So it’s been a bit of a rough ride. Sorry to’ve slipped out of touch. High. On, yes, a new thing. The little health embarrassment – that minor unable to breathe thing, you know – has cleared up muchly thanks to, well, drugs. Plus clean living, I suppose, but its not as if that’s all [...] Wednesday I finally got in to see the doctor. I was subsequently sitting at Costco waiting for my shiny new prescriptions to be filled when the distinguished-looking older Latino gentleman sitting near me said to me, “Excuse me, but has anybody ever told you you look like that actor dude?” The answer is, depends on which [...] OK, so actually I am cultivating in myself unguarded optimism: straight-ahead, all-out, no-pants, face-in-the-wind optimism. This is the image that called to mind, yes? If not, feel free to thank me. Gratuities gratefully accepted. Because I find that, if I believe without reservation that I can make the future a better place for myself and those [...] So my difficulty with the trifling activity I like to call “breathing” continues. Yesterday, after trying to get in to see my doctor – whom I hadn’t been able to get in to see for a very long time, owing to colossal wait times (although since this is a pretty severe issue I might get seen [...] So I can mostly breathe again. Got a bit … dicey. When our summer wildfires filled Albuquerque’s air with the most intense smoke and other assorted particulate nastiness I’ve ever experienced for weeks on end I wound up having some severe problems breathing – hence sleeping. Which puts something of a crimp into my productivity. Also [...] Toast. Yes, toast. Just now – for the first time in well over a year – I enjoyed a piece of toast. Warm, buttery, tasty toast. And you know what’s really cool? I did not break my low starch/low sugar eating habit. I didn’t even bend it. This toast is dead-center for la Vida Low-Starch which I am [...] I don’t, actually. Wait! No worries – no bad thing. The fact is I don’t like standing. Never have. I don’t like to sit upright, either. Walking, reclining, lying down – fine with those. Indeed I do almost all my writing, professional or online, sitting back in a recliner given me by none other than That American [...] A year ago I came back from a very dark place, speaking figuratively. And began a new life. In what amounted to a new house. On February 27th, 2010, I went to the emergency room, and from there into UNM Hospital. Along with life-threatening physical conditions (at least three, in fact) I was diagnosed as suffering from [...] So it may seem completely counterintuitive – especially to those of you with non-Southwestern tummies – that I might respond to cruds marked by mild but persistent nausea by throwing down a bunch of New Mexican food drenched in hot green chile. But … I just did. And while I still feel fairly crappy, I feel [...] Fortunately, my odds look good of leaving 2010 on my own two feet, with quiet smile and head held high. |
