Based on my cycle tracking, I suspect that I may have ovulated last weekend.  I don't know for sure, mainly because of the timing of my IUD removal and the earlier than expected LMP/withdrawal bleed.  Sunday morning, Husband and I bid each other good-bye and he drove me to the airport. On Monday, the first… Continue reading Body Talks

An Unpleasant Reminder

February 5, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

It was one o'clock in the morning and I found myself sitting erect and uncomfortable on the couch in my living room.  My night clothes were in a messy heap near my feet and I had placed my warm, clammy, naked body against the cool leather of the furniture.  The coolness made me feel better,… Continue reading An Unpleasant Reminder

Night Time Attack

September 28, 2014 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

For some reason I have most of my anxiety attacks at night. I am (was?) having one right now. I don't know why they always hit me at night - usually waking me up from my sleep. It used to be that I would have them on the nights before I was on call and… Continue reading Night Time Attack

The Bathroom Floor

August 8, 2014August 8, 2014 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

It was Wednesday night and the clouds rolled in fast.  Just a few hours earlier we were sitting on the back deck eating dinner.  I didn't have much of an appetite, but I was ambitious and I made chicken souvlaki skewers on the BBQ, corn-on-the-cob, and I served it with store bought quinoa salad.  Of… Continue reading The Bathroom Floor

Becoming a Little Obsessed

February 25, 2014May 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

Since I entered into this world of chronic, persistent nausea, I feel like I have become more pre-occupied with it.  In general, most people hate nausea, and most people hate the end point of nausea.  However, I would go so far as to say that I am afraid of nausea, and I most likely have… Continue reading Becoming a Little Obsessed

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
