Fatigue . . . zzzzz

Posted September 17, 2009 By LifeIsChange

I’ve been having a really rough time the last several days because I missed my Yaz for almost three days. Word of advice for anyone taking Yaz for PMDD: Don’t skip doses! I had a small snafu with refilling my prescription last Friday (my own fault, for not planning ahead) and had to go until […]

Feeling Crappy, Screwups, and Decisions

Posted October 10, 2009 By LifeIsChange

1. Feeling Crappy Turns out, I didn’t have a hangover the other day. It was the beginning of my PMDD/Migraine/Depression/Misery Days. At least they don’t drag on for as long as they used to. There’s that. It was particularly rough this time, though, and the inner critic really capitalized on the opportunity to run rampant. I […]

My Trip, and A Few Pictures

Posted February 19, 2010 By LifeIsChange

I arrived safely home on Monday from my trip, and I had a great time! The flight up: My flight left Friday night, about a half hour later than originally scheduled, because when the plane came in from the previous flight, they had to circle a few times while waiting for their turn to land. […]

Strange Horoscope

Posted March 10, 2010 By LifeIsChange

I don’t read my horoscope very often, especially the ones that show up on just about every home page option list that only take the sun sign into account. I mean, come on, every Gemini out there is not going to have the exact same kind of day. But today, as I was revamping my […]

Going Off Of Yaz / Beyaz

Posted July 19, 2011 By LifeIsChange

I realized it’s been a while, again, since I posted, so I think it’s time for a catch-up. The biggest thing that has been on my radar recently has been going off of Yaz (which is now called Beyaz). Ickiness warning for anyone who finds discussion of women’s health issues off-putting: the rest of this […]

Happy Blogiversary to Me!

Posted October 28, 2016 By LifeIsChange

Eight years ago today, I began writing LifeIsChange over at wordpress dot com. Wow. I’ve been working this last week or so on bringing those old posts back, and in the process, have been re-reading them. So much has changed in eight years. While I was aware that huge change was happening, I don’t think I […]
