I don’t ordinarily blog about the specifics of my work. I can talk a blue streak about social media and whatnot, which just happens to be what I do for a living, but I generally keep my work self and my self self pretty separate in the blogosphere.
But I would just like to mention [...]

Week 3: Down two pounds. Weight watchers is fussing at me for losing too fast, but I made a rather drastic change in how I approach food and exercise and I’m really not regretting it in the least. I know there’s a risk of my metabolism slowing down, but I don’t think that’s happening. My [...]

Temple at some point in the past year or so has restored its online archives for the Temple Times, of which I was associate editor between 2000 and 2004. I’m so happy about this, because it means I can restore that portion of my online clip file.
I discovered this when I had this random notion [...]

As a faithful user of wordpress, both its open-source and hosted versions (and in both senses of the word faithful), I can even stomach the navy blue.

Mad Priest should enjoy this one:
Church Announces Different Kind of ‘Comeback’But it’s not the headline so much as the deck:The Roman Catholic Church announced that it will exhume the body of Padre Pio, an Italian priest made a saint in 2002, to better conserve his remains.

Briefly, must come up and say howdy, because DFH made the most ironic funny, or the funniest irony, I’ve heard in ages. Bear in mind I’m an ally and card-carrying HRC and True Colors kinda gal, so I say this with a big grin on my face.
As we were coming home, driving into the valley [...]

Today I ordered speech recognition software, and when I went to my editor-in-chief to get the card to pay for it, she said “You know, Helen, maybe the almighty is trying to tell you something.”
This was right after my managing editor had said nearly the same thing.
Ok, I ask for help when posting ask the [...]

The alliteration was irresistable.
I forgot today was Friday, in spite of the fact that last night I knew today was Friday.

I lunched on lunch.
Sigh.

Well, after several visits to the chiropractor and doctor and a round of x-rays, my preliminary diagnosis is semi-worst-case scenario: spinal arthritis, and since that’s what has my dad in a wheelchair, it’s likely to be his rheumatoid arthritis.
More tests and hopefully a more definitive diagnosis later this month, as I’m seeing an orthopedist on [...]

For years, my C7 vertebrae has made a strange noise when I turn my head.
For about three weeks now, I’ve been having odd tinglenumbness (said she, queen of the neologisms) at the tip of my middle finger.
Now, for the past two days, I have a new symptom: a pain that stretches along my left triceps. [...]
