Posts from ‘May, 2007’

Back in January 2006 I had an idea to write a series of entries on my previous blog about the people who have been a big influence on me and my life. I only actually wrote one entry before abandoning the idea. But it’s an idea that I’ve been thinking about resurrecting.
Then we [...]

It’s going well. I recommitted myself to weightloss last week after a slacking few weeks followed by a difficult week or two. And I lost five lb in the week.
Meaning my Tales from the Scale May Day Challenge total loss is now 6lb and my overall weight loss is 22lb.
I know 5lb in [...]

Can someone who understands You Tube explain how to post the videos here, in words of not more that one syllable? I thought I had it figured out but as the entry isn’t showing up it looks like I haven’t!
Thanks muchly!
Incidentally, I don’t think the computer likes me much today - that’s the second [...]

I don’t go to therapy to find out if I’m a freak
I go and I find the one and only answer every week
And it’s just me and all the memories to follow
Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour

Three weeks to go until I go on holiday and I am being extra committed this week. Those [...]

Rockin’ all over the world

Kathryn is hosting the next Disability Blog Carnival and has suggested the topic of “Family”. These are my thoughts on family and disability.
I’ve always been disabled and so I can’t comment on that aspect of the interaction between the two (acquiring a disability, I mean).
What I can tell you is that my sister is [...]

I’ve yet to do anything concrete about the situation with my care being stopped. But I have been thinking and wondering and researching.
No longer having care is something of a tempting idea. However it’s not a practical idea. I will always need some form of support system in place. It actually [...]

In hospitals they say you know, you know when you are going to die. Some doctors say it’s a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there’s a scent, a smell of death, some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it’s [...]
