Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me... I always let the helium float that hand up and say yes. I know better. Dayam. I knew better when I did the 2 charters for Stormgods. It burned me out for weeks. My disabilities and helium hand do NOT mix. There's more than one reason I had to stay home from Stormgods. I knew better this time. But I'd promised Eleanor a charter for this reign and it

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me... Really. Luckily the black plague only visited for a few weeks and left awhile back. If you are squeamish about stuff, you might want to stop reading now. This is a gross pictures alert. But truly, it was like a train wreck that got worse every day. I couldn't hold anything, and I couldn't stop poking at it or taking pictures. The first few days

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I hate being this cliche. EVERYONE blogs about losing their animals. EVERYONE blogs about losing family. I think I did that too...maybe. That one hit much harder, for longer, and still hits on a daily basis so maybe I didn't...I don't really remember right now.  But EVERYONE blogs about their dead pets...I'm going to too...

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me... I've had low blood sugar, migraines, colitus, acid reflux, back problems, and high blood pressure since my mid teens. Fibro in my late teens. Chronic fatigue, hyperthyroid, thoracic outlet, and carpal tunnel in both hands in my late twenties. I got pregnant and my migraines went to clusters and then daily clusters.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me... Presented by HL Sannan Cairngorne of Hauksgarðr October 9, 2010 The Victorians called it Floriography. We call it the "Language of Flowers." To the Ancient and the Medieval mind, it was their gods, or God revealing himself or herself to them. We have fairly standard lists of meanings nowadays between the internet and florists.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I am, as those overly PC people put it, "differently-abled." I've railed against it, against my genetics, against gods, and all involved.Most people don't get it because it's invisible. Over the years I've commiserated with others in similar situations because they too, understand...that's why I'm frustrated and get pissed off when they blithely

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I made this eye bead necklace for my eye surgeon. Dr Rebecca Armour at Casey Eye Institute. She's great. Gave me back most of my vision. Eye beads have been used in history as talisman's to protect from the "evil eye" which is why the theme is so common in beads. ;DSo many cultures thought that you could illwish through the evil eye. Also, beads in

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I'm getting tired of posting these updates...and I'm sure others are tired of reading them.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I had a call on Sunday from the on call doctor that I went to see on Saturday for the decreased vision in the eye with the cataract replacement. I guess I was the subject of a confab of doctors. General consensus ended up being that I was to continue to double up the steroid eye drops for the rest of the day but then taper off that evening. But I

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...Today I got the scare of my life...my vision started to decrease again in the eye they just did surgery on. I spent 4 hours pacing and rereading, or failing to read, the same set of letters.I finally called the on call opthamologist. We had to go down there and meet him at Casey Eye. He was a sweetheart and looked up and down and all around in the

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...It's happened. They cut my eye open like some cavier on a plate... really they did.I just had to forget that I don't get numb very quickly under the administration of local anesthetic. Ooops!Felt every cut of the knife as they cut around the cornea to lift it so they could free up the scarring around my pupil. I felt that cutting around the outside

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...No, that is not a pretty starry planet...that is the starry form the retinal scarring took in my eye as of last February. The picture was kindly supplied by Casey Eye for me so I could show the few people who are bored enough to read my blog what it looked like. ;D The next one down is what it looked like in November.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I was told that I had to post. Something about keeping people updated and making people feel like I'm including them in my life...Not that I don't want to include people in my life, but I just don't dwell well on stuff.

I knew much less of fighting then, having never marshalled or gotten into armor myself.We went through a breakup as lovers do... I then had

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...To those who have been following the progress, or lack thereof...the cataract surgery is a no-go, at least until after Christmas it looks like. Not like I was really looking forward to somebody that looks young enough to almost be my daughter at this point approaching my eye with a laser and breaking up the lens in the back of my eye.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I had a great time last night, and last weekend, the weekend before, and the weekend before that...All this summer socializing packed into a few weekends of seeing people I'd known for years and finally catching up because we all are in the right place, and space, at the right time.

I'm not sure my kids do, but what do they know? I'm the one that has to try to cook in this heat. And they're always the ones who complain I'm trying to overfeed them.So I thought I'd share a recipe I just came up with that tastes pretty good.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I always thought that losing mental capacity, and knowing it, would be the worst disability to face and deal with. It's tough, it's grueling, and it makes you feel like an idiot most of the time, but you learn to live with it. Pain has this wonderful tendency to cut your cognitive abilities by large amounts and your brain functions become all about

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...The eye, something they are calling uveitus is still decreasing my visual field to half. I've been referred into another pain clinic to let them put me through their paces and see if any new treatment stuff pops out. Not holding out much hope, but it's bad enough that I've got to spend some real time and effort to see if they can do anything that

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...The pain's been bad, life has been hectic (gee, maybe the two are related?) I've got Iritus in my left eye and have had since late August-early September and am a bit concerned about trying to clear it up and maybe save the sight in that eye. But I'm not typical...my eye isn't all red an nasty looking...as usual I just don't look sick. Good or bad?

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...What is the impulse that humans have to do cutesy things to their pets around the holidays? And the things they put on themselves are even worse! lolWe followed the trend this year. I couldn't help it, there was an evil genius at work.I thought my 13 year old cat would be the grumpiest about this, because she likes NOTHING! Instead, she was very

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...It's snowing; it's been snowing; it is supposed to keep snowing. Unlike my daughter, I like snow. I just feel so rushed this holiday that I feel like it is cutting into my already short supply of time. It doesn't help that I'm trying to actually SLEEP for, like, 8 or so hours a day, even if it's in snatches.The pain induced insomnia is a bitch, and

I asked on Known Worlde Scribal lists about wording, and got no good answer so I proceeded to deal with it myself."Unto the Most Noble Alfric

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...But then I have friends with such insightful things to say! I am finally caught up on all the blogs I try to follow...I think.I have to apologize for being out of it for the last few weeks. My eyesight is pretty well shot and my cold is still lingering.We did manage to get to an SCA event this last weekend. It's been one we've looked forward to,

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...even though the Goddess of Everything is a very nice lady, she is a strict taskmistress. (NO, not in any BD/S&M way! get your minds back up in the gutter with the rest of us...where it's crowded!)She actually reminded me that it's been almost a month/over a month since I posted. I'm still sick, the kids are still around and Rick hasn't left me yet.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I wish I had one. I'm about a month into my yearly 3 to 4 months of cold, flu, and general malaise. I really should have gotten those flu and pneumonia shots this year. I think they cut the time I was sick last year by about half.I run constantly to not even stay afloat. Crap. All of us have so much going on that none of us are getting enough

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I don't know whether I feel ecstatic or panicked. The girl was working out a costume at the last minute and wanted me to help her sew something. Yuk! I dislike sewing intensely, but the thought of digging my sewing machine out of the pile of stuff that has accumulated on it since my dear husband decided to rearrange my living room....no and hell no.

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I'm doing my fall/winter sickness thing again this year. Hmmm...I probably shouldn't have put off going to the doctor and getting that pneumonia and flu shot they recommended, huh? I seem to have been nothing but sick for the last month. Between the physical malaise, the mental kicking myself and the constant pain I have been fairly unproductive.I

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I'm still fighting that cold, but I looked at some of the blogs I follow, and was extremely disturbed by this:Since when do people running for office in a country that supposedly believes in the separation of church and state hold a prayer that denigrates one of the largest growing religious segments in the country?Obviously, now.I am so scared about

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...Not that there's anything particularly full of mystique about my family...just the felines. :)It's been awhile. I've been fighting the dreaded winter cold and have had a REALLY bad week, pain-wise. It's always a Catch-22 when one thing goes south...everything else jumps on board for the ride.

But there is one movie out there that has the greatest rap song EVER in it! I'm kidding, but I found it amusing. It's amazing what you can find on YouTube. :)My dear hubby brought home the flick from the video store for me years ago.

Or those ones with the strange edges.The only problem with puzzling has been having the room to lay out the pieces. When we lost the house and moved into so much smaller quarters, I lost the puzzle

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I'm procrastinating, badly. I realize it, and I'm trying to stop. I've had a place in my neck that's been out pretty badly for the past 3 months, and it makes it pretty easy to have an excuse to procrastinate. I have many charters from Kingdom and Summits that need to be painted. Luckily, my mom-in-law isn't as much of a procrastinator as I am. :)I

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...Did you know that scientists are discovering that cities once existed in the Amazon rain forest. And that these cities were as large as their European counterparts. At least up until 1500-500 years ago. Yes, they suspect that the owners were killed off by European disease. But what is amazing is that areas we think of as 'virgin' forest were in fact

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I remember hearing about the Dead Sea Scrolls when I was a kid, but I never had much of a clear idea of what they were. Yeah, they were written by dead prophets, a long time ago, and were translated on and off by scholars...so?[my dear husband, philistine that he is, just loves the quote about the scripture written by a bunch of old guys in a cave

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I have always hated venetian blinds as a window covering. They are ugly, dirty and awkward. Studying Feng Shui as I did a few years ago (didn't everyone?) I discovered a GREAT excuse for my hatred....They cut CHI! Make it sharp edged. NOT what you want to happen in your home or workplace; you want the energy to flow gently throughout.But after

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...For those who don't have internet savvy teenagers....ILTG stands for "I lost the game." The game is a silly activity that is kind of zen in its simplicity. If you think about it tilted on its side. :)There are only really 2 rules to this game. When you think about the game, you lose. When you lose, you announce it to those around you and they lose

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...The History Channel ran a show on Sunday, "The Secret History of Gangs." I think it carried less history than I'd have wished and less secrecy. The resulting show was sobering however. Here is a link to the Discovery Channel history of gangs.I was never poor and never lived in a ghetto as a kid and, unlike a great many, had two parents. I was

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...I got into an interesting conversation with the daughter. I was joking around in the kitchen and spouted off with, "This is not the knife you are looking for..." No hand gestures, no funny voice, just kinda talking to myself, and, thought-provoking child that she is, she piped up with, "It is amazing how much of a cultural reference, "Star Wars,"

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...The premise of this book sounds silly in the extreme: an 11,000 year old Atlantean god, born of mortals, and abused his entire mortal life, the lover of a virgin goddess, killed at the hands of her jealous brother on top of the body of his murdered sister and nephew. Who then goes on to save the world from a spoiled god's curse for the next 11,000

Some goddesses are puzzled by this...like me...Okay, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. A friend of mine did this in his blog and was puzzled by his result.
