I Am Alive…I Think
November 1st, 2011
Hey, you! Have you been looking for me? At least pretend you were. Jeez, give my ego a boost. So what has happened in the last almost 2 months? Um… Lots of funny shit with the kids, that’s for sure. I mean, they are a HOOT. Punksin passed her swimming level and is now in [...]
Say Hello to Lexapro!
October 13th, 2010
So, did the doctor thing yesterday evening. My last tweet just prior to leaving was asking whether it was okay to show up at a doctor’s appointment drunk. So, I sat in there and talked about my fucking feelings and thoughts and all that other bullshit, and the first thing she nailed is that I [...]
Upswing in the Medication
October 6th, 2010
Several months ago when I went in for my long-overdue physical, my doctor gave me a scrip for Ativan, for the relief of the anxiety I anticipated having when we next went on a plane. Here we are, about 8 months later, and I have not been on a plane from then to now. And [...]
Sometimes, Shit DOES Happen…And It’s Hard To Deal With
September 4th, 2010
Update on the Pudding butt impasse: He did poop. Two days ago. He did not poop yesterday. So far today, nada. I can’t blame him. The poop that he did manage to push out was so hard and uncomfortable that I swear he got a taste of what it was like for me to push [...]
The Return of Godzuki
April 23rd, 2009
Pudding is back. It has been a rough few days in our house. Earlier in the week, maybe on Monday, he lay down for a nap, woke up, and hurled all over the place. And then continued this most ungentlemanly behavior for the rest of the afternoon, evening and well into the wee hours. By [...]
Coughing and Sniffing and Sneezing, Oh My!
February 25th, 2008
We have all been sick. ALL of us. First Punksin was sick. As you may recall, though, it was a light cough here, a runny nose there, and she was pretty much done. Her father, her brother and I, on the other hand, have not fared so well. Pudding has sneezed out such copious amounts [...]
Coughing Like A Smoker
December 6th, 2007
You know you’re coughing too much and too hard, when a cough hurts your abs. That’s what happened to Punksin, who has started complaining and crying out in real pain whenever she coughs. It’s tough to see her that pained. She is a drama queen extraordinaire so I get frequent doses of melodrama daily. This [...]
Why I Hate Winter
December 5th, 2007
Because it’s cold, and because it brings colds. Punksin has had 2 colds already. The first one started in the beginning of November and long after the fever and dripping nose departed, she had this annoying – to her, not me – cough that made its strongest showing, as coughs perversely do, at night. It [...]
