it’s back

March 17th, 2010

What is wrong with me? I think I have vertigo again. This time for real. I’ve got that “things are moving” feeling and my left ear is kind of hot. Going to the immediate care clinic to get checked out. I hope it goes away since tomorrow we embark on our ski trip.

viviparous tomato

January 12th, 2010

On Monday, I ate a viviparous tomato. I wish I took a picture of it because it was extremely bizarre. I did not eat the sprouts because I didn’t know if they would be safe to eat. If I find another one, I’ll take a picture.

while away

January 17th, 2009

Last week Friday and also this past Friday, I got together with the girls to crochet and knit together. It’s a good relaxing time for us women to just chat and make neat things with yarn. However, this means I am not home all day. Last night when I returned, I found that Hans has [...]

not again

December 23rd, 2008

A couple of years ago, I got vertigo. It was a bad experience and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Just a day or two ago, I started getting slight spinning feelings again. I very much hope that the vertigo is not coming back.

karate chop

October 13th, 2008

This past Saturday, we stayed at a friend’s house. I went to bed because I was tired. I have no idea when Hans went to sleep. We were on opposite sides than how we usually sleep. In the morning, Hans’ alarm went off and almost immediately after, I feel a karate chop on my neck. [...]

dragonfly

June 5th, 2008

While walking to lunch today, Becca was about to swat at my head, but stopped short. She realized that the bug she saw out of the corner of her eye was actually a dragonfly, which had situated itself on my hair. “Oh, how pretty.” was her reaction. It was described to me as one of [...]

fourth week

April 21st, 2008

This was the fourth week of class. There is not much time in a quarter to do everything. I was in class today, enjoying the weekly lecture and discussion, when a policeman came in to tell us to evacuate the building immediately. WHAT?? So we all walked down eleven flights of stairs. I was pissed [...]

hand cramp

September 25th, 2006

Before there were computers, or even typewriters for that matter… (Hans says, “there were monks, living in monasteries,” but that’s not what I’m getting at here) I wrote with pens and pencils. I colored with crayons and markers. I made random marks with paintbrushes. These were outpourings of thought and expression. Every mark meant something. [...]

ants

September 19th, 2006

I arrived and work this morning and while settling in, my ear was itchy. I scratched it, then noticed there was an ant on my finger! Where did that come from!??! It is dead now. =(

look ma! i’m taller!

June 9th, 2006

Interesting phenomenon this morning. I grew. No, not wider (thank goodness), but TALLER! The last time I grew was back in seventh or eigth grade. Ah, yes, that was about 13 years ago! While brushing my teeth, I stood next to my mom and had this sensation which prompted me to state, “I feel tall.” [...]
