About a month ago I let readers know I was going through some health issues, and due to that, would likely be limited in my writing capability, but that I would get back to it as soon as possible. Fast-forward a little over a month, and I'm still not fully well, but am showing some signs of improvement. I've gone in to see a nurse practitioner twice, as well as a cardiologist. The cardiologist, for the time being at least, doesn't think the matter is heart-related, so that's a good thing. The doctors, for the most part, appear to believe it's anxiety-related, so they've been guessing-and-checking with different medications and dosages. Outside of a couple weeks during the summer when I was suffering from foot pain, I hadn't been prescribed anything for 4-5 years, so my body definitely hasn't fully adjusted to the changes yet. It's been an incredibly bumpy, frustrating, and frightening process for my family and I, but I'm (we're all) greatly hoping the matter gets sorted soon, I can feel like my old self again, and we can all get on with our "normal" lives before long. Thanks for your patience. There are days when I feel fully capable of writing and other days when it's difficult to get out of bed, let alone sit down at the computer and write for an extended period of time. I sincerely hope I'll be back in my old form soon and have plenty of interesting and/or humorous stories to share. Also, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. My family and I greatly appreciate it. We're just crossing our fingers that this difficult chapter is but a thing of the past very soon, and that the next chapter is a much brighter one.
I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
