Hiccups

Wednesday morning, I made myself a protein shake and tried to ignore the nausea that had been coming and going for the past 2 weeks. A few hours later, I started hiccuping.

I’ve dealt with bouts of hiccups since high school and usually they go away on thier own after a few hours to 2 days. The longest I had them was during my first stint at college where they lasted for 4 days and only went away when I got muscle relaxers from the nurse on campus at which point I slept for 2 day straight.

Today marks day 3 of my battle with the synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF). I have an appointment with my doctor at 2:30pm this afternoon. If you want to see some of the crazy things I’ve done to myself over the last three days, click the More link. Continue reading ‘Hiccups’

Getting ready for Leather Retreat

This year, instead of going to Dark Odyssey Summer Samp in September, I’m going to attend Dark Odyssey Leather Retreat during the last week of June. I’m a little apprehensive about going by myself, but I’m also really excited! I don’t have any play dates or sex dates set up yet but I do have a line on some cuddle time and am looking forward to a private Cigar party with some great people. Plus I’m working a ton in registration so I’ll get to meet a lot of folks as they arrive - I’m sure I’ll be able to set something up if I feel like it :)

A gloomy day that held so much promise

I had big plans for today (there are 3 town street fairs within 20 miles of my house and 1 is a gay pride celebration) but it’s gloomy, rainy, damp, humid and kinda yuck outside. Soulhuntre, Kimiko and Seraphin are coming over anyway (because they’re great family and I’d kill them if they bailed) but now I’m not sure what to do with them when they get here. Meh. I should probably just put on an extra layer and drag everyone out as planned. I’m probably just being sullen and moody for no good reason. <shrugs> I’m like that sometimes.

I miss seeing my non-leather-family. I’d like to schedule some catch up time with those of you I dont’ see often. Please email me and let me know if you want to get together (for coffee, dinner or a date night) and when you’re free.

Ed. Note: We DID go out as planned, the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. I was just being a ninny and that cleared up after about 30 minutes of outdoors and sunshine.

Redesign

If you come to the site to read this blog, you’ll notice a few new things. Yesterday, I replaced the header image and added a new page. Today, thanks to Viviane’s Blogroll, I’ve updated my links list to point at the sites I think are worth a look.

Did you know that NYC’s 2009 LGBT Pride March is Sunday June 28, 2009? I think I might march this year. Anyone else plan to walk with TES?

Go Iowa!

Not that I’m a big political animal, but I feel the need to share the good news in Iowa today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30433846/

Crazy that IOWA is more progressive than most of the East Coast, but there it is.
