Photo by Antony Trivet A week ago today I started taking the synthetic hormone levothyroxine to treat my newly diagnosed, but not newly existing, hypothyroidism. At first, the medication was truly magical. A transformational experience. For those not in the know, when you take this kind of synthetic hormone to help boost your thyroid function, … Continue reading no more beast mode…
making a medical case for ground unicorn horn…
Monday I was back at the doctor's office. More tests. More talking. More trying to figure out what exactly it is that is going on with me. I've aged into some health problems. Or probably more accurately I've aged into being aware of some health problems that have been problematic for years but I just … Continue reading making a medical case for ground unicorn horn…
beginnings and the endings that bring them about…
I did a thing today on one of the social things. Granted it's the social thing I never really think of as being social. LinkedIn. I went to my profile and surveyed the content. And then I started editing. I selected the most recent role — Community Manager at Automattic — and I ticked the … Continue reading beginnings and the endings that bring them about…
consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…
I like to shop local. I have a huge preference for shopping local. Super duper ultra local when I can. Like... If I can walk to the shop and it's locally owned that's where I want to spend my hard earned money. But we don't always get what we want. At least I don't. If … Continue reading consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…
trying new things…
When you're young it's easy to make new discoveries and try new things. Everything is new. As a kid just waking up each day and hopping out of bed can yield new unexpected discoveries. But as we get older and our experience in the world starts to add up and make us, well us, it … Continue reading trying new things…
the last day…
I'm not always good at writing about the good days. I tend to hate the internet trend of posting when everything is perfect and beautiful and you're a pretty pretty princess who is blessed with the grace of all things beautiful. I want people to share their joy. I just don't like it when that's … Continue reading the last day…
the narrator…
Perhaps I read too much when I was little. Or saw too many movies with voiceover narration. I'm not sure how it happened. [Narrator: She is. She's just not telling you.] But at a very young age some part of my mind decided the best way to prepare for a challenge, an adventure, or even … Continue reading the narrator…
welcome back old cami…
At the beginning of the winter when I went through my drawers I realized that I really only had a few comfortable casual long sleeved black shirts. Which is to say I realized I only had a few long sleeved shirts because most of my shirts are black. I mean I have things with polkadots … Continue reading welcome back old cami…
Weekend purgatory…
I would like to start off by acknowledging two things so you don't have to later ask yourself if I'm aware of them: Yes. Yes I am deeply aware that it is privilege that I've had two weeks off. It's not even just like... out there in the world privilege. It's right here in my … Continue reading Weekend purgatory…
44 and wondering what even is time anymore…
You know that scene in the movie in which some woman is chronicling her life. She's seated in front of the laptop staring at the blinking cursor on the blank screen and the voiceover starts. I've been sitting here for the past few minutes replaying that scene in my head. But it's me staring at … Continue reading 44 and wondering what even is time anymore…
