I'm sitting in the emergency waiting room at St. Mary's. (Yes I can use electronic devices, there's even a sign.). ; ) This afternoon as I was giving an assembly at school my right side felt numb. My feet have been tingly for a few days and my arms go numb at night. I really felt it today so I decided I should get it checked out. This morning I was at an ear nose and throat doctor's office about to pay $250 to have my vocal chords examined; I may have chronic acid reflux disease. My dad does, and he also has poor circulation which led to a stroke, so I better get things straightened out. I decided to see the same doctor at the hospital, where it'll be free. As I sat here writing in my mini-moleskin just a moment ago, it occurred to me that maybe I reveal too much on this blog. Perhaps my throat is so irritated (beyond any very real medical condition), because I share too much. The throat chakra (voice) is on overdrive and I am suffering as a result. So

Let's be honest here.  As much as I might enjoy writing about health and inspiration, I have far more interesting things to say about my love life than my digestive tract.  It's also more entertaining to read about.  So here goes. I've always had reservations about dating a stand-up comic just in case I might fart in public and wind up the butt of a joke at a later date.  Or worse.  So I guess it's hard to date me now, because I'm probably going to write about it.  I feel like I've developed certain standards in posting though, and positivity tops the list.  Even if I have a bad day, I want to find at least one good thing I learned, and that does the trick. I have been thinking a lot about people in my life that "were meant to be."  When I first started dating D, I believed that there was really something worth exploring and that he came into my life for a reason.  Although we have decided to pursue a friendship at this point, I was confused as to

I've been seeing windows where there are none lately.  It's happened to me twice, once today and once yesterday, that I thought I saw a window but it was something else. Today it was in a restaurant and it turned out to be a fridge and yesterday it turned out to be a poster about composting, at Santropol Roulant.  Both times it appeared to be sunny out. What does it all mean friends?  Am I seeing opportunities where there are none?  Do I need to open the blinds and take a real look at what's going on around me?  Do I just need to get out more?  What? That's all I've got for you.  For once... I'm actually stumped by what the universe is showing me.  Maybe I need to get my eyes checked or maybe I need to pay better attention, but either way... Stumped. Thoughts? Sometimes, I really think the music that is lined up for you after a song on youtube is really meant to be listened to. LCD Soundsystem, Katie

You know you've been single for a long time when the restaurants you used to frequent have all changed their menus. This morning Davey and I went out for breakfast at a local diner, B & M.  A little classier than a diner really, but that's the layout.  He ordered a Belgian waffle with raspberries and I got a vegetarian omelet.  It was decent, I was really looking forward to having jam on toast, and that was the deciding factor when contemplating breakfast options.  I guess you don't really deserve toast with French toast... seems kind of redundant. Anyhow, a lot of old people come for breakfast on Sundays.  I'm sure that's the case for most restaurants, but  for this one in particular it seems.  I'm sitting there, alternating sips of coffee and bites of omelet when I watch a couple in their late 80s shuffle past a table with a young family.  2 boys and a high chair.  The old man brushes his hand over the top of the baby's head and continues on toward
