Stiff

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I have the WORST stiff neck I’ve ever had.  It’s killing me.  It’s been getting worse and worse over the last few weeks.  I think it’s a combination of the fact that I sit in front of a computer all day and probably with posture that’s not so great, plus I hate my mattress and [...]

Or Am I Losing My Mind

Monday, July 27th, 2009

SO MANY THINGS are making me out of my mind crazy at the moment!
I guess I’m just out of sorts.  Max had a fever last night and some of today and it royally screwed up my sleep.  He seems better now but I just have had an “I HAVE to be alone” moment tonight.  Conrad [...]

Mamma Mia, Max!

Friday, July 24th, 2009

So I know this isn’t exactly the most fascinating story in the world I’m about to tell.  I won’t be selling movie rights to it, won’t be adapting it for the stage.
BUT I have to talk about what happened last night when Max insisted on watching Mamma Mia.
Max OD’ed on Mamma Mia last summer.  [...]

Carpal Tunnel

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Been doing a lot of typing this week!  Between work and starting my new Examiner.com writing dealy, I’ve got sore arms, sore shoulders, sore neck and sore eyes!  Just takes getting used to, that’s all.
So I’ve added a new link on the sidebar to the right (on my blog’s main page), “Articles by Maile Hernandez,” [...]

Busy Little Beaver

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Yes, that’s me.  I mean, compared to how I usually am.  For some reason I was inspired to get off my duff last week and do a few things to make my life, and myself, hopefully a tad more interesting.
Well, I already mentioned the Examiner.com thing.  That’s progressing and I should have my first article [...]

Well, I like to write, as is obvious.  Sometimes I like to pontificate.  And often I tend to write odes.  Odes are my specialty, actually.  Having already written an ode about Hale Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast, I won’t write another, as certain people have in the past found my odes distasteful.  I’m not mentioning names.  (On [...]

Doctor Oh-My!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Well, I haven’t been to the doctor in a long while, and even though I’m really a very healthy person, I’ve been exposed to the health issues of others close to me.  My mother’s death, of course.  And, early in our marriage Conrad was hospitalized several times for heart issues.  Now he’s under control with [...]

If there were ever a moment that I wished my little boy had more than the attention span of a puppy, it was while I watched Beauty and the Beast at the Gilbert’s Hale Centre Theatre.  I know he would be entranced, as so many fully-costumed children in the audience were, at being so close [...]

I haven’t been feeling very well lately.  I’m not really sure why but I’m betting on the 115 degree temperatures with some humidity.  Maybe as I get older I’m not as sanguine about this kind of weather as I used to be.
I’ve been having lots of fatigue, and head rushes when I stand up.  I’ve [...]
