alee_grrl: Burning coals of a fire.  Text: Let us walk together and find healing beyond the flames. (firewalk)
This has been floating around for a while, and I'm sure people have seen it. But I was reminded of it today when another friend posted it to her blog. It is really one of the best explanations of what it is like to live with a disability or serious illness. I count my blessings that Lyme can be put completely into remission with treatment, as there are many other illnesses that cannot. I know that I have learned to count my spoons though, to take my time and look at how that time is spent carefully. I have a feeling that this will follow me even after I finish treatment, and I don't think that is a bad thing.

Below the Root is a seriously old school video game. It is not the first video game I remember playing, but it is one of my all time childhood favorites. It was released in 1984 by Windham Classics, a company that did several other very neat games based on books. The only other one I got to play was Alice in Wonderland, but that was another one of my childhood favorites.

In response to the Climbing the Poet's Tree Challenge #7 over on [community profile] poetree. The challenge was to answer the question "How are you?" in etheree format. Please consider participating in the challenge. It's a lot of fun, and there are prizes. :) Please note, judges, that this entry is not valid for winning as it is posted by a co-administrator for the group.

Finals Crunch

sleep
need, want
drags me down
grip that coffee
chug it, refill, drink
caffeinated goodness
pry my eyes open, must arm
for finals, can't sleep just yet
review notes, outline, tab books, revise
and so armed may sleep 'ere the battle comes.



And now that I've been completely silly. I'm off to bed.
