barber shop - 
*No Hablos Ingles*


I told her in my best broken Spanish 
Just make it short and cute and 
I will love it. Promise. 

A couple of Pinterest pics letter, 
I walked out with one of the 
Best haircuts I’ve ever had. 


Wanted some Chinese Food
Right next door. 
Gotta love local hotspots!
I like supporting small business. 


Messy. The sauce always leaks. 
It never DOES NOT leak. 


I always have Buyers Remorse. 
I could have made this much better. 
Better oils. Better spices. 
More meat. Less soy. 
And better price. 
And no mess in the car. 
Live and learn. 
The sauce might as well be candy. 

The haircut turned out great. 
I think stylists like women
Who use color because it shows 
I at least have some sense of hair. 
And I have a lot of hair. 
Thick full hair. 
So I’ll never complain!

back to work


I had a great nurse. 
BamBam Mc Fergus. 
I’d give him a Daisy Award. 
But he would try to eat it. 


He left his perch to tend to me. 
I built this space for them. 
FM Classical music 24/7. 
Heating pad (on low). 
Window ledge seat for viewing.  
I keep the Catnip in a drawer
 so they’re always nearby. 


I felt good. I actually cooked. 
I used the Instant Pot
First time since July 
When I got COVID. 

The carrots and potatoes 
are for the FlatMate. Peace Offering. 
Cold weather and soups.
 I used like 3 pounds of beef. 
Hearty, matey!

Although the red, waxy potatoes 
Aren’t a problem for my glucose. 
[Says the Nurse who ate too much 
Halloween candy just a few days ago!]


Meal Prep at its finest. 
One for now. One for later. 
One to share. Two to freeze. 
Meal Prep doesn’t have to mean 
you eat the same thing every day. 
That’s where a freezer comes in. 


Nurse Joseph. Most cuddly. 
Most green eyes. 


His problem is he likes to sit 
On a chest. A nice soft pillow chest.!  ðŸ‘€ 
And couldn’t have him do that. 
The pain from this recent bout 
Was like having a knife go in
And turn it all around. It was excruciating!

From what I understand,
(Since there’s not much else it could be)
It is the stomach slipping up through
Where the esophagus is. 
No one can tell me why. 
Tons of reflux. Bile. Yuck. 
I never want to be that sick again. 
It’s the lowest point. 
Rock Bottom is always a surprise 
When you think it can’t  get any lower-
It often does. 


Turn back the clocks. 
Extra hour of sleep. 

Hope this is  the last time. 
I hope they get it right. 
But with the conflicts we have
In Congress and the Senate-
I’m not holding my breath. 
They’ll vote against it - 
Just because they can. 

Plus, time is completely arbitrary. 


Broth. Bone broth. 
Beef Bone Broth. 
Thanks to paleo, and keto,
You can get this in any store. 


Added 2 eggs, drizzled in
Over the back of a spoon-
And viola! Egg DropSoup!
More protein. 
Added Sesame Oil and Liquid Aminos. 


I couldn’t eat or drink anything 
without it coming right back up. 
(TMI- sorry!)
So I did what any experienced Faster
Would do. I Dry Fasted. 
I had no food or water.  
I took about 2 or 3 ounces to take my pills with. 

This is my 3rd time medically dry fasting  
A little bug went though the house
Once when I was with the baby. 
I spiked a temp at work 102.8 F. 
Like 39. 4 C. 
 So I went home and went to bed. 
And dry fasted 36 hours and was done. 

Same with COVID. I dry fasted. 
Actually went outside in the sun - dry fasted. 
And now this. 42 hours with just a few 
sips of water. I guess you have to be 
Somewhat healthy to fast at all. 
And especially to dry fast. 
But it changes you, once you do it. 

Me not knowing what’s going on. 
And me not caring if I know-
Or not! 
I lost 4 pounds. Total.  Lol. 
Thanks, Shingrix! 
It was 5 pounds, but you always gain 
when you add food back.
