23 May 2018 - How do you know if...

... it's allergies or a cold? How do you know if your geographic tongue is caused by a vitamin deficiency or your allergic reaction? How do you know if it's a migraine or a sinus headache? Ya, it's one of those days. About a week and a half ago, I had dinner with a friend and the next morning I woke up to a swollen throat and tingly tongue, very typical allergy type reaction for me. I imagined that there was some shellfish in the food we ate that I didn't know about. But, the reaction persisted. I started to retain water, and my hair has been falling out more than usual. I decided to look up a recent change in a prescription of mine and found these all to be side effects of this new medicine. I have yet to email my doctor because: (1) the water retention (and therefore dehydration) is subsiding (2) my throat swelling turned into geographic tongue and now into a full on sinus-y issue (3) I want to be doubly sure my hair is reacting as I think it is and not ju...

I've had a lot of thoughts running through my head this week, any one of which could be a post.

So, here they are... 25 thoughts without commentary and in no particular order: Having a "me" day is okay.  One should never have to apologise for their feelings.  Perspective, while very important, doesn't always tell us the full story. Perspective can change the facts of a story.  Perspective can change.  Jamming out to one album for an entire week is perfectly fine.  I am human.  You are human.  Conversation cannot happen if one or more parties is unwilling.  snailmail is awesome.  postcards are awesome.  writing in a different language's script is a fun first activity in the morning.  I am not a huge  fan of the ukulele.   No one ...
