No, I'm not about to break into the theme song from "9 to 5"! Although I did see that move multiple times while I was working at my very first "real" job, as an assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the librarian at the UMKC Dental School Library, way back … Continue reading Yawn, stretch, try to come alive!
Walking
Is that gal EVER going to update her verkakte blog??
It's probably true, as both nutrition experts and fat positive activists have warned for decades, that there's no perfect diet, that most people who try to lose weight wind up regaining it all and then some, and that, frankly, most people (mostly women!) who think their bodies aren't "perfect," are really just great the way … Continue reading Is that gal EVER going to update her verkakte blog??
Slow running and bad poetry, all in one place!
Hey, everyone! Sorry, I know I've been remiss in posting on my super wildly popular blog here at WordPress. But today I'll remedy that omission by telling you that not only did I do a really nice, long (for me!) run today (over 5,000 steps/1.5 miles, thankyouverramuch!), I also composed the following horrible poem when … Continue reading Slow running and bad poetry, all in one place!
It’s all behind me now!
Hey, everyone! Yes, that's right, my colonoscopy and all the associated prep has passed through my system and now I can relax for another 10 years till the next one! Although I'd like to believe they'll come up with something a little more, shall we say, dignified by then? Or at least less invasive! But … Continue reading It’s all behind me now!
Doing another charity walk, yahoo!
Hey, everyone! Would you believe a SUNDAY blog post? Haven't done that in a dog's age, eh? Anyway, I'm making this a quickie to let you know that I've signed up to do the two-mile walk version of the "Miles for Migraine" 5K in Los Angeles (technically, Encino!) on Saturday, November 12, 2022! If you've … Continue reading Doing another charity walk, yahoo!
Friday is for cleanup!
Hey, everyone! Didja miss me yesterday? Well, I didn't miss you! Okay, okay, I don't mean you *personally,* just blogging in general! I know I got you all used to Thursday being the "new" blogging day, and now here I am on Friday?? https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfVsfOSbJY0 And now you've got that song stuck in your head. Sorry! … Continue reading Friday is for cleanup!
Told ya!
Hey, everyone! As I mentioned last week, I didn't do a Wednesday blog post this week, for the first time in, oh, however long it's been since I've been doing this verkakte blog! I almost didn't do a Thursday post either, since I just got home from a long drive to a doctor who, TBH, … Continue reading Told ya!
Good morning, world! Time for a cancer update!
Hey, guess what? It's been five months plus one day since my lumpectomy! So I thought I'd just let you know how I'm doing, boob-wise. My scar is still very visible but seems to be healing nicely. Actually, I have two of them, one right on the booby itself and one under the arm from … Continue reading Good morning, world! Time for a cancer update!
My new diet: eat whatever you want, any time you want!
So hey, everyone, don't know if you remember a few years ago when I was touting the "No S Diet," invented by Reinhardt Engels. He's an engineer so it MUST be good, right? The basic premise was (and still is, I'm pretty sure!) that you eat three meals a day with no snacks, sweets, or … Continue reading My new diet: eat whatever you want, any time you want!
Balancing “Body Positivity” with “Ouch, my bones!”
Well, howdy, friends, relatives, and well-wishers! As promised last week, I've got some thoughts on what to do now that my breast cancer seems to be cured. To whit, my weight! Long-time readers may recall that last November, when I transitioned the blog from "weight loss" to "all cancer, all the time" like Debbie Downer … Continue reading Balancing “Body Positivity” with “Ouch, my bones!”
