Dyed in the Wool
How did it get to be mid-May already? Time for a hair update. It really doesn’t look any different than last month and you still don’t really notice the grayness from a front-facing photo (never […]
Mostly Me
Matted
With age comes wisdom, ok, maybe not, but I would say that with age comes the realization that nothing is truly new. Something’s only new if you didn’t experience it the first time ‘round. So, […]
Smear Campaign
After receiving news of my gazillionth abnormal pap smear, I now await my gazillionth (realistically more like 15th or 16th—I’ve lost track) colposcopy/biopsy. I know bodies are resilient (and that biopsy samples are tiny) but […]

The Future is Now
Ok, here’s a perfect example of my increasing dementia. I just got off phone with my doctor’s office after being on hold a million years. When I finally got a human I stated “I need […]
Thanks for the Memories
Do you think it’s possible for medication to cause memory loss? Because diet, exercise, smoking cessation and even a 2008 25-pound weight loss seem no match for crap genes, I’ve been taking blood pressure medication […]
