Living with TMD

If you don’t already know I have TMD which is emporomandibular disorders. The dentist discovered it earlier this year when I was in South Carolina and had to have dental surgery.

Such a Failure!

Have you ever had moments where you totally felt that way? That is how I have felt this week. There is so much that I am now behind in and so much that I really need to get done. The problem is there were several issues over the course of the last couple of weeks that have caused all of this. Tomorrow I won’t be on much because I am going to the dentist and more than likely  won’t feel like doing anything else afterwards. But who knows! I may feel so totally fabulous!! Fingers crossed!!

Resolutions and More

Today is the big day! The day when people everywhere starts making those resolutions and they begin a whole new chapter in their lives. While I have things I want to accomplish this year I am certainly not calling them resolutions  The reason is that resolutions tend to fall by the wayside and I want to achieve my goals. I have listed them all in Evernote and plan on marking them off one by one once I accomplish them. Some are for work such as gaining new readers and followers while others are too personal to share.

This week has been an emotional roller coaster and it is barely half over. I started the week with such a plan but then life it seems had its own plans. If you keep up with me on Facebook you will remember back the week before Thanksgiving I discovered a lump in my throat. Well I had a sinusitis infection at the time so I figured it was simply a swollen lymph node. No big deal, the infection would go away and the node would return to normal.
