it's a convoluted mess
Life… Here’s the thing about life: It happens. Sometimes a whole lot of it happens all at once and leaves your mind spinning. When life happens, I feel compelled to write about it. I’m a writer and writing about life comes with the territory. It helps me work through the convoluted mess that is my brain. It helps me remember when things happened. But the problem I often run into is that there are certain… Keep reading…Things unseen…
1.) The thing about getting a tetanus shot every ten years…you have plenty of time to forget how much they suck. Over a week later and I still have a nasty bruise and a welt from the shot. But now I don’t need another one until the year 2026. WHAT. 2.) I went in for my annual physical and came out with three more appointments.

Actually at this very moment as I’m typing this it’s 6:21AM. But song lyrics as post titles and all that… I finally have my follow up with Dr. Brain next week. You know…TWELVE WEEKS after my EEG. But let’s rewind… I got a bill for the MRI (from March) and 2/5 of the 5-day EEG. Because Park Nicollet’s billing system makes a whole lot of sense. Bob took it away from me before I could… Keep reading…It’s like five AM…
