The fog has lifted, so to speak. It turns out that I have a raging sinus infection, which certainly explains why I was just getting worse and worse and why I would sleep for ten hours a day and still be completely exhausted and why I felt like I was walking around underwater and why […]
A Fabulous New Weight Loss Plan!
January 9, 2012 by
I have a fabulous plan for all of you who wish to lose a couple of pounds as per your New Year’s Resolutions. First, come and hang out with me while I cough and hack away and – presumably – pass this very weird virus on to you. Next, wait until the virus settles into […]
Inspiring!
January 7, 2012 by
This weird little Christmas holiday virus seems to be the gift that keeps on giving – every day it’s a new and different symptom, and although I am feeling better – i.e., functional – I am far from being my usual energetic and healthy self. For example, my cough is now almost all gone but my […]
