In Sickness

Brandon has been sick all weekend. And probably will be off his feet for a few more days. He has been trying to cut down on his sodas. So it was hard to figure out last week if his headache was a withdrawal headache, a migraine (which he does get occasionally), or a sinus pressure headache. By Friday it was apparent that it was his sinus. Imagine quarter your head from middle of the top of your head down to your cheekbones and out your face. That’s the area that hurts him and more so when he leans forward or...

Manic Friday

My brain refuses to shut off. I am simultaneously working on plotting the route to the Port of Long Beach boat tour tomorrow, then what to take to the Long Beach Tweet Up potluck tomorrow night.

I surprised everyone there...

Poor Shaheen.  I was rooting for you, kid!...

I can haz!

Tuesday marked my first week anniversary for being a metal mouth.  And I ated a cheeseburger. Oh yeah, I have a new blog set up for just that at Brace Face Chronicles. Someone questioned if I should need another blog. I would answer with one of these. Because I can just have one concentrated area to bitch and moan all about my inability to eat or the pain the braces hath brought.  Because I can share the experience with other adults who are now getting their braces…or like me, getting them again for a second time. * At a recent...
