Tattoos - apparently this has been the summer of ink. 😂

The Out of Order Brain tattoo was done in May - and the purple lilies tattoo was done this month.

I’ve got an artist that I really like, and I’m sure that I’ll get ideas as the time goes by.

A few Friday memes- somehow we’ve survived another day.

It’s a Wednesday in a month that has felt like nothing but Mondays.

I hope things will look up, but I’m not feeling it.

Have a meme, friends.

This is quite true for me. Like I have a playlist made up of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Frank Iero, and Black Sabbath. (So very much Metallica…lol)

That’ll calm me down far more easily than classical or New Age music. (Which, tbh, New Age type music seems to make my brain feel weird. 😬)

I’m headed towards Phase 2 of my consideration for epilepsy surgery. 😐

I’m getting another ambulatory EEG done at the end of the month, then I’m going to discuss those results and the potential next steps with my doctor in February.

If I do end up getting the brain worked on, I’m getting this.

I’ve taken the public bus to an emergency room for a severe asthma attack.

Several years ago, I took an Uber to the emergency room because of a serious meniscus tear in my knee.

And two years I took an Uber to the emergency room, with cellulitis and the beginnings of a staph infection.

I have to remember this with my epilepsy - I tend to see my seizures as going back to the start of that “6 months clear” goal. (6 months seizure free is required to get a driver’s license - regardless, I don’t drive.)

And some bad insurance advice - or just a silly meme, this time

At the end of January 2025, I get to rock this look again - 72 hour ambulatory EEG.

Last one was in 2018, this time we’re checking to see if my brain is still fully functioning with no seizures or auras.

I’ve had epilepsy for most of my life - and this is a pretty accurate image of what it’s like.

Not included is the messages reading like Yoda took over your phone in that post-seizure state. 😅

Thanksgiving dinner - first time making it myself, and it came out pretty well.

I made it today because I needed the turkey breast to thaw completely. (Last second decision to make the meal…was probably gonna happen. 😅)

Indeed - I spent thanksgiving with my sister and niece last year, and I was on sides.

This year I was by myself- and made a turkey breast. Which I had no idea they were so big!

Didn’t have foil, so I used parchment paper. And it’s not really pretty, but it was quite tasty!

Thanksgiving memes - I’m all about the food and family.

Since the family is unable to get together this year, I’m going to try making a Thanksgiving meal myself.

I’m 51 years old, and I’ve made almost anything but the turkey. Wish me luck. 😂🤞🏻

It’s Friday - so it’s time for bad insurance advice, and a few laughs.

One last meme, before I go to bed
