    Someone suggested putting a bowl of vinegar and a bowl of baking soda in the area where it is stinkiest and a fan in the window. Believe it or not, it just might do the trick except it is suppose to get cold tonight....

    Headaches and MRI's

    Thursday, December 10, 2009, 09:07 AM EST [General]

    I had a headache the entire month of November complete with double vision. Had an MRI to see if there was something going on. Got the results a few days later and yesterday I saw the Dr.

    I am a little further in info than I was. The Dr said that the MRI showed multiple white patches in my brain, the largest in the frontal left lobe. Lymes Disease has been added to the mix just for testing since I have been camping over the summer since my last trip, migraines, MS, and Vasculitis.

    Next stop: Neurologist most likely for a Spinal Tap... doesn't that just sound lovely, yes?

    Yeowtch. I hope they can isolate/treat it Julie. Migranes too. Certainly painful and robbing. I don't suppose the diet's changed eh?

    No, bananas are the same all over. Just gotta keep an eye on them. Maybe you should ask your house brownie to remind you when the 'nanas are ready to eat! LOL

    Thank you for the comment. You look in the fruit bowl one minute they are green, you go past again, the're yellow, you think great I'll have one in a minute. Too late they've gone too soft and squishy, I've missed the moment yet again! Perhaps it's only bananas we get here in England.

    Love and light

    Dear Julia,

    I am working part time and now getting an extension from unemployment, so I can now squeeze out a beginners set of tools to use. Had to drop out because I couldn't afford to buy tools, but I plan on going back after Labor Day and finish my unicorn. When it is done I will try and put a picture on my blog for you to see. I am still looking for full time work without any luck so far, but hope to be working full time soon.

    I see what you mean; I was just imagining that the practice in rapid sketch might be an interesting exercise. (Did I already comment this?)

    Thanks for the idea, but I was blogging about a physical site, one where the Faeriefest could be held -- But I'll put up an advertising site on Myspace and Facebook and probably set up a webpage eventually.
