a pause for snowflakes

Snowflakes! (Photo credit: nutmeg66)

The first snow fell yesterday. Lasted a minute. Later or before, pouring rain. I’m nursing toothache, earache, headache. I’ve been to the doctor, the dentist, and Cub Med, I mean, WebMD. The dentist says it is a jaw shift, caused by clenching the jaw in sleep. Who knew? All I’ve known is every morning for a year, I’ve woken up with a stuffed nose. I blamed it on allergy, on sea level after altitude. I’m good with heights, but get queasy on boats. Except ferries. Ferries I love. Notice, this blog is just writing itself.

So, I’m in some pain, and I’m refusing engagements, and it hasn’t snowed, and the writing is hard, but life is still pretty good. I went to the coffee store. I spoke with my parents. I petted a beautiful young lab. I got a humidifier. And that moment of snow fall, that was joyful.

I love the stream of consciousness style of your blog – it’s writing itself! I am sorry about your earache, toothache, headache, but support your journey to sort it out. A humidifier sounds like a good start. I call the hospital Club Med – hahaha! Glad it’s just WebMD for you. I hope you get more snow – that is, if you like it. I’ve had grinding of teeth – usually stress-related. Have more fun! Walk more. Eat chocolate – okay, just a little. Be well. Your blog writing always inspires me to be freer with my own – thanks, Indira! -Dana

Hi Dana,

Thanks for your comments and great advice! I am thinking of making Nigel Slater’s beet chocolate cake as a way of getting some veggies! It’s funny how just being honest about the day promotes so much blog response. Hope you are well &able!
