This update is also going to my newsletter subscribers, so if you’d rather read all this in your inbox, you can subscribe by going to the “Join My Mailing List” link above. Have I mentioned that I’ve started using WordPress’s Blocks editor to write my blog posts after using the classic editor for so long?…

Sundry
I’m not sure why this is happening to me, but by my estimate I’ve now received five spam emails over the course of a year advertising “quick and easy” sex changes. This is not something I’ve pondered. This is not something I’ve ever hunted for online. I’ve never inquired into the possibility with my physician,…
The 300(+)
Sigh. Despite walking at least 3,000 steps per day (far short of my goal of 5,000, granted), and despite writing down everything I’ve eaten, and sticking within my Weight Watchers Points range, I somehow managed to gain three pounds since I posted my entry last week. That puts me back over three hundred pounds, which sucks….
And This Time, I Mean It!
Here I am, staring the half century mark in the face. Which of us will blink first? Anyway, I’m not actually freaking out about turning fifty years old. I didn’t freak out when I turned thirty, nor when I turned forty. Why should fifty be any different? I do recognize that I’m very fortunate that…
What My Lungs Have Been Up To (Etc.)
They told me I would probably grow out of my asthma. They were wrong. It’s true that my asthma is much better now than it was when I was an adolescent. Far gone are the days when I was swinging by the emergency room once or twice or three times a year to get a…
I Suppose I Ought to Blog
I have a blog, theoretically, and once in awhile I post to it. I’m going to make a goal of posting at least once a week, but who knows how long that will last. Who knows indeed. I have Thoughts and Things to share, some of which might be of interest to both of my…
A Wee Update, and A Question For You
Since I posted on the 29th, where I weighed in at over 300 pounds, I’ve lost six. I’ve also undergone the first of three Bronchial Thermoplasty procedures. Five days on, I’m still wheezing and short of breath, although the physician who performed the procedure tells me I’m actually doing quite well. It’s still a chore…
Well, then. Wheeze. Pant. Etc.
Next Thursday, I’m going in for the first of three sessions of a procedure known as “bronchial thermoplasty“, meant to improve my asthma, which has been flaring up irresponsibly since I had a respiratory infection about three months ago. When I went to my pulmonologist last week to discuss the procedure, he waggled his finger…
[A-Z] T is for Thumb
A brief entry for you tonight. Then two entries tomorrow. Then the [A-Z] blogging challenge will be over. At any rate, have you ever had a hangnail? The kind that turns your finger an ugly red color when you accidentally snag it on something, or slip when you cut it off with a pair a…
