Wonderfully Imperfect

About This Site

i am a woman on the edge -- on the edge of greatness, of mania, and of wonder and amazement, all at the same time.

i am an artist and a corporate refugee, who has struggled and derailed and been really STUCK....and who continually dusts herself off.

here i share my artistic and personal journey, and how i became known as the "princess of getting up again" and the "imp-ress of imperfection"

it's a celebration of continually focusing on "being where i am," and never coming from a place of lack or "not good enough". it's a celebration of being "wonderfully imperfect", and you're invited!

I hate being sick AGAIN

I just wanna vent!

I’ve spent most of the past 2 months either being sicker than a dog, or fighting computer glitches.

I’ve had shingles, OVER AND OVER.

All of a sudden I’m able to sense when they’re coming on:
there’s a weird tast in my mouth,
a tingling, as my fever starts to kick in.

Sometimes it turns into shingles and others into (AGGGGH) fever blisters
where I’ve got these lovely blisters in my mouth and down my throat.

BUT THE WORST THING
is getting Several days of a worse-than-killer-flu-THANG
that KNOCKS ME ON MY BUTT
AND MAKES ME ABSO-FRIGGING-LUTELY WORTHLESS.

IT’S DRAG-MY-ASS-TO-THE-COUCH TIME,
drifting in and out of fever,
until my body decides it’s Ok -

And then, a few days later
(CAN WE HAVE SOME “JAWS” MUSIC, PLEASE?)
I’LL GET EM AGAIN!!!

Not ONLY am I cancelling everything I was SUPPOSED to be doing,
and either pissing people off BIGTIME, or sending them the message that I’M A FLAKE----

when I FINALLY get my butt back in gear,
it seems I’M EITHER STILL FIGHTING WITH SOME COMPUTER VIRUS
OR SOME GLITCH ON MY HARD DRIVE!

YEAH, I KNOW.......

I’m sure the Universe has some reason for all of this!!
I just don’t have a clue WHAT.

HEY THERE....UNIVERSE.....

COULD-JA JUST SEND ME AN EMAIL NEXT TIME, HUH???????

(now then:
back to the couch!!!)

First off, I want to tell you how much I love, love, LOVE your blog...it’s very cool to be able to read your life, your ups and downs, in very down-to-earth, like you’re talking right to me language. You’re amazing, Nancy. And, I don’t think I’ve told you this yet, but I love the poetic style you’ve adopted on the Forum, and now, how you talk about twirling. Just thinking about twirling makes me happy. When we all get together in the future, let’s all have a twirling-fest.

Ok, so I didn’t want to ask you this on the Forum, since I don’t want to be super-preachy or a jerk or anything, but I did want to ask if you’ve ever tried Valtrex or L-Lysine in your diet? I ask because I tried Valtrex, and eh, didn’t work so well, but L-Lysine does, whenever I feel those stupid tinglies happening, if I take it twice a day, either I don’t break out, or it doesn’t last very long. It just sucks to hear how horribly ill you get and how there’s that flu-ish part to that stupid virus that just gets you, and I feel for you. I know, I’m being advice-giving, and you didn’t ask for it, but I just wondered if you had tried either, and if so, if either had ever helped you. It’s just sad when I’m seeing you go through that, cause being that sick for that long just sucks.

Oh, and Valtrex is prescription, but L-Lysine is in the Vitamin aisle. It’s an amino acid that is an antagonist to the tryptophan that the virus needs to reproduce. And turkey is supposed to be a no-no, because of the tryptophan it has, which can then trigger an outbreak.

Love and thoughts of twirling,

Kristina
