Adventures in medical care

by Karen on April 21, 2009

ambulance Just wanted to pop in for a moment to say I probably won’t be posting much for the rest of the week.

The reason being our daughter was hospitalized over the weekend after having a seizure.  She’s alright now (already back at school) but I’m still exhausted and would probably sleep this week away if I could, but there’s follow-ups to do and medicine to “instill”.

In the name of God, I abuse You

November 10, 2008

Since opening this blog there is one thing I’ve never really written about. My childhood. Especially my childhood after mother became a born again fundamentalist. I was about ten years old when that happened and she was dead by the fall of my 14th year.  By the time of her death she considered me the [...]

She calls me Max

October 13, 2008

And it’s a very good thing that I’m cute, because with all the foot biting, arm gnawing, leg chewing and plant digging I do when I’m not trying to take on the neighbour’s Pomeranian, it’s a wonder a particular resident of the house I’ve adopted hasn’t evicted my little orange butt. Did I mention I [...]

Many a long & lonesome highway

October 8, 2008

I recently re-installed Messenger after a few years or so and found out it now comes with a music player.  I found the old[er] country station with ease and was soon listening to one of my favourite songs, “Long and Lonesome Highway” by Rodney Crowell.

An overheard conversation

Awakened Atheists

April 9, 2007

I just found a great comment over at Unscrewing the Inscrutable by Hank Fox and thought I’d share a part that hit home with me: But an Awakened Atheist? I don’t think there’s any way such a person could ever let religion back into his/her life. After you get religion out of your head, after [...]

Sympathy for the devil

April 3, 2007

Have you ever been put in a situation where you’re forced to side with someone you really don’t care for? I’m in that kind of situation with my maternal aunt this morning. I’ve written about my aunt before and could probably write a book on the various run-ins we’ve had over the years. To some [...]
