Never had a life of ease…

Sara

September. Labor Day. The ceremonial end to summer and the start of school. I always hated Labor Day weekend. It meant school started. I hated school from day one. I loved brand new school supplies. Getting new shoes was fun. New clothes were nice except the part about going to the store to pick them out. (HAAATE clothes shopping.) But school man, miserable experience from the very first day. Now that I no longer have… Keep reading…Never had a life of ease…

Just gonna stay here…

Sara

As it turns out Nurse Brain and Dr. Brain are not on the same page. It turned out to be a good thing, but I could have done without the added stress of misinformation in the first place. When I first talked to Nurse Brain, she told me the EEG was clear and found nothing, but Dr. Brain wanted me to go for NEUROPSYCH TESTING. ‘Scuse me? A doctor of said testing was supposed to… Keep reading…Just gonna stay here…

It’s like five AM…

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…

Nothing but time…

When the internet came back up and I opened Firefox, I realized I should have just stayed off the fucking internet. BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. Instead of internet…(and… Keep reading…Nothing but time…

Cream Soup Alternative…

Sara

I was born and raised in Minnesota. Cream of [insert flavor here] soup is a dietary staple. You can barely make hotdish without it. HOTDISH. In the age of Eliminate!All!The!Chemicals! there is a very strong anti-cream soup movement. I’m not afraid of a few chemicals in my food, but I’m not opposed to finding replacements with pronounceable ingredients either. There are a whole lot of recipes out there for cream soup alternatives. Some you make… Keep reading…Cream Soup Alternative…

Meatballs with Buffalo sauce…

Sara

I grew up in a house of really bland food. The only seasonings my mom ever used were salt and pepper. My dad is picky as hell when it comes to food and is very meat and potatoes…bland meat and potatoes. Meat and potatoes are not a bad thing. I love me some potatoes of any variety—I can take or leave (usually leave) the meat. I just prefer a little more flavor than salt and… Keep reading…Meatballs with Buffalo sauce…
