My cicadas ramped up their volume yesterday as my ears became full. Today a clicking sound has joined them. It seems to me I have heard the clicks in nature. I wish I could say that all my tinnitus sounds were from nature, but the truth is I get other sounds from time to time.Continue reading “Tinnitus”

Mikey’s Tail
I can’t remember if I mentioned this before. I am an Indy Published Author. For now it’s just my children’s book, Mikey’s Tail, that is available. Hopefully, that will change soon with my horror novel. Mikey’s Tail is free on Kindle Unlimited or $10.00 for a paperback. Mikey really wants a tail of his own,Continue reading “Mikey’s Tail”
Saying Goodbye
My dad died more than a week ago. My brother and I traveled to Ohio so we could say goodbye one final time. My sister, bless her soul, arranged everything. My dad had a military send off with taps and the gun salute. His stone will be placed in a couple of months. Hopefully, hisContinue reading “Saying Goodbye”
Meniere’s & Stuff
My head as been wonky. My ears are buzzing loudly and I’m surprised I can hear anything at all. My balance is worse than normal. My body aches, thanks fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I sometimes choke when eating. Through all this I enjoy my life. Yet I am still living my life. I am trying toContinue reading “Meniere’s & Stuff”
Balance Awareness
Many people take walking for granted. Those of us with vestibular issues cannot. I am lucky that I am able to do things within reason. I am not hiking on trails that don’t have rails at the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon and places like that. I tip when I walk. I cannot walk aContinue reading “Balance Awareness”
Feeling Better
After months of an upper respiratory/sinus infection, I am starting to feel better just in time for allergies to take over. Despite that I feel better. I have enough energy to exercise again. I have enough energy to clean a bit. Hopefully the better shape I get in the more my energy will come back.Continue reading “Feeling Better”

The only thing you really need to become a writer is to write. In fact this is theContinue reading “Becoming a Writer”
Cruising
We are back from our cruise to Halfmoon Cay, Grand Turk, Aruba and Bonaire. It was an amazing trip. Let me show you some highlights before I tell you about my stress. It was beautiful if not a bit cloudy here and there. I started out completely stressed and not knowing if I could evenContinue reading “Cruising”
Seating Makes a Difference
My husband bought tickets to see Donny Osmond. We were in the third row to the right of the stage. Surprisingly enough the strobing lights didn’t bother my eyes as much as other concerts have when I was seated further away. I truly enjoyed the concert in the smaller venue. The noise wasn’t too loudContinue reading “Seating Makes a Difference”
The Payback Continues
I didn’t feel well all day yesterday, but late afternoon the mini spins started. Things went wonky on me for lack of a better word. My head felt off and then the vertigo began. On and off, until finally I admitted defeat and took a Valium. The Valium allowed me to sleep most of theContinue reading “The Payback Continues”
