When the Beginning of the Week Looks Like the End of Your Last One

Last Friday I felt nauseous, with erratic sleep leaving me feeling blah, and my temperature hovering between 'maybe I have something' and 'maybe I am perimenopausal'. I called in sick, slept a bit more, then made oatmeal to eat while watching The Walking Dead. In fact, Oatmeal seemed my speed as my stomach didn't feel … Continue reading When the Beginning of the Week Looks Like the End of Your Last One

Glitches and Clutter

The New Saga: From Computer Language To The Language of Medicine

After my Web Development course, I debated either taking Photoshop or the HTML/XHTML course. I also debated taking nothing, or taking another acting class. What's a life-long learner to do? How about take another course I always wanted to take? Something like Medical Terminology? Yes, I wanted to take this course.
