I recently wrote about how I was struggling to find new glasses as a new eyeglasses wearer at age 40-something.
And — surprise! I got to reconnect with Andra, the person who inspired the post! {weep}
Meanwhile, I have to tell you my favorite read of the week came from Susie Lindau.
So if you have a moment, check out her recent blog post: “How Patsy Ramsey Ruined My Life.” It’s not about what you think.
Probably.
I was prescribed Klonopin for insomnia in 2005. Seven years later, after a slow, medically supervised wean, I became cognitively impaired, and after 30 months of intense suffering, I have been resurrected - a phoenix, come from the ashes, ready to battle doctors and big Pharma, while offering empathic support to those still suffering protracted withdrawal symptoms.
A perfectionist by nature, I'm learning to find beauty in the chaos. I'm the girl with the big ideas and the big hair. And words. Always words.

Dawg. Well looks like I’ll have to spend a buck at the dollar store and buy my own. Using my United Health care vision plan(free pair once a year), making an appointment, finding parking and reading 14 chapters of something in the waiting room( I see why they call them “waiting” rooms) with a magnifying glass is too much of a hassle. One time I was in the waiting room and a new president had been elected and served a year before I got to see the doctor. Boy, was I hungry when I left.

And here I thought the cookies were just for LOVE. I didn’t realize they were a bribe.
You can’t mess with the ole pull the name out of a hat trick.
Sometimes I use random number generator.
I’m so glad to have reconnected. Let’s talk when you get home. Enjoy Israel for Hanukkah!
