I am freshly back from the hospital and that adenosine stress test. I did not experience any chest pain during the test, which is A Very Good Sign. We (the husband and I) are quite happy about this. We are less happy about the raging headache left by drug they used to...

See any morning people around here? Yeah, neither do I. For the record, I am a night owl. I do my best writing at about 1 am. My doctor scheduled that adenosine stress test for 8 am. You may laugh, but I’ve had to spend this week walking my schedule back so I...

Thanks to SH (that’s Stupid Hip, the one that blew when my bicycle flipped out from under me in September 2005), I get to have an adenosine stress test next Friday, because I can no longer walk fast enough or long enough for a treadmill stress test. /le sigh I...

It’s growing as I type this. At about 4:35p, my husband made sure I was responding to him (because sometimes when I’m writing, it’s hard to get my attention), and left instructions on what to do with this thing: Then he headed out the door. Erm. Yes....

No sooner had I stepped into the shower this morning, when a spider the size of a beachball crawled up the inner shower curtain. So I did what any (self-respecting) arachnophobe would do: I screamed and thrashed. This, as you might imagine, attracted the attention of...

Little did I know in May 2012, when I sat down to write about a little girl splashing her peds in a sparkling brook on another planet, that her father and the woman he loved would take over the story. Or that I would end up in April 2014 writing about interprovincial...
