Started diamox and a couple of antihistamines to go with it since I'm allergic. About a week in to a low dose, and I'm having noticeably fewer attacks. Downside - I'm having noticeably fewer "good"

Continuing my writings on acclimating to steem - these are mostly for my friends and family. The perspective may not apply to you; I'm just trying to save myself saying the same things over and over again.

Running up against rules you aren't aware of can create a rude awakening for new users. This is a brief overview of approaching steem in a way that will help noobs steer clear of the big stumbles I have

Hanging out in steemspeak recently, I see a lot of people talking about how to help newcomers to this platform. Steem has an image to the public of "create great content and earn", and our

Last week, I suffered a pretty major attack while foxe was at work and foxboy was sleeping. I had my phone nearby, so I summoned foxe (she's amazing, btw). She got on the road, but that left me with 30

It was raining a lot last night. Couldn't sleep. Do I blame the rain and sound like a loon? I was up most of the night wishing I didn't hurt so much. Gave up around midnight and came downstairs for a

We've always provided foxboy with toys and books a little above his age. He isn't forced to use them or anything, but we make them available if he's interested. Recently, he's been into YA fantasy novels.

It has been about a month since I started my Node.js experience. I have learned quite a bit, but would still rate myself a novice. Image from To start, I took a few introduction to javascript courses.

Everybody has their marker for knowing Spring has sprung: robins, snow packs, lawn care.... for the last several years, this tree has been my marker. Looking out my front door I was feeling a little frisky

Why should periodic paralysis mean cognitive issues? Classically, it is not a symptom of HypoPP. Based on my own experiences and guesses, there are a couple of contributing factors. Image from After an

The weather has been lovely, so Foxboy has been often seen in his sandbox lately. He loves it in there! If he's feeling creative, he'll ask for some water to pour in there to make the sand more mold-able.

Behold - the dog! Our 13 year old rez dog Poor girl is a little tuckered out after her bath, but so am I. That is her own couch next to her (it's really unattractive and a friend was going to throw it

Being a nerd, makerspaces have always captivated me. We can’t all afford a CNC or even a 3D printer. A decent audio/video space is beyond the means of many. Not everyone has the engineering knowledge to

As more things become automated, there's a lot of noise around Universal Basic Income, or UBI. The idea is that we can still have an economy that evolves based on people's choice of how they spend. If

Hopefully this is the last downer post for a while. There are a lot of great things going on in my steem world; IRL has mostly been a holding pattern. Good news first - I went 10 straight days without

Many poems have been authored for @foxe over our years together. I enjoy writing them. Usually they are a spontaneous expression, but I wanted to write her something specifically for our fifth (wood)

It is really difficult to imagine how I would have survived this long without meditation. My grandfather taught me some things to help me sleep when I was around 8. Simple things that you may already be
