Generally, if you choose and seek out good health, it takes a lot of work. Bad health is easy – you don’t care what you put in your body, you eat what you want. It is very passive. But living that way has consequences, causes all sorts of health problems…and the usual solution to those [...]

Living with a dragon

My whole life, I’ve had skin problems, mostly eczema, and food allergies. When I was very little, I couldn’t eat chocolate, dairy, among other things. Those are the ones I remember the most. I always had to sleep with a humidifier in the winter and an AC in the summer to keep my skin from [...]

Like Belly dancing! Go on, I dare you.
I am starting belly dancing lessons tonight!
I will be taking lessons once a week with some ladies and friends from work (there might be other people there, but I think we are the majority of the class).
It is something I have always wanted to try, I [...]
You are what you eat

Like many, many people out there, I have food allergies, so I always have to think about what I eat. It doesn’t define me, but it does mean I have to check the ingredient labels, and then double-check, for everything I eat. It means I often have to say no to food that people offer [...]
Today is an apple cinnamon oatmeal/banana/sweet potato (eaten separately of course!) kind of day — a day with sweet tasting foods, rich in color, rich in healthy for me stuff, but all easy on the stomach and GI. Today is a drink lots of water day. Well, as a mermaid, most days are drink lots [...]
The best laid plans of mice and mermaids

So, since my last post, things changed from my original intention for my trip north.
My mother has two new compression fractures in her spine, for a total of four now. She had a grand mal seizure two and a half years ago, and then after a number of normal brain tests, she was taken off [...]
A rant against “traditional” medicine

Warning — this post will contain health information (I will keep it fairly toned down) and rants directed at the “traditional” medicine system in place in the United States, as it relates to certain health problems. If you don’t want to read about health stuff, you might want to duck out now.

In the past [...]
I am constantly amazed at our bodies. They are really brilliant machines when you think about everything it does.
My little skin growing army has been busy working on my palms and my knees. Every day when I change my bandages, I encourage the little army, saying Grow skin Grow! One palm is actually looking healed [...]
fell really badly running today. hurt my palms a lot, hurt my wrist and my forearm (and hurt my knees a fair amount but that doesn’t relate to blogging)
hurts to type. posts will be light for the next few days

I think I am in love with you. I am certainly in joy and in happiness and in gratitude with you.
You see, you understand me. You understand food allergies — not able to eat gluten, not able to eat dairy. You understand that just because I have food allergies, that shouldn’t mean I don’t get [...]
